FAF - First American's The REconomy Podcast(TM) Reaches 50th Episode Milestone
—Launched in 2020, The REconomy Podcast delivers easy-to-understand expert insight and perspective on the forces shaping the housing market from First American’s economics team—
First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF) , a premier provider of title, settlement and risk solutions for real estate transactions and the leader in the digital transformation of its industry, today published the 50 th episode of The REconomy Podcast ™, reaching the milestone just over two years after it was launched. Designed to deliver economic insights for real estate professionals and anyone interested in real estate, housing, affordability and related economic issues in under 15 minutes an episode, the REconomy Podcast’s audience continues to grow, with average first-week downloads ranking among the top 10% of podcasts, according to industry statistics from Buzzsprout.
The podcast is hosted by First American Chief Economist Mark Fleming and Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi, whose data-driven insights into the dynamics shaping the housing market are frequently quoted in national news and industry trade media outlets.
“The housing market is often the topic of casual conversations among family and friends, so there’s strong interest in how economic forces and demographic trends influence housing demand,” said Fleming. “Broadening the understanding of the housing market in a fun, engaging way helps home buyers and sellers, as well as real estate and mortgage finance professionals, better understand where the housing market is headed and that benefits everyone.”

- Why Rent Growth Has Likely Peaked and What that Means for the Housing Market
