The housing market correction is well underway, but the story looks very different depending on where you invest. Some markets are cooling gently, others are slipping faster, and a few affordability outliers are still holding up. With new Zillow data in hand, Dave breaks down the major regional patterns, why price growth is slowing almost everywhere, and what today’s shifts actually mean for investors buying at the end of 2025 and into 2026.
He also looks at markets that may be “oversold” despite strong fundamentals, the places where buyers suddenly have serious leverage, and how rents are diverging sharply from home prices in some metros. We’ll even take a look at the data to see where corrections may continue.
So, where should you buy? If you want killer deals, are these “oversold” markets prime places for rental property investing, or could they fall even further?
