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.

Buying your first home is an exciting time but as with anything you do the first time, it can also be a bit overwhelming.  We share the importance working a lender and agent that you trust, identifying your needs versus your wants, why to look past the cosmetic features of a home to those that you can't change, the importance of an inspection and more.

For years, two-year fixes were the mortgage of choice for most homeowners - but borrowers piled into five-year deals in 2022 and 2023 in a bid to lock in super-low rates. Now, UK Finance figures show shorter fixed deals are once again back in vogue. Does that mean people think rates are heading down - and what do you need to think about when choosing yours? This is Money's Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss.  Elsewhere in the property market, TSB data reveals that the average first-time buyer is now past their 30th birthday in all but one region of Britain. Perhaps more surprisingly, though, the amount people borrowed from family to get on the property ladder went down last year.  The team ask why that is, and tips for saving a house deposit.  Donald Trump's tariffs have continued to dominate the headlines this week, causing a whirlwind on the global markets.  Is this going to bring down savings rates for good, and what can people do with their money instead?  On the bright side, though, it means there might be a very short window in which you can buy a cheap TV. We are also running a listener survey, to get your thoughts on what you like about the podcast and what we can improve. We would really appreciate if you could take a few minutes to fill it in - you can do so here.

The housing market is slowing, with homes taking nearly two months to sell—the slowest pace in five years. Meanwhile, a shift in commissions is unfolding, with rates rising slightly for affordable homes and dipping for high-end properties since the NAR settlement took effect. As affordability improves, experts predict 2025 will be a renter's market, creating new opportunities for those looking to lease rather than buy. Compass is making a major tech play with the launch of “Compass One,” a client portal designed to streamline transactions, while NAR continues its media push with the fifth season of First-Time Buyer. The MLS landscape may be on the verge of transformation, with talks of a national network gaining traction. In other headlines, climate change is reshaping real estate, putting $1.5 trillion in property value at risk, and homebuilders are anxiously awaiting tariff details from Canada and Mexico that could impact costs. Plus, new homes are shrinking—are buyers really looking for less space? And in a wild twist, two wealthy Florida real estate moguls have been denied bail as a judge exposes their fraudulent empire. Tune in for expert insights, bold takes, and everything you need to know about the real estate world this week!

In this episode of The Horizon with John Chang, John interviews economist John E. Silvia to discuss economic outlook and housing market trends. Silvia shares insights on consumer sentiment improvement and housing affordability challenges, particularly in coastal markets. 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. Silvia predicts continued strong housing demand over the next 5-10 years but expects construction to remain in "second gear" relative to historical levels, maintaining the current housing shortage of 3-5 million units.
