Americans from every generation still believe that owning their home is one the greatest investments they will make and a key component of realizing their own version of the 'American Dream'. But rising prices and tighter supply have made that dream less of a reality for many. Angie Hicks, the founder of Angi and one of the country's leading real estate luminaries, explains how to find value and quality in today's market, and how to properly maintain that important and emotional financial asset once you own it. Plus, volatility is continuing to wear its September best as the stock market rallied last week to recover all of the losses from the prior week. As the Fed prepares to lower interest rates this week, expect the choppiness to continue.
