Inflation’s finally coming down, but we’re not out of the woods when it comes to the possibility of a full-on recession by year’s end. For real estate investors, what does that mean?

It’s a tough question to answer, but I’m always so grateful to have Daren Blomquist, VP of Market Economics at Auction.com, hop on with me to break it down for us. In short? It’s a good time to be looking at lower-end properties, but approach expensive single-family homes with caution–especially on the West Coast!

In today’s episode, Daren and I dig into what he’s seeing in his high-level KPIs, what’s happening in the housing supply, distressed housing markets and consumer spending trends. You’ll also hear why it’s a good time to be cautiously bullish as you hunt for new deals to add to your portfolio.
