The presidential election is coming up, and there could be big consequences for the housing market and home prices. During every presidential election year, homebuyer and seller psychology begins to change. With a potential shift in administration, new policies being put into place, and an overall hesitancy to make big moves, now could be the chance for you to buy before housing heats up. But what does the data say?

Dave Meyer, VP of Market Intelligence at BiggerPockets, and Zach Lemaster, founder & CEO of Rent To Retirement, are digging into the past eight election cycles to see what happens to the housing market in each. We’ll be going through the most important metrics for real estate investors to track: home prices, rent growth, interest rates, population growth, and more. Surprisingly, many of these factors move in the exact same way during presidential election years and could point to another similar change in 2024.

So, what could the 2024 presidential election bring to the housing market? Are we in store for lower rates and higher home prices? Or will this year be the anomaly? Let us know in the comments below!
