Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastWe sit down with 24-year-old powerhouse Elio Alanis, who sells 250 homes a year almost entirely from Instagram marketing. In this bold conversation, Elio describes the simple, repeatable model that helped him generate and scale real estate leads with almost no paid advertising – from 50 sales his first full year to 250 sales per year.We explore how he mastered new construction, cracked the code on incentives, and built a daily content system that produces 25-30 inbound leads every single day. Elio walks us through his 8-10 daily stories, his three content pillars for reels, and the exact script he uses to convert curious buyers into qualified clients.  We also unpack his onboarding process, his team model, and how he built a brand so strong that people tag him every time they see an orange Lamborghini on the highway. This model is simple, smart, and scalable, and anyone can run it.Resources:Order the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

This month's real estate roundtable brings together John Pasalis, Steve Saretsky, and mortgage broker David Larock for a deep dive into where the housing market is heading next. We start by looking at the surprising end to 2025, with home sales in the GTA on track to finish the year at a 25-year low. We break down what's driving the slowdown and how buyers and sellers are responding on the ground. From there, we discuss the diverging outlooks for the Bank of Canada's next move. Some economists still see more cuts ahead, while one major Canadian bank is now forecasting a rate hike in 2026 — a scenario few thought possible just months ago. We explore what that would mean for borrowers, mortgage renewals, and price expectations. We wrap up the conversation by sharing our forecasts for the housing market in 2026, the indicators we're watching most closely, and whether we believe next year will mark a turning point or another chapter in a difficult market.

Is Home Ownership Still Affordable? Exploring California's Housing Market ChallengesIn this episode, Vito discusses the current state of housing affordability in California and other parts of the United States. With home insurance premiums skyrocketing by nearly 50% since 2020, and home maintenance costs swelling due to inflation, buying a house has become increasingly difficult. The video explores alternative investments, such as rental properties in more affordable states like Texas, and delves into insights from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) on home sales projections, mortgage rates, and housing inventory.

Pending home sales saw a 4% uptick, far above expectations of 0.2%. Kevin Green says it could signal some strength returning to the housing market but notes continuing rate cuts into 2026 will play a key role in setting a new foundation. As a potential government shutdown looms, Kevin points to Friday's non-farm payrolls report as more important than usual.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Existing home sales don't count as new GDP output, but they trigger a burst of spending that powers dozens of industries. When sales sink, that “turnover multiplier” fades—hitting retailers, manufacturers, and last-mile logistics fast. This episode, inspired by U.S. home sales decline: How companies can offset the ripple effect, connects the macro dots (7% mortgage rates, rate-lock, inventory scarcity) to the micro results (weaker durable-goods demand, slower last-mile, cautious consumers).We highlight four strategies leaders are deploying to offset the drag—from IKEA x Best Buy pop-ups to Pro-segment plays, international expansion, AI shopping-agent readiness, and granular scenario modeling—so companies can protect margins now and position for the rebound.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why a Frozen Housing Market Ripples EverywhereExisting home sales projected near ~4M in 2025 vs. ~5–5.5M pre-pandemicRate-lock squeezes churn: owners won't swap 3% mortgages for ~7%Housing ≈16% of GDP: ~12% stable “housing services” vs. ~4% volatile RFI (the tripwire)Where the Drag Shows Up FirstDurable goods tied to moves: furniture, appliances, electronicsLogistics signal: softer last-mile for big-ticket deliveriesRetailers/manufacturers citing the freeze in H1 2025 resultsThe Four-Part Corporate PlaybookA. New Business Models & MarketsIn-store adjacency: IKEA pop-ups inside Best Buy to capture room-by-room buyersPro focus: revamped contractor programs to balance DIY softnessInternational hedge: expansion where housing is healthier (e.g., Mexico)B. Experience-Led RetailTurn stores into multi-function hubs: events, design consults, visualization toolsSell outcomes (spaces & solutions), not just SKUsC. Tapping New AI-Driven ChannelsPrepare for independent AI shopping agents (e.g., Remark, Rufus, Muse)Structure product data, attributes, pricing, availability for machine findabilityD. Intelligent Scenario ModelingMove beyond linear forecasts to granular simulations:Interest-rate paths by quarterRegional inventory + store signalsCategory-level demand elasticityUse outputs to shift inventory, hedge inputs, and adapt pricing dynamicallySignals to Watch in H2Persistent rate-lock, slower household formationDurable-goods resilience vs. lag effectsWhere the multiplier hits next (self-storage, landscaping, subscriptions, etc.)Key Takeaways:The “small” 4% RFI slice is the economy's tripwire—when turnover stalls, many categories feel it.You can't control rates or inventory, but you can decouple growth from move-driven demand.Experience-led stores, Pro segments, and international footprints cushion the blow.AI shopping agents are a new channel—optimize for machines, not just humans.Scenario modeling turns volatility into an advantage by guiding inventory, pricing, and sourcing in real time.Subscribe for more deep dives on macro shocks and practical playbooks. Visit The Future of Commerce for research and case studies on demand resilience, AI-ready data, and scenario modeling.
