With a rapidly changing housing market and soaring mortgage rates, many people are questioning if now is the right time to buy. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow explore that question by dissecting today’s housing climate and weighing in on the factors you need to consider before buying a home. Then, they talk to Jessica Lautz, deputy chief economist and vice president of research at the National Association of Realtors, about new and existing home sales, home builder trends and predictions for the second half of the year.



Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth radio show and podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners. That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses. The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).

This show is pre-recorded, and any callers are prescreened.
