Mortgage Rates, Rising Inventory & Regional Trends: A Market Breakdown with Andy Walden

What is going on with mortgage rates, inventory, and delinquencies? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, housing market expert Andy Walden joins us to break down the latest trends shaping real estate in 2025. We dive into key market dynamics—from rising housing inventory and slowing home price growth to shifting mortgage rates and regional market opportunities.

Andy explains how improving affordability, increased mortgage applications, and historically low delinquency rates point to a market that's stabilizing, not crashing. We also explore how today's real estate landscape compares to the 2006 housing crisis—and why this time is different.
