Listen as Ryan Berlin (Head Economist and VP Intelligence) and Will Ye (US Market Analyst) discuss the first-ever Seattle rennie landscape—our semi-annual report that examines everything impacting residential real estate. While US labor markets remain resilient, household debt levels modest, and population growth strong, rising trade tensions pose risks for inflation, bond markets, and, by extension, the housing market. It’s a conversation that separates signal from noise—and gets to the heart of what’s driving Seattle’s housing scene.

Featured guests:

Ryan Berlin, Head Economist and Vice President of Intelligence

William Ye, US Market Intelligence Analyst
