Good afternoon —   With the steep increase in home-price appreciation this year, we get a lot of questions about the possibility of a housing bubble or whether now is a good time to buy/sell. Often these concerns are stoked by news articles with somewhat inflammatory headlines. That's why we're happy to have Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami break down housing economics in a way that's easy to understand.   Mohtashami's latest article explores whether the Fed is creating a housing bubble by maintaining low rates. He takes a nuanced look at whether homeowners who bought in the last six months are going to lose equity as the market cools a bit and the three conditions that could contribute to a large-scale loss of equity.   Speaking of Mohtashami, he is going to be speaking at our HW Annual event in Dallas on Sept. 27-28! He's going to deliver his housing forecast and answer audience questions. He'll also be available at a meet and greet right after he speaks if you have more specific questions.   And Mohtashami is just one of the many incredible speakers we have lined up. Cybersecurity expert Selim Aissi, formerly CISO at ICE/Ellie Mae, Tim Mayopoulos, Blend president and former Fannie Mae CEO, Laura Brandao, president of American Financial Resources, Chris Kelly, president and CEO of the Ebby Halliday Companies, and so many more are going to bring their unique insights to our event.   Find out more here and sign up to HW+ here to get a discounted rate.
