Josh Barker Real Estate Podcast March 2025 Episode #40

Josh Barker and Joey Gartin discuss the current state of Northern California’s real estate market, highlighting concerns about potential recession, rising interest rates, and low inventory keeping home prices steady. They delve into the impact of economic transitions, including government spending shifts and tariff changes, on buyer participation and the housing market, while also noting that lower interest rates could encourage more sales despite existing challenges.
