I’m hosting an AMA today at 1:30pm PT in r/USHousingMarket to answer questions about the spring homebuying season and the current housing market.

I’ll be answering about:

• Home prices and where they might be headed
• Mortgage rates and what could happen next
• Housing inventory this spring
• First-time buyers and affordability
• Regional housing market trends across the U.S.

Head over to ask your questions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/USHousingMarket/comments/1so8jws/ama_im_daryl_fairweather_chief_economist_redfin/

Thank you, and see you there!

I’m Daryl Fairweather, Chief Economist at Redfin, and I’ll be hosting an AMA in r/USHousingMarket. 

I lead economic research on the U.S. housing market and spend most of my time analyzing trends in home prices, mortgage rates, inventory, and buyer demand. I also help explain what those trends mean for homebuyers, sellers, Redfin agents, and the media (CNBC, Bloomberg, and others).

With the spring homebuying season getting underway, I’m here to answer your questions about what’s happening in the U.S. housing market right now and where things might be headed.

If you’ve been wondering whether now is a good time to buy, how the market might shift this year, or what broader economic trends could affect housing, feel free to ask. I’m looking forward to discussing home prices, mortgage rates, housing inventory, affordability, market outlook, buyer demand, and regional trends–AMA!
