Newsmakers at Noon – Real Estate Insights – Lending, Inventory & Today’s Housing Market 3/10/26

Posted on March 10, 2026

On today’s Newsmakers at Noon, Denise and Hunter welcome Amy McLeod of The McLeod Group at Keller Williams Real Estate and Elizabeth Smith of The Smith Mortgage Group for a practical look at what’s happening in today’s housing market.

Elizabeth breaks down the pros and cons of “1-800 lenders”, explaining when large national lenders can be helpful and when working with a local mortgage professional may offer advantages for buyers navigating financing.

Amy and Elizabeth also tackle one of the biggest questions people are asking right now: Will the housing market crash? The discussion explores current economic signals, interest rates, and why today’s market conditions are very different from past housing downturns.

The conversation then turns to housing inventory, what buyers and sellers should know about supply in the market, and how that impacts pricing and competition. They wrap up with guidance for homeowners asking the big question: How long will it take to sell my house in today’s market?

A helpful, informative episode designed to give buyers and sellers clear insight into financing, market trends, and real-world real estate strategy.
