  Congress Says It Fixed Housing. It Didn't (What Washington Homeowners Need to Know)

  Aug 26, 202639 minS3

  Congress Says It Fixed Housing. It Didn't (What Washington Homeowners Need to Know): Congress just passed the 21st Century Road to Housing Act with a stunning 85-5 Senate vote and bipartisan applause. Every headline said the same thing: Washington finally did something about housing. But here's what nobody is telling you — this bill will do almost nothing for home prices in Washington State, and the reason isn't politics. It's math. In this episode, real estate insider Anton Stettner (investing in Washington State real estate since 2003) breaks down exactly why the federal government can only offer "carrots," not "sticks" — and why Washington's cities have already proven they'll take the money and do nothing. You'll see the real numbers behind permit timelines, fees, and red tape that account for roughly 30% of the cost of a home in Washington State — nearly $300,000 per home in King County alone. We dig into the Growth Management Act, the Housing Supply Frameworks Act, and why the state needs over 1,000,000 new homes by 2044 while bureaucracy actively slows construction down. If you're buying, selling, building, or just trying to understand why rent and home prices keep climbing in Washington, this is the breakdown the mainstream media isn't giving you. Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a breakdown like this. Share this with someone who's frustrated with the Washington housing market. About the Show Welcome to the Anton Stetner Podcast, where we break down real estate, economics, investing, housing policy, and the trends shaping the future of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Whether you're a homebuyer, investor, business owner, or simply trying to make sense of today's economy, you'll find practical insights, market analysis, and conversations with industry experts designed to help you make smarter financial decisions.

  U.S. Home Buyers at the Lowest Level Ever (Worst Than 1929 & 2008???)

  Aug 23, 202643 minS3

  This week we're reacting to a viral Instagram post claiming U.S. homebuyers have fallen to their lowest level ever — supposedly worse than 1929 and worse than 2008. We dig into where that headline actually came from (Redfin, now owned by Rocket Mortgage), what the real numbers say, and why comparing today's market to the Great Depression or the Great Financial Crisis doesn't hold up once you look at population growth, lending standards, and foreclosure rates. From there we get into what's actually happening on the ground in Washington State: falling prices in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties, wages outpacing home prices for the first time in history, and real conversations we're having with sellers and investors right now — including a new-construction buyer negotiating a 4.99% rate and 4% commission, and an investor closing on a multifamily deal at a 6.7 cap. We also break down the bigger economic picture shaping the rest of 2026: the U.S. national debt crossing $40 trillion, how the ongoing conflict with Iran is pushing oil prices and inflation higher, new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish turn, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's move to buy back long-term bonds. We close with our honest rate predictions for the rest of the year and what it means if you're thinking about buying, selling, or investing. Got questions about your own situation?

  Seattle is attacking the people who keep it alive.

  Aug 19, 20261h 10mS3

  Seattle is punishing the exact people it needs to survive — housing providers, small business owners, builders, and workers — and this week we follow the money to show exactly how. We break down the JumpStart payroll tax from the inside: what it promised back in 2020, what it actually raised, and the uncomfortable fact that roughly 70% of its revenue now comes from just ten companies — companies that can quietly relocate jobs across the lake to Bellevue without ever holding a press conference. The numbers: downtown office vacancy at 35.6%, a net loss of 13,000 jobs last year, assessed office values down 48% while Bellevue's rose 7%, and a $488 million budget hole over the next three years. New Mayor Katie Wilson — one of the architects of JumpStart — says "nothing is off the table" on raising it further. We also cover Seattle's new rental junk fee ban and what it actually does (and doesn't do), the Police Chief Barnes resignation, the recall filing against Wilson, and the property tax chain that connects an empty office tower directly to your monthly rent. This isn't a takedown — we steelman the other side and lay out concrete fixes before the next tax hike lands. If you rent, own, or operate in Seattle, this is the episode to hear.

  The Secret Reason Washington State Is Getting So Expensive

  Aug 9, 202656 minS3

  Feel like everything in Washington is getting more expensive? You're not imagining it. In this episode, real estate broker and small business owner Anton Stetner reveals the hidden force driving up your cost of living: the Washington State Supreme Court. This November, 5 of the 9 seats on the Washington State Supreme Court are up for election — the biggest judicial election in a generation. Anton breaks down how the Court already ruled that capital gains are NOT your income, why Washington has the 3rd-highest gas prices in the nation, how one gun-rights case could reshape the 2nd Amendment here, and why 400,000 Washingtonians skipped voting on these races entirely last cycle. We dig into "forum risk" — the hidden cost every business, builder, and family pays when they don't know which way the court will rule next. That risk is already baked into your rent, your gas, and your grocery cart. If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review — it helps more than you know. Want to talk real estate or investing?

  The Problem with Washington State Government That Could Break Real Estate

  Aug 2, 20261h 3mS3

  Washington just passed something voters rejected for nearly a century — a 9.9% income tax on households earning over $1 million. And here's the part almost nobody caught: you can't overturn it by referendum. The legislature wrote a clause into the law that blocks that path, and the state Supreme Court backed it up. In this episode, Anton and Benji follow the money from the State Capitol all the way down to your neighborhood listing. They dig into the $77.8 billion state operating budget (up from $33 billion just 13 years ago), the millionaire tax's real mechanics, and who's actually funding both sides of the fight — including the public-sector unions spending millions to defend a tax that funds their own paychecks. They also break down: Why five Washington Supreme Court seats on the November ballot could decide the tax's constitutionality before the court even rules The lawsuits over the 15-word ballot disclosure statement, and who's suing whom Real data on capital flight — who's actually leaving, and what it means for luxury real estate Why Seattle's real estate market is bifurcating, with luxury listings and sales exploding while the middle market cools Comments from former Governor Christine Gregoire and Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke — both lifelong Democrats — warning about a "spending problem" What all of this means for buyers, sellers, and investors heading into November 2026 and January 2028 This is not a "how to vote" episode. It's the facts, the numbers, and the sources — so you walk into the ballot box informed.
