Is the housing market stalling… or are we watching the early stages of a full housing market correction?
For the past few years, buyers have faced skyrocketing home prices, brutal mortgage rates, and bidding wars that felt impossible to win. But now? Listings are sitting longer. Price cuts are rising. Inventory is creeping up. So the big question is: Will home prices keep dropping?
In this video, we break down what’s really happening in the housing market right now. We’ll analyze inventory trends, buyer demand, interest rates, and what these signals could mean for both buyers and sellers. Is this a temporary pause, or is the housing market shifting into a deeper slowdown?
If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing, this is information you can’t afford to ignore. A stalling housing market creates opportunity for some… and risk for others. The key is understanding where we are in the cycle.

Washington built a century-long promise on one thing: no income tax. That promise is cracking—fast. In this episode, we break down what happened after the Washington Senate passed SB 6346 on February 16, 2026: a 9.9% tax on income over $1,000,000—sold as a “millionaire’s tax,” but designed in a way that can quietly expand into an everyone tax.
Here’s the part people are missing: the amendments tell the real story. Proposals to protect families, preserve charitable giving, remove the marriage penalty, allow standard loss carryforwards, and—most importantly—restore the public’s ability to challenge the bill via referendum were all rejected. Add the “emergency clause,” and you’ve got a path that limits voters’ options while the state moves faster than normal public process.
We’ll also cover why lawmakers are already worried about capital flight, how Washington’s estate tax is already triggering wealth relocation, and why stacking new taxes during an affordability crunch can hit working families through higher costs, weaker job growth, and shrinking investment.
If you live in Washington, this affects your paycheck, your housing costs, your business, and your future. Watch to the end for exactly how to track the House Finance Committee timeline and what you can do next.
