ABOUT THE EPISODE<\/h3>\n

We keep hearing there aren’t enough homes. Melody Wright drove tens of thousands of miles to test the housing shortage myth herself and what she saw in the neighborhoods doesn’t match the story we’re being sold.<\/p>\n

She’ll show you what’s actually sitting in these markets, and why the price you’re staring at has almost nothing to do with how much housing exists. That gap is where the money gets made or lost.<\/p>\n

I pushed her on the part that should worry anyone holding real estate right now: there’s a window opening in Q4 that the headlines aren’t pricing in. If she’s right about what’s coming, the people most confident about a shortage are the ones standing in the worst spot and they won’t see it until it’s already moved.<\/p>\n

Melody makes her case with frontline data, not talking points.<\/p>\n

Watch, then tell me whether your own market looks like scarcity or something else.<\/p>\n
