Home prices were supposed to crash…right? Not quite. If you were hoping to snag a steal of a deal on your first home, we’ve got some bad news. But, if you’re a homeowner or investor who was crossing their fingers that their equity would stay stable, things are looking good! As the housing market begins to “adjust” back to normal, investors are asking themselves, “What happens next?”
We brought repeat guest and fan-favorite Rick Sharga, founder of CJ Patrick Company and former EVP of Market Intelligence at ATTOM, back on the show to share the findings of his most recent investor survey. Rick and his company have been tracking the sentiment of small retail investors—a dataset we rarely get to hear about—and he has some news to share.
Investors are thinking about the housing market differently than most would assume. With high mortgage rates and financing fatigue, rental property investors and active house flippers have the same thought: things could get better soon. But what could change? Will inventory ever rebound? And what could cause another hot housing market? All that, and more, in this episode!

Hey everyone. Welcome to On the Market. I am your host, Dave Meyer. And today, we are bringing back one of our most popular guests of all time, Rick Sharga, who is the founder and CEO, CJ Patrick Company. He was formerly the EVP of market intelligence at ATTOM.
If you’ve been listening to this show or you’re listening to the Bigger News section on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Show, you’ve probably heard Rick a few times because he is a incredible analyst and knows the housing market as good as truly anyone that I’ve ever met.
And as part of his new company, he and RCN Capital, you may remember the name of that company because we had their CEO, Tim Herriage on the other day, they produced a new survey that tracks the sentiment of real estate investors. And these are typically smaller real estate investors, retail investors like you and me….
