2023 is Going to be a Problem and Here is How it Impacts You

Recently, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, an economic indicator that measures the change in value of U.S. single-family homes on a monthly basis, picked up the first month to month price drops. All of them were found in the West, in the metros of Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver and Portland. Normally, the index lags reality by approximately 4-6 months, but the numbers are telling.

In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied explore these results as well as more evidence backing up a significant decline in housing demand - as Chris has been suggesting for some time now.

Chris and Saied discuss the now unequivocal fact that people like Dave Ramsey and Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtors chief economist, were wrong in their assertions and predictions. They also review some of the interesting new data around new and existing home sales, and mortgage applications, all of which are going down.

They discuss an article from Fortune magazine saying that Goldman Sachs now forecasts the U.S. housing market downturn will be worse in 2023. They predict sharp drops this year in new home sales of 22%, existing home sales of 17%, and housing GDP of 8.9%.

They also discuss why many people seem to be clinging to the 'logical fallacy' of a growth recession - the idea that you can be in a recession and still have growth in the economy.

This is a show you do not want to miss! Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating conversation.

Enjoy!

Christopher Naghibi

Christopher M. Naghibi is the host and founder of The Higher Standard podcast — a rapidly growing media platform delivering unfiltered financial literacy, real-world entrepreneurship lessons and economic commentary for the modern era.

After nearly two decades in banking, including his most recent role as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of First Foundation Bank (NYSE: FFWM), Christopher stepped away from corporate life to build a brand rooted in truth, transparency, and modern money insights. While at First Foundation, he had executive oversight of credit, product development, depository services, retail banking, loan servicing, and commercial operations. His leadership helped scale the bank’s presence in multiple national markets from $0 to over $13 billion.

Christopher is a licensed attorney, real estate broker, and general building contractor (Class B), and he brings a rare blend of legal, operational and real estate expertise to everything he does. His early career spanned diverse lending platforms, including multifamily, commercial, private banking, and middle market lending — holding key roles at Impac Commercial Capital Corporation, U.S. Financial Services & Residential Realty, and First Fidelity Funding.

In addition to his media work, Christopher is the CEO of Black Crown Inc. and Black Crown Law APC, which oversee his private holdings and legal affairs.

He holds a Juris Doctorate from Trinity Law School, an MBA from American Heritage University, and two bachelor degrees. He is also a graduate of the Yale School of Management’s Global Executive Leadership Program.

A published author and sought-after speaker (unless it’s his son’s birthday), Christopher continues to advocate for financial empowerment. He’s worked pro bono with families in need, helped craft affordable housing programs through Habitat for Humanity, and was a founding board member of She Built This City — helping spark interest in construction and trades for women of all ages.
