America’s housing market is entering its Twilight Zone moment—and financial strategist John Grace is the rare voice willing to say it out loud, in plain English, for your viewers.

You’re already covering high home prices and stubborn mortgage rates—but a new twist just hit the housing story.

Fresh forecasts now show home prices are expected to fall next year in at least 22 major U.S. cities, even as many homeowners still insist “this time is different.” At the same time, new reporting highlights nearly 15 million vacant homes across America and a looming “silver tsunami” as Baby Boomers begin turning 80 and eventually have to sell or leave their homes.

Financial strategist John Grace says those three forces—price dips, empty houses, and aging owners—are the early signs that America’s “can’t‑lose” housing market is entering its Twilight Zone moment.

In a fast, visual 3–5 minute segment, John can:

  • Show viewers a simple Zillow exercise: compare today’s value to 10 years ago and explain why bubbles often revert toward where they started.
  • Connect today’s vacancy and “silver tsunami” headlines to what happens when millions of homes quietly move from long‑time owners to a smaller pool of younger, heavily indebted buyers.
  • Spell out what a 20–50% drop would actually mean for families’ equity, retirement plans, and inheritance—and what practical steps they can take now to reduce risk without panic.
John is Founder and President of Investors Advantage Corp. (est. 1979) and has been recognized among the Top 200 Most Influential Leaders by the Los Angeles/Valley Business Journal. He and his team warned clients about vulnerabilities in both stocks and real estate ahead of the Financial Crisis, and he’s known for making complex market history feel like an everyday conversation, not a lecture.

This fits perfectly into your personal finance / consumer block as:

  • “Is Your House Really ‘Bubble‑Proof’?”
  • “From Shortage to Surplus? What 22 Cities’ Price Drops Mean for You”

John is available for in‑studio or remote and can tailor the tone from calm, practical guidance to a sharper contrarian debate, depending on your needs.

Hope to hear from you.
