I’m Mason Monroe, a retired real estate agent and longtime observer of the American housing market. I spent more than 30 years working in residential real estate, helping people buy and sell everything from small starter homes to properties their owners had lived in for most of their adult lives. That gives me a slightly unusual perspective on housing today. I remember what people earned, what houses cost, what buyers worried about, and which problems we assumed were temporary. Some disappeared. Others became much bigger. Writing for HomeStatsReport.com started as a hobby and quickly became my way of making sense of the numbers I spent most of my career watching in real life.
