Steven Swidler, Walter E. Hanson/KPMG Professor of Business and Finance, was quoted in a March 3 report on WLVR, the Lehigh Valley’s NPR affiliate, about rising real estate prices and financial matters to consider before entering the housing market.
Swidler, whose research interests include real estate finance, cautioned buyers looking to make a profit in real estate to consider other investments before going “all in” on the housing market. There are still good financial reasons for some people to include real estate in their investment portfolios, but it’s not necessarily for everyone, he said in the report.
