Now streaming: The Builder’s View. 🎙️ Join First American economists Mark Fleming and Odeta Kushi as they break down the trends, data, and market dynamics shaping the future of homebuilding. Give Episode 1 a listen!
Last week, this idea was still under construction. Today, we’re officially opening the doors to The Builder’s View. After asking our audience if they wanted to see a new housing market series featuring Mark Fleming and Odeta Kushi, 100% of respondents said yes. So, we figured this was probably a good idea. This new podcast from First American Title’s Homebuilder Services division brings together First American Chief Economist Mark Fleming and Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi for sharper, more data-driven conversations about the forces reshaping residential construction and development. In Episode 1, Mark and Odeta unpack why new construction continues to outperform resale housing, what’s really happening beneath the surface of inventory data, and how builders are adapting to a market defined by elevated mortgage rates, affordability pressure, and slower growth. And this is just the beginning. Future episodes will bring in industry experts from across the housing ecosystem to explore the trends, risks, and structural shifts shaping the next era of homebuilding.
