Housing Market Trends and Data Insights with Lance Lambert

Episode Overview
In this episode of The Land Development Podcast, host Ryan Glick, alongside co-host Charles Covey, sits down with Lance Lambert, co-founder and editor-in-chief of ResiClub. With a background in both journalism and data analytics, Lance shares his journey from Bloomberg and Realtor.com to launching his own platform that makes housing data accessible and visual.
We explore how the housing market is shifting out of the post-pandemic boom, with active inventory rising across most of the country. Lance explains how this gives buyers more leverage, and why different regions are reacting in unique ways. He highlights Austin as an example of a sharp demand shock due to affordability pressures and strong new construction activity. On the flip side, markets in the Northeast and Midwest remain tighter due to lower builder activity and fewer homeowners moving.
The conversation also covers the role of institutional investors. Although they own a small portion of homes, their activity increased during the pandemic and had downstream effects on demand and pricing. Lance offers a clear view on how market forces like interest rates and investor behavior are shaping trends.
Finally, the episode dives into build-to-rent communities. Lance and Charles agree this is a growing asset class with long-term potential, especially as buyers face affordability issues. With new completions slowing down, rental supply may tighten again, boosting rents in coming years. Whether you’re in homebuilding, land development, or real estate investing, this episode offers valuable insights grounded in clear, actionable data.
