A simple definition of Eminent Domain is when the Government uses its power to acquire or seize private property.  This may be like land or a house with the intent to use that property for something that helps the public.  Compensation (that means money) is offered but what could be long some of the lasting impacts to the seller?  Current market value does not necessarily equate to long term appreciate or loss of value on remaing value to private property.  That is what the Real Siblings discuss on their latest episode.  Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.

They explore how high interest rates, construction costs, and labor shortages are impacting housing supply, with Silvia noting significant regional disparities in affordability. The conversation covers rental housing trends, with particular focus on Sun Belt markets experiencing high supply growth but strong absorption. They discuss the emergence of build-to-rent models and alternative housing options like townhouses and condos as solutions to housing shortages.
