Overview
In this episode, host Charlotte Daly is joined by Dr. Goran Ridic to discuss the foundational economic forces reshaping housing across the globe. As part of our Economics Series, the discussion provides essential context for understanding today’s housing challenges – from interest rates and inflation to affordability pressures and persistent supply shortages.
The conversation examines how states are responding to housing challenges, which regions are seeing growth or decline, and what these trends mean for younger generations trying to enter the market. They also discuss longer-term forces such as remote work, demographic shifts, and climate-driven migration and how they may redefine housing economics in the decade to come.
