    What Will a Second Trump Presidency Mean for U.S. Housing?

    As the U.S. looks ahead to Donald Trump once again taking office in January, the real estate and housing industry is watching closely. Given Trump’s previous term and recent rhetoric on the campaign trail, when the president-elect returns to the White House on January 20, the property market landscape could shift dramatically. A Trump administration has historically leaned toward deregulation, favoring less federal oversight. This could mean a rollback of initiatives championed by the previous Biden administration and could spell major changes for property professionals, particularly in areas like climate policy, housing affordability, and regulatory reform. From regulatory rollbacks to bipartisan debates over zoning, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith and Chay Halbert, a principal public policy and industry relations at CoreLogic, discuss the likely rollback of Biden-era climate initiatives, shifts in regulatory scrutiny, and the potential changes surrounding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac oversight. Halbert also sheds light on potential flood risk management alterations and how these moves could reshape lending and affordability across the country. Tune in to this episode of Core Conversations hear a comprehensive breakdown of the policy changes that property professionals should watch for as they prepare for what lies ahead. In This Episode2:24 – What types of housing policies do we expect Donald Trump to favor? 3:50 – Are there any specific changes we can expect around climate policy? 4:58 – Will there be any changes to Biden-era policies? 8:34 – How will the new administration influence interest rates? 10:32 – Affordability is complex, but will the rules around institutional and foreign investment change to help with this? 11:52 – Will there be any international ramifications from these possible policy changes? 13:43 – Erika Stanley does the numbers in the housing market in The Sip. 14:57 – How could federal policy changes affect local jurisdictions? 19:40 – Erika Stanley reviews natural catastrophes and extreme weather events across the world. 20:58 – What should property professionals pay attention to in the months leading up to an administration change?

    Geospatial Data: Superpowering AI Infrastructure Planning

    Over the next few years, it's estimated that nearly a trillion dollars will be spent on data centers, semiconductors, and power grid upgrades. And this is all just to meet the growing computational needs of AI technologies. In fact, industry estimates suggest that global data center capacity could double by 2030, but this growth is far from straightforward. As AI technologies like generative AI continue to expand, the infrastructure needed to support them is growing at an unprecedented rate. However, data centers cannot just be built anywhere. Placement of new data centers isn’t just about finding enough land — it’s about balancing proximity to power plants, high-capacity transmission lines, and broadband infrastructure, while also considering environmental factors. Location intelligence plays a pivotal role in this expansion. In this episode of Core Conversations, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith and Joe Francica, Principal Product Manager in CoreLogic’s Location Intelligence Group discuss how geospatial tools can help mitigate some of these risks by identifying locations that are less vulnerable to natural hazards while also balancing the need for power and broadband access. As AI continues to evolve and the demand for data centers grows, having access to detailed geospatial data will give companies a strategic advantage in making informed, forward-looking decisions. In This Episode:2:11 – How much data center capacity will AI technologies (and their power consumption) require? 4:49 – Why is AI consuming so much energy? 8:55 – Which energy sources are data centers using and where are they generally located? 9:31 – How does the availability of broadband play into the equation? 10:40 – How does climate resilience come into play when looking for optimal locations of data centers? 13:04 – how is proximity to an electrical grid or transmission facility part of the equation? 14:29 – Erika Stanley does the numbers in the housing market in The Sip. 15:40 – How are all the variables for optimum data center placement weighted. Is there a hierarchy of importance? 16:42 – Where is the optimal place in the U.S. for data centers? 20:05 – Erika Stanley reviews natural catastrophes and extreme weather events across the world. 20:59 – Where is AI is going to take us in terms of the demand for the data centers, and what do companies that are trying to get ahead of the curve need to think about?

    Do Appraisers Have What It Takes to Value Short-Term Rentals?

    As cities across the country grapple with the rise of platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, the implications for the property industry are becoming more complex. How do you accurately value a property that doubles as a business? What happens when local regulations change? Despite the lingering questions in the industry, the rising demand for vacation homes and the allure of short-term rental platforms have carved out a significant niche in the market. However, their increasing popularity brings new challenges, particularly for appraisers, lenders, and underwriters who must navigate the complexities of valuing these unique assets. As housing affordability concerns grow and the U.S. faces a persistent housing shortage, some communities are clamping down on short-term rentals and imposing stricter regulations. Yet, despite these restrictions, short-term rentals are far from disappearing. Instead, they’re evolving, requiring a fresh approach to property valuation that considers not just the physical attributes of a home, but its potential as a revenue-generating business. In This Episode: 2:19 – Why are short-term rentals (STR) currently a hot topic in the appraiser industry? 3:38 – Why does the business aspect of an STR make it unique for valuation? 8:34 – What happens when an owner-occupied property is turned into a STR?
