Fastest Four: Housing Bubble Burst?
The Get Ready For The Future Show
<p>Is the housing market in a bubble that’s about to burst? With home prices up 57% nationally since 2019 — and even higher in places like Knoxville (86%) and Northwest Arkansas (84.5%) — it’s easy to wonder whether a crash is coming. In this week’s Fastest Four Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down the numbers and explains why economist Brian Wesbury says a housing collapse is highly unlikely.</p>
<p>We look at what’s actually driving today’s prices, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Under-building vs. over-building — why today’s inventory isn’t anything like the 2008 bubble</li>
<li>Government zoning and environmental restrictions tightening supply</li>
<li>Economic slowdowns and recession concerns — and what they really mean for homeowners and investors</li>
<li>The small 0.7% price dip this year — and why that’s a ripple, not a crash</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re worried about home values, retirement planning, or your investment strategy, this episode gives you the context—not the headlines.</p>
