About this episode

More homes are for sale now than any time in the past six years. Mortgage rates just shot up to above 7% with no relief in sight. Markets are seeing (substantial) price cuts, and there could be much more to come this winter. So, is a crash on the way, or is this lukewarm correction simply becoming something stronger than we had imagined? In this September 2026 housing market update, we’ll cover it all! First, we’ll talk about the massive change in mortgage rates this month, what’s caused it, and whether any relief is on the horizon.

Dave gives his full risk report and shares where he thinks interest rates could end up hovering. Plus, the tactic he’s using to get 10%, 15%, or even 20% off real estate deals while sellers have their backs against the wall.
