2025 housing outlook under Trump has a lot to do with seniors

Meredith Whitney Advisory Group CEO Meredith Whitney comes on Catalysts to talk about the challenges in housing inventory and home affordability as her firm estimates that 60% of US homes are owned by senior citizens aged 60 years and above. "You're going to see a big upgrade cycle with seniors aging in place. What that means for affordability is I think you're going to see new homeowners continue to struggle and stay renters for longer," Whitney — who was dubbed the "Oracle of Wall Street" for forecasting the 2007-2008 Great Financial Crisis — tells Seana Smith and Madison Mills. Whitney weighs in on what kind of housing conditions are expected to persist into the incoming second Trump administration, including the options that older homeowners and homebuyers may have. "Seniors have taken out more debt at a faster rate than any other age cohort. And now they they are they hold 44% of total home equity outstanding — that's up from 19% in 2004. So you see seniors really struggle," Whitney states. "So I think that having them be able to tap into their their equity is going to be something that the Trump administration really pushes for, and there's $35 trillion of equity and over half of that is tappable." Whitney has previously communicated the impact of a "silver tsunami" on the housing market to Yahoo Finance as aging Baby Boomers turning 65 years old look to downsize, potentially freeing up inventory.

2025 will be 'a renter's market.' Redfin economist explains why.

Redfin (RDFN) chief economist Daryl Fairweather joins Wealth to discuss the evolving housing market dynamics headed into 2025. "We think the market will be a bit better next year," Fairweather states, highlighting increased market participation with more individuals listing, selling, and buying homes. However, she cautions that mortgage rates still remain "quite high," tempering overall market enthusiasm. Fairweather suggests that if mortgage rates were to cool to around 5%, it could trigger "a large burst in demand," potentially sparking "more bidding wars" and "price growth." Interestingly, the current rate stability has created a sense of urgency among market participants. "There's no reason to wait anymore," she notes, which is driving more homeowners to list properties and buyers to enter the market. Looking ahead to 2025, Fairweather predicts a significant shift, expecting it to be "a renter's market" driven by new construction, numerous vacant units, and an expanding rental supply.

Commercial real estate is more than empty office buildings

The commercial real estate market is recovering from pandemic-driven lows in office rentals. Marcus & Millichap CEO Hessam Nadji sits down with Catalysts Co-Hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to discuss the commercial real estate market, saying the sector is so much more than office space. "The whole industry gets a very warped perception because of what's happening with office buildings in so many ways," Nadji says, explaining that while office rentals are weak, retail rentals are booming. "We refer to retail as the new apartments and offices and new retail. Because, as you know, over the last 20 years, retail real estate and brick-and-mortar retail have been under so much pressure because of e-commerce, and the industry has dealt with it. There's been so much reimagination and renovation of retail space that has positioned that specialty to come back really strong."

2 ways Trump's immigration proposals affect commercial real estate

President-elect Donald Trump talked about his plans for immigration reform at the New York Stock Exchange when he rang the opening bell Thursday morning after being named Time's "Person of the Year" for the second time. Trump's proposed mass deportations could have a complex impact on the real estate market. Marcus & Millichap (MMI) CEO Hessam Nadji sits down with Catalysts Co-Hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to discuss the expected impact of Trump's second term and immigration policy on the commercial real estate market. "It has two different aspects to it," Nadji says, pointing to two big factors: the workforce housing renter and increased construction costs. "The workforce housing renter tends to have a very large migrant population. If the threats of deportation and so on really do play out at the scale that Donald Trump is talking about, that would affect a lot of gateway markets, [such as] Class B and [class] C apartment renters," the CEO adds. "And then on the other side of the equation, not just on the construction labor force, which would be affected, of course, but also when you hear things about tariffs and trade conflict with our trading partners, that affects supply, that affects lumber prices, that affects all kinds of aspects of new construction." Nadji notes the uncertainty still surrounding all of this: "What people say versus what they're able to actually execute are often two different things. So the market isn't panicking about that. Our clients certainly aren't overly concerned." To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Catalysts here. This post was written by Naomi Buchanan.

Why Toll Brothers' stock pressure is 'a temporary phenomenon'

Toll Brothers (TOL) reported fiscal fourth quarter earnings on Monday, surpassing estimates on both revenue and profit. Despite the positive results, the homebuilder missed its margin forecasts for the quarter, causing its stock to decline. Housing Research Center Senior Research Analyst Alex Barron joins Catalysts to discuss the results. "It seems like the builders can't do anything right," he tells Yahoo Finance, noting that even when companies outperform expectations, a single setback can trigger a stock price drop. However, Barron remains optimistic about Toll Brothers' long-term prospects, characterizing the current downturn as "a temporary phenomenon." Barron emphasized the company's strategic focus on affordable luxury and speculative homes as key factors that has continued to expand their market share.

2025 Housing outlook: How Trump's policies could impact affordability

High mortgage rates and low housing supply have led to affordability challenges in the US housing market. Wealth! Host Brad Smith speaks to Danielle Hale, Realtor.com's chief economist, about the outlook for the market in 2025 as President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Hale points to some proposals Trump offered on the campaign trail that could help address affordability: "The Trump campaign recognized very much that we don't have enough houses. Housing, as a result, is too expensive. And so we need to bolster supply in order to help improve affordability in the housing market." She mentions Americans remain in a waiting game until 2025 to see if these proposals become policy.

Mortgage rates dropping lower in 2025 depends on Fed's rate cuts

As mortgage rates trend lower ahead of the new year, Chase Home Lending's head of refinance and home equity, Nina Gidwaney, joins Alexandra Canal on Wealth! to break down what she expects from the housing market in 2025. "We hope that we'll see some relief in 2025. Of course, we can't predict where rates will go. I can tell you that if rates were to fall below 6%, about 4.7 million customers would become in the money for a refinance. And, of course, it would open up the purchase market and help prospective homebuyers get into the market. So we do hope that we'll see some additional rallying in [2025]," Gidwaney says. She explains, "Here's how we're thinking about it. Obviously, with the recent rallying in September and October and the Fed cutting their rate by about 50 basis points, that created some alleviation in the refinance rates and also purchase rates. We saw some good momentum in that period of time." "So, we would expect that as customers continue to get more comfortable with more elevated rates, that they may be willing to get out of the lock-in effect ... if they're sitting on an ultra-low rate, that they may be willing to trade that for a higher rate in order to be able to move and switch into a different home. That will then create more inventory and more opportunities for prospective homebuyers to get into the market."

One strategist's expectations for corporate bonds in 2025

With market dynamics appearing favorable for equities heading into 2025, Schwab Center for Financial Research fixed income strategist Collin Martin joins Seana Smith and Madison Mills on Catalysts to make the case for bonds. Martin says corporate bonds, which play an important role in a balanced portfolio, have "really attractive" yields at the moment. "We think it's important to focus on income and... [yields], where you get some volatility here and there, but from a big-picture standpoint, if you look at investment-grade corporate bonds... you can get average yields of around 5%." Martin also emphasizes current average yields because "if we go back relative to the past 15 years or so, we're still at attractive levels." The strategist adds that fixed income "plays a huge role for investors as they're approaching retirement, specifically, or they're in retirement, and given what we think is a relatively positive economic outlook, we're okay taking a little risk with corporate bonds. And we think they're a nice way to boost some income in your overall portfolios." Watch the video above for more from Martin on his bonds outlook ahead of 2025.
