Equity-Rich and Rate-Locked: The HELOC Era is Here - EP 154
In this episode of the REconomy Podcast™, Chief Economist Mark Fleming and Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi dig into First American Data & Analytics’ inaugural Accessible Home Equity & Mortgage Rate Lock-In Trends Report. The conversation explores the conundrum many homeowners face: they’re equity rich, but rate locked-in, so how do they access that equity without giving up a pandemic-era low mortgage rate. HELOCs and other home equity borrowing options are attracting more interest, but today’s uptick in home equity borrowing looks very different from the run-up to the Global Financial Crisis.

Water, Power and Data Centers: Understanding the Demands on Infrastructure - EP 153
In this episode of the REconomy Podcast™, Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi and Principal Commercial Real Estate Economist Xander Snyder tackle two deceptively simple questions: how much water and electricity do data centers actually use? The conversation translates massive national figures into comparisons that are easier to grasp, explores why consumption varies so widely from one facility to the next and explains why peak power demand matters as much as annual usage for the communities and grids that host these projects.

The Silver Housing Handoff: How the Aging of America Will Reshape Housing Market by Market - EP 151
In this episode of the REconomy Podcast™, Chief Economist Mark Fleming and Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi explain the looming the silver housing handoff: how aging baby boomer homeowners may gradually release housing stock back into the market, who might absorb these homes, and why the answer could look very different depending on market. Ultimately, what many refer to as the ‘silver tsunami’ appears to be a more nuanced and measured trend that plays out very differently depending on the local demographic dynamics at play.
