Mortgage rates have climbed above 7%, putting renewed pressure on buyers, sellers, and the broader housing market. Steven Thomas and Brennen Thomas examine the rent-versus-buy debate, housing crash predictions, and whether today’s market is becoming increasingly K-shaped. The episode also breaks down why condos and townhomes are struggling more than detached homes and what higher rates could mean heading into 2027.
