Presented by Supervision, Regulation, and Credit
Home ownership has long served as a primary source of wealth for most American households. With home prices rising in most markets, the dream of home ownership has become out of reach for many, and affordability has emerged as a major issue for potential buyers in the post-pandemic housing market.
In this webinar, Atlanta Fed residential real estate expert Domonic Purviance was joined by Wei Gan, cofounder of Ribbon; Matthew Neisser, chief executive officer of Lending One; Karen Gados, managing partner at Pikes Peak Capital Holdings; and Nik Shah, chief executive officer of Home.llc to discuss these topics:
- Housing demand has weakened recently as economic uncertainty, historically high home prices, and rising rates weigh on consumers
- Widespread decline of home ownership affordability throughout the nation has sparked increased interest in innovative ways to make owning a home more attainable for consumers
- Several recent innovations that have emerged seek to increase home ownership attainability, including increasing the competitive position of consumers when purchasing a home and increasing affordability through shared equity.
