Why National Housing Policy Doesn’t Fix Your Market

Описание: Are you tired of hearing national housing debates that don’t match what’s happening in your neighborhood?

Are politicians blaming investors, immigrants, or “the government” — while your local market keeps doing its own thing?

In this episode, Seth continues the housing policy conversation and breaks down a hard truth: real estate is local. National slogans don’t fix local inventory shortages, tax structures, zoning issues, or school district dynamics.

Using the Philadelphia suburbs as an example, he explains how neighboring counties can have completely different challenges — even within the same metro area. What works in one township may fail in the next.

He also challenges common narratives:

Are immigrants really outbidding everyone?

Are “investors” the real problem?

Do government programs create affordability — or just more buyers?

Seth dives into the difference between boosting demand and increasing supply, and why creating more homes is the only long-term solution. He also reframes what “affordable housing” really means — not just subsidized units, but access to ownership and long-term wealth building.

Plus, he shares a local development example involving vacant corporate parks, potential housing conversions, and the ripple effects on schools, traffic, and municipal services — proving why agents must understand what’s happening right here, right now.

National stats sound impressive.
Local insight wins deals.
