Compass CEO Reveals His Housing Market Outlook

On today’s Hot Sheet, Byron Lazine breaks down HousingWire’s latest weekly housing data showing the market is still posting modest year-over-year gains, even as higher mortgage rates begin to slow demand. He also covers Compass CEO Robert Reffkin’s interview with Fox Business, where he argues the housing market has likely passed its bottom and existing home sales are poised to improve in 2026, before reviewing U.S. Census Bureau data showing new home sales rose 1.6% in June from May but remained 5.6% below year-ago levels.
