Mortgage rates are at 7.5% today, up from 5.99% in March, and the housing market would need to fall about 14% to bring your payment back. I break down the Case-Shiller home price report, the PCE inflation number, and why I see a 70% chance the Federal Reserve raises rates at its next meeting.

Mortgage rates are around 7.2% — and the housing market is increasingly splitting into two very different experiences.PhD economist Orphe Divounguy explains why higher rates are keeping many buyers on the sidelines while luxury housing continues to perform well. Builders are responding with major incentives, including an estimated $44,000 per home in rate buy-downs and closing-cost assistance to get buyers across the finish line.At the same time, inventory is rising in parts of the country, giving buyers who can afford to transact more bargaining power. But for many households, higher borrowing costs and a weaker labor market are making homeownership increasingly difficult.Chris Krug and Orphe also examine what this divide could mean for state tax revenues, particularly as governments rely on income taxes, sales taxes and capital gains.Everyday Economics is hosted by Chris Krug and PhD economist Orphe Divounguy and is brought to you by The Center Square Newswire Service.

Mortgage rates today are moving because of the bond market and oil prices, not the Federal Reserve. Here's what really affects mortgage rates and why homes are still so unaffordable.If you're a homebuyer, realtor, loan officer, or homeowner watching where rates go from here, I break down the mortgage bond, inflation, oil, and the Fed in plain English, with the real numbers.IN THIS EPISODE

Chris Whalen returns after the FOMC's 25-basis-point hike and calls it what he wrote in his notes: lame. His argument is that the Fed has become the tail and the Treasury the dog — with a $2 trillion deficit running above 6% of GDP, monetary policy is close to irrelevant, and Kevin Warsh will eventually be forced back into QE and debt monetization whether he wants it or not. That leaves Congress, which Whalen says has stopped doing the one job only it can do, prompting a provocative exchange with Julia about whether a fiscal crisis ends with a manager running the purse the way FDR ran 1933. From there the conversation turns to where the damage shows up: housing, where more than half of American homes fell in price over the past year and Whalen expects a real correction into 2028; private credit and insurance, where he agrees with Jeffrey Gundlach that private credit is the fuse and the insurers are the bomb, and warns annuity holders at the wrong carriers may not be made whole; and energy, where the Houthis' grip on the Red Sea may force the refining industry to redeploy away from the Persian Gulf entirely. He also walks through his own portfolio — Schwab, Flagstar, Annaly, AGNC, and steady additions to gold and silver — explains why he holds no T-bills, and gives his take on the SEC's innovation exemption, calling crypto tokens a polite form of fraud better regulated by state gaming commissions.Thank you to our sponsor, Monetary Metals.

Jason is a guest on Adam Taggart's podcast and explores the current state of the American housing market, highlighting a unique period of low inventory and high interest rates. He argues that while affordability is at a forty-year low, the market remains resilient because existing homeowners are "locked in" by historically low mortgage rates. Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, there is a lack of distressed sellers and a significant surplus of home equity, which prevents a major price crash. The discussion also touches on the shift toward manufactured housing and the impact of a massive influx of multifamily rental units on the market. Ultimately, Hartman suggests that pent-up demand from millennials and Gen Z will likely drive prices higher once interest rates eventually decline. #RealEstate, #HousingMarket, #RealEstateInvesting, #PropertyMarket, #HousingAffordability, #MortgageRates, #HousingInventory, #RealEstateTrends, #JasonHartman, #WealthCreation, #HomePrices, #RealEstateInsights Key Takeaways: 0:00 The metrics you use 3:28 Upward pressure on rents 7:03 The need for more entry-level homes 9:02 Manufactured housing 11:23 Rents, Delistings and the housing shortage 20:12 Vacancies and the short term rentals 25:44 Inventory, mortgage and credit scores 31:07 The cost of ownership 35:33 The equity cushion & the LTV ratio 38:15 The source of Jason's optimism 41:13 Renter and Buyer demand boom phases   Websites: Join our FREE Masterclass EmpoweredInvestor.com/Wednesday Get your FREE Property Tracker account today PropertyTracker.com    _______________________________________________________________   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

The Wrap with Chris Whalen is back after a summer vacation with a blunt read on the fall ahead: affordability — fuel, housing, food — has already decided the midterms, and the Iran conflict plus the Russia-Ukraine war have created a shortage not just of crude but of refined products, with refinery maintenance season and the shift to heating oil set to push prices higher still. He calls $100 oil and a 5% 10-year Treasury the new normal, argues Scott Bessent's buyback strategy has failed, and expects a quarter-point hike next week while raising the more unsettling question: what happens if the Fed raises short rates and the long end goes up anyway? On gold, Whalen is still accumulating, sees $6,000–$7,000 only after a fiscal catalyst like a bad Treasury auction, and points to Shanghai's gold-linked clearing system and Russia's 100-ton sale to China as evidence of where physical demand really lives. He also answers viewer questions on the exodus at Fannie Mae, the flawed data behind credit scores, how to actually save in gold, why he owns only Flagstar and Schwab, and warns that Florida's home price correction is coming for the rest of the country next year.Thank you to our sponsor, Monetary Metals.

Home prices are cooling across much of the country, but some former pandemic boomtowns are seeing much bigger declines. New Realtor.com data shows listing prices per square foot fell year-over-year in 36 of the 50 largest U.S. metros in August, led by Austin, Tampa, and Memphis. Kathy Fettke breaks down where prices are falling fastest, why inventory is changing the balance between buyers and sellers, and what the shift could mean for real estate investors.  

The latest S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index is challenging the idea that the housing market is broadly falling. In this episode, we break down which major metros are still appreciating, where prices are actually declining, and why rising inventory doesn't automatically mean demand has disappeared.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that while home sales are down, prices are up.

I've got the August Reno-Sparks real-estate numbers sitting in front of me today, and I'm going to warn you:They're weird.If you've been waiting for the Northern Nevada housing market to collapse so you can finally pick up that $800,000 house for $500,000...I've got some bad news.The median sales price in August was $625,000.That's actually 6.8% HIGHER than a year ago.But here's where it gets interesting.Closed sales were down 6.7%.New listings were down 7.4%.And active inventory was down almost 24% from a year ago.So fewer homes are selling...Fewer homeowners are putting their houses on the market...There are substantially fewer homes available...And prices went UP.So today I've got Cory and Dwight here, and we're going to figure out what the heck is going on.Because if you're thinking about buying or selling a house in Northern Nevada, the headline number doesn't tell you nearly enough about this market.”

Should you buy a house now—or wait for mortgage rates to come down? It's one of the biggest questions homebuyers are asking. Between mortgage rates, high home prices, affordability concerns, economic uncertainty, and conflicting real estate headlines, it's easy to feel like waiting is the safest option. But there's another side of the equation that doesn't get nearly enough attention: What could waiting cost you? In this episode, I break down how to decide whether buying a home now or waiting actually makes sense for your financial situation. We discuss the myth of waiting for the "perfect" mortgage rate, the potential cost of another year of renting, how homeowners build equity, and why a lower future mortgage rate doesn't automatically guarantee a better homebuying opportunity. You'll also learn how strategies such as seller concessions, temporary rate buydowns, and permanent rate buydowns may affect the numbers in today's market. And just as importantly, I'll explain when I believe waiting really IS the smarter decision. Because this isn't about convincing everyone to buy a house. It's about making a decision based on your finances instead of reacting to headlines. My biggest takeaway: Waiting should be a strategy, not a reaction. If you're trying to decide whether you should buy now or wait, visit my website and schedule a consultation. We'll review your numbers, discuss your goals, explore the financing strategies that may be available, and determine whether buying makes sense for you today—or whether you need a plan to get ready. www.clarenceferguson.comhttps://tidycal.com/coachclarence/30-minute-mortgage-and-credit-consultation-strategy-call20251111195249 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Data came out saying Florida renters need about $77,500 a year to afford a modest two-bedroom rental.That sounds like bad news for Florida real estate investors. But is it really?

Dave Simons, Partner & Managing Director of One Private Wealth, joins Chris and Amy and is hesitant to say that we're for sure in the late summer economic doldrums; what is margin buying?; why is the dividend yield at the S&P 500 so low?; are we finally seeing some dropping home prices in some areas?

Is the housing market crashing? Mortgage rates, home prices in Austin, Memphis, Tampa, San Francisco, and San Antonio, plus this week's CPI, jobs report, and Federal Reserve outlook, all explained.The headlines say the housing market is crashing. So today I'm putting that to the test with the real numbers. Nationally, home listing prices are down 2.4%, but median home prices are actually up 3.2%. I break down which markets are falling the hardest (Austin, Memphis, Tampa, San Francisco, San Antonio) and which ones are still climbing (Providence, Indianapolis, Hartford, Virginia Beach, Chicago), then explain how the mortgage bond market, this week's CPI report, and the jobs numbers are shaping where mortgage rates go next.If you're sitting on the sidelines waiting for the crash, this is the video where I tell you exactly what to check before you make that call: your credit score, your down payment options, and what mortgage payment you actually qualify for.For more market breakdowns and data, check out the blog: https://www.therateupdate.com/blog

Existing home sales stayed flat for a fourth straight year in July, holding at 4.06 million — even as the labor market took an unexpected hit. Matt Lombardi and Steve Kaempf break down a July jobs report that showed a surprise loss of 23,000 jobs against expectations of an 83,000 gain, with May and June revised down another 103,000 jobs. Nearly a million people left the labor force over the past two months, even as unemployment dropped to 4.1%.Despite the shaky job numbers, home prices hit a new record of $434,100, marking 37 straight months of year-over-year growth, while inventory remains tight at a 4.6-month supply. They also cover Compass's strong Q2 earnings beat, Missouri voters rejecting two controversial tax ballot amendments, Illinois' new authority to regulate insurance rate hikes, a fresh Illinois accelerator program targeting the housing shortage, and which Chicago-area neighborhoods are seeing the fastest price growth.New episodes of Market Trends drop every week — subscribe so you don't miss the next one.#HousingMarket2026 #ExistingHomeSales #JobsReport #MarketTrends #RealEstateNews #LaborMarket #RealEstateInvesting #ChicagoRealEstate #Compass #RealtorLife #peoplenottitles #marketupdates Full episodes available at www.peoplenottitles.comPeople, Not Titles podcast is hosted by Steve Kaempf and is dedicated to lifting up professionals in the real estate and business community.

Instagram: @thesalibgroup Email: mark@thesalibgroup.com Where are Americans moving, and does population growth actually drive home values higher? In this episode of Real Estate Market Minute, we break down the top U.S. metros gaining residents, the areas losing population, and what happened to home values during the same period. Using U.S. Census population data and housing market trends, we explain why migration matters — but why inventory, new construction, affordability, mortgage rates, and housing supply can have an even bigger impact on real estate prices.

The Homeowner Show kicks off with a lighthearted, albeit slightly gross, discussion about an infestation of flies and a spider web in their studio, a stark contrast to the more serious topics that follow. This initial banter quickly transitions to personal anecdotes about home maintenance and repairs. One host shares his experience fixing an electric golf cart charger by replacing a blown circuit board for a mere $25, highlighting the cost savings and satisfaction derived from DIY repairs, especially when guided by online tutorials. The conversation then shifts to a similar repair experienced by the other host, who fixed a problematic mini-split drain line for the studio. He details how he bypassed an expensive quote by sourcing the parts himself for $25 and completing the repair in about 20 minutes, emphasizing the accessibility of information and parts for common home issues. This leads to a broader discussion about the empowerment of homeowners to tackle repairs themselves, potentially saving money and gaining valuable skills. A significant portion of the discussion delves into the contentious issue of housing affordability and the impact of large institutional investors. A new piece of legislation, the "21st Century Road to Housing Act," is analyzed, which aims to limit the number of single-family homes that large institutional investors can own. While the hosts acknowledge the intent behind the act, they express skepticism about its effectiveness, pointing out loopholes like the ability to create multiple corporations and the exemption for multi-family dwellings, suggesting it may be a superficial fix rather than a solution to the core problems of inflation and interest rates. The episode touches upon various other topics, including a humorous take on a WNBA situation involving an NBA player's controversial "no" vote and a subsequent "white privilege" claim, as well as personal experiences with insect stings and spider bites. The conversation concludes with a return to the theme of housing affordability, with the hosts reiterating that while homes may be expensive, creative solutions and a willingness to compromise on location or size can still make homeownership achievable for many, especially when compared to the drawbacks of apartment living. They also briefly discuss the tax incentives available to business owners, emphasizing that responsible financial planning can mitigate tax burdens. Buy a Homeowners Show T-Shirt!

Well, it seems the truth about the current slide in home prices is emerging, as falls are now quickly spreading to almost every suburb in Sydney and Melbourne, and also into smaller capitals too – once regarded as a one way upward bet by many – as the perfect storm of high inflation, flat wages, … Continue reading "Perfect Storm: Home Price Falls Are Spreading Like A Rash!"

It's been a while since I spoke on what's happening in Halifax's real estate market, so here is a breakdown of Halifax's recent market stats for July 2026, and they are interesting!Highlights1.) Halifax home prices dropped $66,000 (or 10%) from April 2026 average sale price of $666k, down to $599k average sale price in July 2026.2.) Halifax is ALMOST in a balanced market for the first time since AUGUST 2019! (A balanced market simply means that buyer's pay fair market value for homes.)3.) There are currently 1500 units (single family homes, condos, mini/mobile homes) for sale in all of Halifax. The highest number of units for sale since NOVEMBER 2019.Halifax seems to be shifting from the sellers market we've become accustomed to, to a slower balanced market where homebuyers are finding more success in options and negotiations with sellers.Jason Paul902-220-7357jason@infinityrealestategroup.com@jasonpaulhalifaxrealtor@halifaxrealestatepodcast

Host Matty A returns to his roots to discuss the immense value of building a personal brand and his strategic vision for the Imagos Income Fund and ImagosX. He introduces a new Friday format designed to bring clarity to complex economic indicators, starting with a breakdown of the 10-year treasury and how it serves as a crystal ball for long-term lending and mortgage rates.The episode also explores current macroeconomic signals, including why major homebuilders are slashing prices and why a housing crash is highly unlikely despite market slowdowns. Finally, Matty highlights a massive shift in generational wealth, explaining why more investors are prioritizing lifestyle and experiential investments today rather than waiting to pass on their estates.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDThe costly lesson of pausing a personal brand and the roadmap to 100,000 followersHow the Imagos Income Fund aims to reach 10 million dollars while offering experiential returnsSecuring ultra-exclusive access to sold-out events like Lollapalooza through ImagosXBig Finance Simple Words: Understanding the 10-year treasury yield versus the federal funds rateWhy the 10-year treasury directly dictates the cost of 30-year mortgagesAnalyzing price cuts from major homebuilders like Lennar and DR HortonFive reasons the housing market is protected from an imminent crashWhy the generational wealth transfer is shifting toward experiential lifestyle investingKEY TAKEAWAYSThe 10-year treasury is the ultimate indicator of market confidence and directly drives long-term borrowing costs like mortgages, separate from the Fed's short-term rates.Despite massive price cuts from homebuilders and slowing mortgage demand, record homeowner equity and low locked-in rates prevent a housing market collapse.Experiential investing is becoming a priority as investors choose to enjoy their wealth with family now rather than leaving it as a traditional inheritance.True wealth building requires a constant state of curiosity and the humility to continuously learn new financial strategies.Consistency in default habits separates high achievers from the rest, especially on days when motivation is completely absent.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONImagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.Visit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury condo ownership at Skyline OC, Orange County's tallest residential tower.

There was something in the Labor woodshed about migration that emerged yesterday and which may well signal a further change in policy to reduce migration into Australia. Some tweaks are already in the system, though net migration is hard for governments to control because most of the temporary visa categories are driven by demand and … Continue reading "Will Labor Really Cut Migration And Will Home Prices Fall Further Too?"

Why does everything still feel so expensive?In this week's episode of This Week's Economy, I connect the dots between inflation, tariffs, housing, the Federal Reserve, and entrepreneurship to explain why affordability remains the defining economic issue facing American families.The lesson is simple: affordability isn't created by government spending more. It's created by policies that expand production, encourage investment, and let people prosper.

Is Rockford, Michigan, a good place to live? In this episode of Living in Grand Rapids, Josh May breaks down the schools, home prices, commute, and lifestyle in one of West Michigan's most beloved small towns, and who actually thrives here versus who probably won't.⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS Introduction (0:00) What Rockford, MI Is Known For (1:22) The Rockford Lifestyle: Rogue River & White Pine Trail (2:14) Rockford Public Schools (3:15) Is Rockford Expensive? Home Prices & Inventory (4:03) The Commute to Grand Rapids (5:16) Downtown Rockford & The River Scene (6:08) Tradeoffs: Nightlife, Diversity & Car Dependency (7:02) Who Thrives in Rockford (and Who Doesn't) (7:37) Final Thoughts (8:41)ABOUT ROCKFORD, MICHIGANRockford, Michigan is located about 15 miles north of downtown Grand Rapids, and it has managed to grow over the years while keeping its small-town, community-first feel. People know Rockford for its charming downtown, excellent schools, outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of community, with local restaurants that know regulars by name and neighborhoods where kids still ride bikes until the streetlights come on.THE OUTDOOR LIFESTYLEOne of the biggest reasons people fall in love with Rockford is the lifestyle. The Rogue River flows directly through downtown, and residents spend their summers kayaking, canoeing, fishing, paddle boarding, and relaxing along the riverwalk. Rockford also connects directly to the White Pine Trail, a paved trail stretching more than 90 miles, making it easy to bike, run, or walk right from downtown.SCHOOLS AND REAL ESTATEThe Rockford Public School District is consistently one of the highest rated in West Michigan, and it's a major reason home values here have stayed so strong. Compared to much of West Michigan, Rockford runs on the higher end for home prices, though it's still considered affordable next to major metro areas nationally. Inventory stays limited, and well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods often see multiple offers.COMMUTE AND DAILY LIFEMost residents commute to downtown Grand Rapids in about 20 to 30 minutes, with easy access to the Medical Mile, Corewell Health, and other major employers. Rockford is a car-dependent community outside of downtown, so anyone moving from a highly walkable city should expect an adjustment.DOWNTOWN AND TRADEOFFSDowntown Rockford is small but active, filled with local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, breweries, and community events, with the river as the backdrop for much of summer life. It's not trying to be downtown Grand Rapids, which is exactly why people love it. That said, it's quieter than other parts of the metro, with less nightlife and less diversity, which matters to some buyers and not to others.WHO ROCKFORD IS RIGHT FORRockford tends to be the perfect fit for families who prioritize schools, professionals who want a quieter lifestyle close to Grand Rapids, outdoor enthusiasts, and buyers looking for long-term stability in both lifestyle and home values.If you're considering a move to West Michigan, we'd love to help you find the right fit.

Denver active listings ended June at 12,744, down roughly 9% from the same month last year, catching the panel off guard in this June 2026 Denver real estate market update. Most expected inventory to keep climbing through the summer. Instead, the Denver metro is heading into the back half of the year with less supply than it had a year ago, while median prices remain locked near $600,000 for the fourth straight year. Colorado Springs looks even flatter, with June closing at a $499,900 median and almost no movement month over month or year over year. Host Chris Lopez sits down with the full panel of Jenny Bayless of Colorado Springs, Jeff White of Envision Advisors, Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans, and Brandon Scholten of Keyrenter Denver. Together they walk through the June DMAR and Colorado Springs data, then move into two closed deals and the shifting picture in commercial multifamily debt. You get the ground-level view from the brokers, lenders, and property managers actually working these deals. The conversation also covers a Lakewood condo that finally sold for $150,000 after being listed at $270,000 and briefly dropped to $1 as a test. On the multifamily side, Chris shares a 100-unit Colorado Springs deal his fund closed near $11 million after the previous owner ran out of money at a roughly $17 million basis. Meanwhile, a Loveland fourplex traded at $685,000 with $27,000 in seller credits, bought down to a rate near 6.8% on a 5% down owner-occupied loan. From there, the June 2026 Denver real estate market update digs into the federal 21st Century Road to Housing Act and its 350-home institutional threshold, plus the extend and pretend cycle in commercial multifamily lending. Denver Business Journal quotes Mark Bell of Stinson describing extensions, negotiated ownership changes, and new equity infusions as the tools being used today. Chris shares his read after a night with Pinnacle Commercial brokers on why 2026 and 2027 could finally break the cycle. In This Episode We Cover: Why Denver inventory dropped 9% year over year when everyone expected a climb How Denver median prices have stayed near $600,000 for four straight years The Lakewood condo that listed at $270,000 and finally sold for $150,000 A Colorado Springs duplex that closed at list price for a first-time house hacker How a Loveland fourplex closed with $27,000 in seller credits and a rate near 6.8% What the 21st Century Road to Housing Act actually does at the 350-home threshold Why the extend and pretend cycle in commercial multifamily is finally starting to break The 100-unit Colorado Springs deal that traded roughly 35% below its previous basis And so much more! Whether you are house hacking your first duplex or holding a mid-size multifamily, Denver’s June 2026 real estate market update gives you the specific numbers and local context to make your next move.

In Part 2 of this conversation on The Greatness Machine, host Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down again with real estate developer and former mortgage industry executive Jon Irvine to dive deep into America's housing affordability crisis and the groundbreaking California legislation that could reshape how homes are built across the country. Jon shares a pivotal personal moment, selling a modest 2,000 sq ft Beverly Grove home for $3.35 million, that crystallized why younger generations are being priced out of homeownership. From there, the conversation explores California Senate Bill 1123 (SB 1123), a transformative zoning law that could allow developers to build up to 10 homes where only one previously stood, at price points 30–50% below comparable market properties. The episode also touches on the role of AI in streamlining permitting, the lingering impact of the LA wildfires on housing policy, and Jon's ambitious plan to build 500–1,000 homes in the Los Angeles basin over the next three to four years. In this episode, Darius and Jon will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Recap of Part One (02:53) The Future of Housing and Home Ownership (05:47) Transitioning from Lending to Development (08:12) The Challenges of Affordability in Housing (11:16) California's New Housing Law: SB 1123 (13:50) Understanding the Housing Shortage Crisis (16:50) The Transformative Impact of SB 1123 (19:37) Navigating the Development Process (22:00) The Realities of Building in California (25:21) Challenges in Real Estate Development (29:43) Streamlining the Entitlement Process (32:29) The Impact of SB 1123 on Development (36:59) Addressing California's Housing Shortage (42:30) Creating Affordable Housing Solutions Jon Irvine is the Founder and CEO of Westcove Development, a Southern California real estate development firm specializing in design-forward, small-lot single family homes in high-demand, supply-constrained markets.

Will home prices really crash in 2026—or are buyers and sellers being misled by fear-driven headlines? In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris breaks down the historical data behind housing market corrections and explains why today's market doesn't resemble the conditions that led to the 2008 housing collapse. If you're a real estate agent trying to help clients make smart decisions, this episode gives you the facts, scripts, and market perspective you need. You'll learn why national housing crashes are historically rare, the three conditions that must exist before prices can fall dramatically, why inventory still doesn't support a nationwide correction, and how record homeowner equity continues to stabilize today's market. Tim also explains why affordability is beginning to improve through wage growth instead of falling home prices, why local market corrections shouldn't be confused with national trends, and how serious agents can become trusted advisors by using data instead of opinions. If buyers are waiting for a crash or sellers are worried about headlines, this episode will help you confidently guide both conversations while positioning yourself as the market expert. This is exactly the type of practical coaching Libertas agents receive every week to help them win more listings, build stronger client relationships, and grow a predictable real estate business in today's market.
