Here’s what he will be covering:

  • What the heck is happening with sales?
  • Why rents are leveling off and home prices are not.
  • How the down payment myth is blocking first-time buyers from purchasing.
  • Why credit availability has actually increased.
  • Why loan approval rates have jumped by 50 percent.
  • Fourth quarter economic forecast — the inventory is still the problem.
