Rocket Companies CEO: Here’s How to Fix the Housing Crisis
Housing affordability reflects both restricted supply and asset inflation, as the median buyer age rose from 30 in 2010 to 38 today while cash wages lag appreciating equities and homes.Rocket’s Redfin and Mr. Cooper acquisitions aim to connect search, origination, servicing, and home equity into a countercyclical “lender for life,” with integration and construction capacity the key risks to monitor.
