We love, love, love to talk to housing economists in the trenches of the housing market.
Tom KeeneHOST
Selma Hepp is wonderful at Cotality, and the chief economist.
Tom KeeneHOST
Selma, what do we actually do? What is our behavior at a new bank rate, 30-year 7.51%? Not like Fed talk or yield talk.
Tom KeeneHOST
What do people actually do?

This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
Rick ShargaGUEST
It is.
Keith WeinholdHOST
But I recently found it noteworthy, Rick, when Cotality's chief economist, Selma Hepp, to paraphrase her, she said that mortgage rates are not going to get down to levels where mass buyers want them for at least three years.
Rick ShargaGUEST
I think she's probably spot on.
Rick ShargaGUEST
Uh, if you look at recent revised forecasts from the Mortgage Bankers Association, from the economics team at Fannie Mae, they've all raised their mortgage forecast for 2027 to be no better than the high sixes.
Jordan LevineHOST
yeah we have our reimagine conference and expo which is open to all realtors and anybody can go i'll be doing a keynote lunch on wednesday where we'll talk all about the forecast for 2027 we're still working on it now so it'll be hot off the press as i deliver it we're going to also be rolling out a ton of new survey research we give you a little bit of some of what the renter said, but we have a lot of stuff on financial literacy or lack thereof and just kind of the path forward, who is actually out there buying and selling.
Jordan LevineHOST
We got results from our annual housing market survey, but even more so, I'm looking forward to our great econ panel where we're gonna have the chief economist from Cotality, which used to be CoreLogic, Selma Hepp will be there.
Jordan LevineHOST
And then we also have Logan Matashami from Housing Wire who will discuss what they see coming down the pike for the economy, for the housing market and how that all will play out here in California.
Jordan LevineHOST
And then of course, there's a ton of non-economic stuff too.
