Jess Uphoff Season 1 Episode 10

Tariffs. Inflation. The Federal Funds rate. Unemployment.  Everyday, we're bombarded with messaging online, in the news, and around the water cooler.  But what's really going on with the housing market, and what really moves the needle when it comes to people's decision to buy or sell?

To get the answers we brought one of Housing Wire's lead analysts on the podcast to give it to us straight. Logan Mohtashami is a renowned expert in the mortgage and housing ecosystem, recognized for his insightful analysis and commentary on the U.S. economy and real estate market. His expertise has been featured extensively in news outlets, including CNBC, where he is a frequent guest.

On this episode of "This Jess'd In," Logan talked economic and market cycles, gave his thoughts on where the market is heading and dispelled some of the misconceptions you often hear on the internet.  In this episode we discussed:

➡️ The "canary in the coal mine" for a recession.

➡️ TWO periods in U.S. history that saw faster home value growth.

➡️ What it will take to get rates back into the 4s.

➡️ How the 30-year fixed rate is the world's greatest hedge against inflation.

➡️ And more!
