Today, your hosts, Ryan Glick and Charles Covey, dig into several real estate industry articles. They start by looking at an article which argues that new construction offers better value for developers amid a severe housing shortage.
Next, they shift their focus to an article from CNBC that explores why housing inflation remains high. Despite a cooling in the broader economy, the slow decline in housing costs continues to impact the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Charles shares his insights into the outdated methods of calculating the CPI and how modern data collection could provide more accurate and timely economic indicators.
Finally, Ryan and Charles review a visualization from Visual Capitalist, mapping the growth of house prices by state in 2024.
Ryan sits down with Peter Murphy Lewis to talk about how storytelling can help developers and builders attract better talent and build stronger teams. They break down simple, practical ways to use video and real stories to stand out in today’s labor market.
Keith Miller joins the show to talk about his focus on building attainably priced homes at scale in Montana, why he’s using factory-built housing, and what it really takes to bring new supply to fast-growing markets.
Ryan and Charles break down falling homebuyer demand, a heated TikTok debate on millennial housing choices, a proposed property tax hike in New York City, and what a shrinking U.S. population could mean for developers.
