About this episode
Haroon starts off the show extra sassy by giving Chris a taste of his own medicine. Chris quickly jumps in to a CNBC article about how 1 in 4 U.S. homebuyers want to move to a different city. The boys break down why Zillow tends to be bullish and their data should be looked at with caution. U.S bank lending is declining for the second straight week and Chris goes off on “tipflation” once again. He has been visceral every single time he talks about how out of control tipping has gotten. They round-out episode 165 by diving in to where starter homes are affordable and migration trends as reported by the always superior data source provider - Redfin. If you’ve read this far and you haven’t left us an “honest 5 star review,” we would appreciate you doing so now.
