16:10

The U.S. homebuilding industry is facing significant headwinds in 2025, as rising mortgage rates, high construction costs, and new tariff concerns put pressure on builders. After a surge in construction at the end of 2024, housing starts fell nearly 10% in January, signaling growing uncertainty in the market. Meanwhile, builder confidence has dropped to its lowest level since before President Trump’s first term, with concerns over affordability, unsold inventory, and policy uncertainty weighing heavily. In this episode, we break down the latest housing data, explore why homebuilders are pulling back, and discuss what it all means for the future of U.S. home construction.

California homeowners are facing yet another financial strain as rising wildfire risks push insurance costs even higher. Following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, the state’s FAIR Plan—a last-resort insurer—announced a $1 billion assessment to cover wildfire losses, a move expected to drive up premiums for millions of homeowners. Insurers like State Farm are already seeking emergency rate hikes, while private companies continue withdrawing from high-risk areas, leaving many Californians with fewer, costlier coverage options. As affordability concerns mount, this growing insurance crisis threatens to make homeownership even more unattainable in one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets.
