Greg Sher sits down with Mike Simonsen, Chief Economist at Compass and founder of Altos Research, for an in-depth discussion on the state of today's housing market.

They explore the housing shortage debate, inventory trends, Florida's surprising market turnaround, mortgage rate lock-in, migration patterns, affordability challenges, and the economic signals that could shape housing's next chapter.
