Podcasts about buying a house

Here's what not to do when buying a house! Today we explore my experience with buying a home. We also talk about what it means to be "anti-fragile" in markets that look stable but are actually full of hidden risks. We unpack why markets feel eerily calm despite cracks under the surface, point to red flags like rising margin debt and overvalued equities, and question the rosy government data that doesn't match what businesses are actually seeing. We also touch on the Fed's latest rate hold, the performative nature of their messaging, and why Japan might be the next weak link in the global system. We discuss... We talk about how fragile markets can appear strong but collapse under pressure, while anti-fragile strategies are built to withstand shocks. There's growing skepticism around official data on inflation, unemployment, and job growth, which often don't match real-world experiences. We flag early warning signs like record-high margin debt and stretched market valuations that suggest hidden fragility. The Buffett Indicator is flashing red, pointing to historically high levels of overvaluation. We discuss how investors often chase all-time highs without considering the risks beneath the surface. The Fed paused interest rate hikes again, but its messaging feels more performative than predictive. Government job growth is outpacing private sector job growth, raising questions about the true health of the economy. Markets are euphoric about all-time highs, but this sentiment overlooks growing risks and valuation distortions. There's a widespread misunderstanding of the difference between correlation and causation in market data and recessions. Long-term market growth trends can be distorted by short-term performance comparisons, leading to misleading “chart crimes.” Used car prices remain high, partly due to ongoing shortages and strong demand, especially for 2–3-year-old vehicles. Housing affordability has worsened dramatically, with mortgage costs far outpacing rent, making ownership financially unappealing. Personal experience with deceptive sellers reflects broader issues in the housing market's transparency and ethics. As interest rates fall, more inventory may hit the housing market, but price drops are likely in many regions. Homeownership is a personal expense, not an investment, due to ongoing maintenance, taxes, and volatility. Homeownership comes with hidden costs and liabilities that are often underestimated by buyers. The financial burden of owning—repairs, maintenance, interest—can reduce or erase the perceived gains over time.

Stacked contingencies are now standard. We'll show you how these layers interact, which timelines are most critical, and how to keep your contract on track. Are you planning to buy or sell a home right now in Minnesota? You need to understand how contingencies work. Low inventory has made real estate more competitive, but it has also made transactions more complex. With fewer homes on the market, both buyers and sellers want more protection before they commit. That is where contingencies come in, and they are showing up in almost every deal we manage. Let's walk through the most common contingencies we see and what they mean for your transaction: We always expect a financing contingency. Unless a buyer is paying all cash, the offer will likely include a financing contingency. This protects the buyer if their loan is not approved. If financing falls through and the deal does not close, the buyer may be able to walk away without losing their earnest money, as long as the contingency is still active. Inspection contingency comes with strict deadlines. Most buyers include an inspection contingency, which gives time to complete a home inspection and request repairs. This contingency has specific deadlines, and missing them can result in lost negotiation power or forfeited earnest money. We make sure our clients stay ahead of these timelines. HOA properties include a 10-day right of rescission. In Minnesota, if the home is part of a homeowners association, buyers receive a 10-day right of rescission. This gives them time to review all HOA documents and cancel the contract if needed. It is a legal protection that cannot be waived. “Today's real estate market is more complex due to stacked, overlapping contingencies.” Home sale contingencies must be removed correctly. A home sale contingency means the buyer must sell their current home before buying the next one. This must be clearly stated in the purchase agreement and removed correctly. Simply saying, “I am no longer contingent” is not enough. If a seller gets a backup offer, they are not required to wait. They can move forward with the new buyer unless the original contingency is officially removed. Contingencies run at the same time. Many people assume that contingencies happen in order, but they do not. Most run concurrently. That means the buyer still needs to complete their inspection even if their current home has not sold. This overlap adds pressure and makes coordination essential. Sellers can include a buyer contingency. We are also seeing more seller-side contingencies. A seller may not agree to close unless they find a new home first. This is called a buyer contingency, and it protects the seller from being left without a place to go. It is one more layer we help manage.This market is fast-moving and full of contract requirements. If you are not clear on how contingencies work, you risk losing your deal or deposit. We are here to make sure that does not happen. If you have questions or need help with your next move, feel free to call or text us at 952-212-3597 or email us at ChadandSara@edinarealty.com. We are ready to walk you through every step with clarity and confidence.

Average days on market don't tell the full story, and the answer depends on your strategy. Pricing, preparation, and marketing can make all the difference. Many homeowners are wondering how long it will take to sell, and the truth is, it depends on how you prep, price, and position your home. I've seen homes sit for months and others sell in just a few days, and the difference that I've seen so far is their strategy. Just last month, I worked with a seller whose home had been listed for over 90 days with another agent. I made a few strategic adjustments, revised the pricing, and within 10 days, it was under contract. That experience was a clear reminder that timing is essential, but preparation makes all the difference. If you're planning to sell this summer, here's what you need to know so you can move forward with clarity and confidence: Summer market speed varies. Most homes are going under contract within 15 to 45 days. However, these averages don't tell the whole story. Homes that are well-presented and priced correctly can sell in a weekend, while those that are overpriced or in need of work often stay on the market longer. It's not just about when you list but about how you show up. Buyers are motivated, but they expect value for their money. There are plenty of motivated buyers out there, especially families trying to relocate before the start of the school year. But with interest rates still high, they have become more selective. They want homes that feel worth the investment, such as clean and move-in-ready properties. These listings tend to attract more interest and better offers, which is why they often don't stay listed for long. If your home feels like a project, be prepared for slower traffic and more negotiation. Your timing should align with your goals. If you're planning to sell and buy, timing the sale correctly can make a big financial difference. Listing at the right moment and negotiating the proper timeline helps ensure you don't end up scrambling to find your next home or carrying two mortgages. “A successful home sale depends on how well you prep, price, and plan ahead.” What does this mean for you if you're getting ready to sell? Here's a step-by-step approach to help you prepare strategically and move forward with clarity. Step 1: Understand the local timeline. In most areas, the average sale timeline is 15 to 45 days from listing to contract. But again, that's just an average. The real timing for your home depends on your price, how well it's presented, and the demand in your specific neighborhood. Some homes sell in a weekend, while others need a few extra weeks of polish and pricing strategy to attract the right buyer. Step 2: Prepare like a pro. Today's buyers want clean, simple, and move-in-ready. To sell quickly and for top dollar, you want your home to feel inviting and well-maintained. That might mean decluttering, professional cleaning, a few cosmetic updates, or even light staging. Combine that with smart pricing, and you'll likely see faster results, especially in summer when buyer urgency is high but selectivity is even higher. Step 3: Align your sale with your bigger goals. Selling a home isn't just about getting to the closing table. It's about where you're headed next. If you're buying another home, relocating, or downsizing, we'll put together a clear plan that keeps things moving on your timeline. That includes everything from listing and showings to negotiations and closing dates. Selling your home this summer comes down to having the right strategy in place. The market is active, but buyers are more discerning, which means your success depends on how well you prepare, price, and present your home. From understanding local timelines to making your home show-ready and aligning your sale with your next steps, each decision plays a role in how quickly and smoothly your home sells. With the right approach, you can attract motivated buyers, avoid unnecessary delays, and move forward with confidence. If you have any questions about selling your home, feel free to reach out. I'll provide you with a free estimate of your home's market value, the timeline required, and valuable insights to help you make the best decision for your next move.

The rate of affordability for homes has now reached a new high. Couples now who earn a combined salary of one hundred thousand euro are unable to afford to buy homes across Dublin and commuter counties. So, will the average working couple continue to be priced out? Karl Deeter, from Irish Mortgage Brokers joined Pat Kenny on the show.

From rising inventory to hyper-local trends, the summer market is changing fast. This summer's housing market feels like a riddle—prices are up, but competition is down. Mortgage rates dip, then spike, leaving buyers and sellers wondering: Is now the right time to move? The answer? It depends on what you know. Let's break down the chaos and uncover the smartest strategies for navigating today's unpredictable market. Recently, we met with a client who shared the same sentiment. They were considering listing their home but worried the market might be too unpredictable. Like many others, they didn't want to risk missing the right timing. We reviewed up-to-date local market data, including sales trends, inventory levels, and buyer behavior. That gave them the clarity they needed. Their home went live, and within a few days, it had multiple offers. This summer, timing, preparation, and strategy matter more than ever. Whether you're buying or selling, here are three real estate market trends you need to know: 1. Mortgage rates are dipping slightly. Mortgage rates are currently hovering around 6.8% to 7.1%, slightly lower than earlier this year, but still higher than pre-pandemic levels. Rates have dipped slightly, but for buyers, it's still not enough to address affordability concerns. Monthly payments are still high, so many are turning to rate buydowns or adjustable-rate loans just to make the numbers work. Pre-approval's a start, but you'll need a real plan to stay within budget. This shift also matters for sellers. With picky buyers due to limited budgets, you need to price your home right. Offering incentives, such as covering closing costs, can make a significant difference. “This summer's housing market is all about being informed and strategic.” 2. Not all markets are created equal. The market isn't moving the same way everywhere. Some cities are experiencing price increases of up to 9.4%, while others are seeing a slight cooling off. That's why it's crucial to examine what's happening in your neighborhood. Cooling prices in certain areas could provide homebuyers with a rare opportunity. However, in high-demand neighborhoods, competition remains tough, especially where jobs are growing or new construction is limited. If you're a seller, those same hot spots could work in your favor only if you price your home right. In slower markets, setting the right expectations matters. Real estate has always been local, but now it's hyper-local. What's true across town might not apply on your street. 3. Inventory is trending upwards. Inventory is starting to pick up, which means buyers have more options and more time to compare. But that also means sellers face more competition. In this kind of market, pricing too high is one of the quickest ways to get overlooked. Buyers today are careful. They're weighing every detail. For sellers, that means small things—like a clean space, fresh paint, or a pre-listing inspection—can make your home stand out. It doesn't need to be perfect, but it does need to feel worth the price. This summer's housing market is all about being informed and strategic. Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply curious about your options, now's the time to gather the facts and create a plan that aligns with your goals. Let's talk about what kind of move makes sense for you. Feel free to call, text, or message me anytime. I'm ready when you are.

A Note from James:Owning a home has been sold to us as the American dream. But what if it's actually a financial nightmare? In this episode, I talk with my friend Doug Hill about why I think buying a house is a bad idea—not just a little bad, but one of the worst investments you can make. Doug and I disagree on some points, and that's the fun part. This isn't about being contrarian for the sake of it. It's about questioning assumptions that most people never even stop to think about.Episode Description:In this premiere episode of the Crazy Finance series, James Altucher and Doug Hill take on one of the most sacred cows in personal finance: home ownership. James argues that buying a house isn't the milestone of success it's made out to be—it's an expensive, illiquid, and overrated investment. Doug offers a counterpoint rooted in emotional and lifestyle value. Together, they break down the numbers, psychology, and cultural narratives that shape the decision to rent or buy.If you've ever wondered whether you should buy a house—or regret that you did—this conversation challenges the conventional wisdom with real numbers and uncommon insight.What You'll Learn:Why owning a home may be one of the least financially sound decisions you can makeHow homeownership locks you into inflexible geography and limits job mobilityThe hidden costs of maintenance, property taxes, and lost opportunityWhy emotional security often drives people to buy homes, not financial logicHow rental life can be financially and psychologically freeingTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Homeownership Is a Scam?[01:00] Introducing the Crazy Finance Series[02:00] James's 11-Item Airbnb Life[03:00] Why Freedom Costs Less Than You Think[04:00] The Myth of "Throwing Away" Rent[06:00] What Makes a House a Bad Investment[07:00] Real Estate vs. Diversified Assets[08:00] The Illusion of Home Equity[09:00] Historical Returns on Housing[10:00] "Found Money" and Forced Savings[11:00] When You Never Truly Own Your Home[13:00] Renting vs. Buying: Lifestyle Tradeoffs[14:00] James vs. Doug: Dominican Property Math[16:00] Renting as Freedom, Not Failure[17:00] The 40-Year Trap of the Down Payment[18:00] Recession Horror Stories[19:00] Emotions vs. Economics[20:00] Getting Stuck (Just Like Factory Towns)[21:00] Why James Still Owns a Home (Kind Of)[22:00] Gender, Culture, and Nesting Instincts[23:00] Listener Homework: Is It Really a Good Investment?Additional Resources:James Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherU.S. Housing Returns Historical Data: Case-Shiller Home Price Index via FREDMortgage Interest Rates: Bankrate.comU.S. Property Tax Statistics: Tax Foundation – Property Taxes by StateChoose Yourself by James Altucher – AmazonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Buyers aren't waiting—they're adapting. Here's how to leverage today's trends and timing to your advantage. If you've been waiting for signs of movement in the market, some significant shifts are happening this summer that you should know about. Whether you're a buyer or or seller, or simply watching from the sidelines, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions when the time is right. The market is steady but not slow. This season feels different because it's not moving at lightning speed, but it's not stalled either. Homes are coming on the market, creating a brief surge of activity, and then the pace slows down until the next new listing appears. This pattern keeps repeating. The reason this is happening is because inventory is still low. Serious buyers are watching and waiting, but it's not the intense competition we saw four or five years ago. People are ready to act, but they're being more selective. Shadow inventory is building behind the scenes. There's also a growing number of homes that haven't hit the market yet. These are what we refer to as “shadow inventory.” These sellers have already taken care of the prep work. Photos are done. Disclosures are signed. Everything is ready to go. The only thing holding them back is that they haven't found a home to move into yet. As soon as they do, their property will be listed, and that's when we see those bursts of market activity. It's happening more often this summer, and it's keeping the market in motion even if inventory looks tight from the outside. “The summer market is steady, driven by low inventory, hidden listings, and buyers who've adjusted to today's interest rates.” Some of these homes are also being shared through internal networks that aren't available to the public or listed on the MLS. If you're looking for off-market opportunities, this can be a valuable advantage. Buyers have adjusted to higher rates. Interest rates are still higher than they were a few years ago, but the mindset has changed. Many buyers are no longer waiting for rates to drop. They've accepted the current conditions and are moving forward. Their focus has shifted to monthly payments and long-term affordability. First-time buyers are entering the market with realistic expectations. They're not comparing today's rates to past ones. They're reviewing their budgets and making decisions based on what works now. Even some homeowners with very low rates—around 2.5% to 3.5%—are deciding to sell because of major life changes. Whether it's growing families, job moves, or downsizing, they're using the equity they've built and choosing to move ahead. The market is active, but timing and strategy matter more than ever. If you're thinking about making a move or want access to homes before they're listed, feel free to call or text us at 952-212-3597 or email ChadandSara@edinarealty.com. We'll help you by discussing your goals, timing, and what's possible in today's market.

If your home isn't selling, now's the time to adjust your pricing, improve the condition, and upgrade your marketing before summer interest fades. What keeps homes from selling in summer? Picture this: You listed your home expecting it to sell quickly, but it's been weeks and you're still waiting. No offers. Fewer showings. A growing sense of frustration. Many homeowners are realizing that the summer 2025 market isn't what it was earlier this year. More homes are hitting the market and buyers have more options. And with interest rates still high, they're being more selective. The good news is that there are clear reasons homes sit and practical ways to turn things around. Here are three things you can do to sell quickly and for the best price this summer: 1. Check your price. Pricing is often the first issue. A number that made sense in the spring may not hold up today. With more competition, buyers are comparing every home they see. They'll keep moving if your price feels too high for what you're offering. This is where a fresh market analysis helps. Ask your agent to look at sales from the last 30 days, not last quarter. A small adjustment could attract renewed interest if your price is no longer competitive. 2. Fix the things that turn buyers off. Today's buyers are cautious. Many are using all their available funds to close, so they aren't looking for homes that need repairs. Minor issues like scuffed walls, dripping faucets, or worn carpet can make a home feel neglected. You don't need a complete remodel, but minor updates matter. Paint touch-ups, clean spaces, and simple repairs go a long way. Also, make it easy for people to see the home. If showing times are limited, your buyer pool shrinks. The more access you give, the more chances you have to get offers. “With the right strategy, you can reposition your home to sell without lowering your standards.” 3. Update your marketing strategy. A strong online presence is essential. Buyers may never take the next step if your listing has basic photos and no video. Ask your agent about professional photography, video walkthroughs, and social media promotion. These tools help your home stand out and reach people who are actively searching. Good marketing is no longer optional—it's expected. If your home has been sitting with little interest, now is the time to act. A few focused changes can make a real difference. I'd be happy to take a closer look and give you a custom plan to help your home get the attention it deserves. Reach out today and let's make your home the next one to sell.

The housing market could do something it's never done before—permanently reverse. For as long as home prices have been recorded, they've always increased over time. But, with one of the largest generations, the Baby Boomers, aging out, and household formation shrinking as birth rates decline, we could face a new problem—insufficient demand. This is a huge problem for Millennials and the Gen Z generation since buying a house, the primary asset that makes up the majority of many Americans' net worth, may not be the same wise financial decision as it was before. James Rodriguez joins us on the show to break down his recent article, The millennial homebuying predicament, and why buying a home may get easier for the younger generations, but it could come with less long-term payoff.  For years, economists speculated that a “silver tsunami” would flood the housing market with inventory. What actually ensued, however, was more of a “silver glacier,” since we're still millions of housing units short. But once these boomer-owned homes hit the market, will prices grow, stall, or decline? What happens to home prices if the population stagnates or reverses? Does buying a home become a riskier decision? James is on to help us answer these questions and share which homes could be the safest bet for long-term demand.  In This Episode We Cover The demographic dropoff that could transform the housing market forever  Properties with the most (and least) demand as household sizes shrink  With population concerns, does buying a house become a much riskier decision? The “silver glacier” that's slowly melting and bringing inventory to the market  Could immigration solve America's population replacement problem? And So Much More!

On today's Wholesale Hotline (Subto Edition), Pace breaks down a real-life Subject-To deal in extreme detail, showing how he acquired a house with zero dollars out of pocket and turned a break-even rental into a $20K/year cash-flowing asset. Show notes — in this episode we'll cover: What made this property so prime for creative financing, what Pace said and how he pulled it off. Pace explains how expired listings (especially those bought between 2020-2022 with no equity) are a goldmine for Subject-To deals and how one of his students sourced this deal using the “Kevin Cho List” strategy. Full financial breakdown: $55K total capital (paid by a private money lender), monthly payments of $1,268 (mortgage) + $366 (private lender), and various exit strategies including wraps, lease options, and group homes that can 10X cash flow. By turning the home into a group home rental, Pace increases potential rent from $1,800 to $3,600/month, transforming a break-even property into one generating $1,800/month in net cash flow—proof of how exit strategy is everything in creative real estate.   ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ☎️ Welcome to Wholesale Hotline & Subto Breakout✌️✌️! ☎️ Need discounts and free trials!?

Have you ever stepped back and thought about how similar the process is, of finding a job to buying a house? Like in nearly every single way - the parallels are eerie! So let's talk about it… My special guest today is global talent acquisition leader, Shannon Taylor and he's simplifying why you should treat your job search like buying a house. Because if this simple (yet profound!) reframe helps you feel more empowered and better equipped, then I'm calling that a WIN. Here's how. My all-star special guest today is Shannon Taylor and he's simplifying why you should treat your job search like buying a house. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: His take on what's going on in the job market right now and why it seems so different this year. He breaks down all the reasons why he draws comparisons between buying a house and finding your next job…  Turnover low, job supply low, demand high and getting the timing just right. Using this house buyer analogy, he talks about where job seekers can go to find the “hidden job market,” as in, the roles that are rarely publicized or have less competition These are called “off-market pocket listings” in real estate or jobs that might be outside of what you typically go for. How job seekers can make their “offer” the most compelling when applying for roles, so they land the interview. In job seeking (as also in buying a house), there's a bit of serendipity and magic to it… How a job seeker can increase their chances of getting the stars to align in their job search. Q: Are you ready to learn why you should treat your job search like buying a house? If yes, this one is for you.

In this episode, I share some deeply personal updates, including the recent loss of my beloved gauncle George, which has put our egg donor plans on hold and made the prospect of buying a new home both exciting and daunting. I also dive into Justin Baldoni's first podcast appearance since his legal troubles began, where he discusses masculinity and vulnerability, though he doesn't spill much tea on the lawsuit. Additionally, I explore a viral TikTok story about the careers least likely to cheat, according to a divorce attorney, and offer insights into my podcasting courses, which are now available at a discount. Stay tuned for more pop culture updates and my ongoing home-buying journey!
