Today is a big day! One year ago, HousingWire launched a new podcast, HousingWire Daily, and at some point overnight we hit 100,000 downloads. That is a huge milestone for podcasts — most don't ever get past several thousand. Many of you have been guests on that podcast, sharing your insights on news topics or offering your opinion on controversial issues. Thank you for listening and contributing to a conversation that we hope has been a valuable part of how you get your news.
About a year ago we also launched HW+ — a premium content service where members get access to articles and events created to give them a competitive edge, whether they work in real estate, mortgage, fintech or government. We've hired some of the sharpest journalists in the space to deliver news nowhere else, and we're thrilled to see the response we've had!!
Most of our content remains in front of the paywall, as we want to remain the digital "newspaper of record" for the housing ecosystem. But if you're looking for the next level of enterprising and investigative reporting to find out what you need to compete and win in this current environment, there is no better place than HW+! Here are just some of our recent articles/panels:

We're very excited to bring Logan's insights to our HW+ audience, whether through his articles, podcasts or events.
