Podcasts about Inventory

Builders have homes they need to sell. Real estate agents need transactions. The agents who connect those two problems may have one of the most overlooked opportunities in today's market. Tim and Julie Harris break down what's happening with new-construction inventory, including aggressive mortgage rate buydowns, closing-cost assistance, flex incentives and agent compensation being offered on select homes. But this episode isn't simply about selling new construction. You'll learn why monthly payment often matters more to buyers than purchase price, how resale sellers can compete with builder incentives, why agents need relationships with builder representatives, how old buyer leads may become opportunities again, and how one builder relationship can create buyer transactions, spec-home opportunities and resale seller referrals. Tim and Julie also explain why new construction should be included in your buyer presentation, how agents can find inventory outside the MLS, and how AI can help continuously research properties and opportunities for active buyers. Builders need buyers. Your job is to know the inventory, understand the incentives and become the agent who can connect the two.

FreightWaves Today hits the road for a special episode live from ShipStation Global headquarters in Austin, Texas, as Craig Fuller and Zach Strickland break down the latest forces shaping freight, logistics and the broader economy. The show opens with a look at the current freight and economic environment, including rising transportation and warehousing costs, inventory management challenges and the growing gap between truckload and intermodal pricing. Craig and Zach discuss why shippers are becoming more selective with inventory and SKUs, how uncertainty around demand and interest rates is influencing supply chain decisions, and what elevated costs could mean for the remainder of the year. They also dive into the extraordinary investment surrounding AI and data centers. With corporate profits climbing and massive infrastructure projects driving industrial activity, Craig and Zach examine how the AI boom is affecting railroads, construction, manufacturing and blue-collar employment. They also discuss the growing community backlash against hyperscale data centers and why the technology industry's messaging around AI could become an increasingly important part of the conversation. Then, ShipStation Global CEO Tom Madine joins the show to discuss the combination of ShipStation and Worldwide Express and what the newly integrated company is building for shippers. Madine explains how ShipStation Global is bringing together ShipStation's e-commerce shipping technology with Worldwide Express' transportation and freight expertise to create a more unified logistics platform. The goal is to give small and midsized businesses the ability to manage more of their supply chain from a single place instead of jumping between different providers and systems. A major focus is ShipStation's newly launched LTL offering. Madine explains why LTL was one of the most requested additions from ShipStation customers and how integrating freight directly into the platform can simplify inbound inventory movements, middle-mile transportation and other shipping needs that previously required merchants to leave the ShipStation ecosystem. The conversation also explores why transportation decisions can't simply come down to finding the cheapest rate. Service reliability, damage risk, estimated arrival times, carrier selection and the consequences of a failed shipment can all dramatically change what "best" means for an individual shipper. Craig, Zach and Madine discuss how data and intelligence can help businesses make better transportation decisions, particularly for smaller companies that don't have dedicated logistics teams or the resources to constantly monitor freight market cycles. Madine also lays out ShipStation Global's larger vision: bringing parcel, LTL, truckload, final mile and potentially additional transportation modes together into a more unified experience. He explains why simplifying logistics could be especially valuable for entrepreneurs and SMBs already balancing everything from finance and accounting to marketing, inventory and product development. Finally, the conversation turns global. Madine discusses ShipStation's presence across North America, Europe and Australia, the company's hundreds of parcel-carrier API connections and its ambition to become a truly global shipping technology platform. Topics include: • ShipStation Global's new LTL offering • The ShipStation and Worldwide Express combination • Bringing parcel, LTL and truckload together• Freight market cyclicality and SMB shippers • Using data to improve carrier and shipping decisions • Why the lowest freight rate isn't always the best option • Rising transportation and warehousing costs • Inventory management and changing shipper behavior • Truckload versus intermodal economics • AI, data centers and industrial freight demand • Corporate efficiency and the AI investment boom • The growing economic importance of hyperscale data centers • ShipStation Global's international expansion • The future of multimodal shipping technology FreightWaves Today brings together the latest freight market intelligence, transportation news and conversations with the leaders shaping global supply chains.

Amazon froze your funds for sixty days last year. No explanation, no appeal, and no timeline. You just waited. A bill sitting in the House Judiciary Committee could change that. I was reading a Practical Ecommerce piece from July 30th about H.R. 9799, the Online Sellers' Bill of Rights Act of 2026, introduced on July 21st. This bill aims to protect sellers from fund freezes without due process. I talked to an operator doing forty thousand dollars a month in home goods. He faced a freeze with no warning. Three moves you can make now: separate your operating cash from Amazon disbursements, diversify sales channels, and maintain a cash reserve. These steps are crucial, regardless of whether H.R. 9799 becomes law. If you've been on the wrong end of a fund freeze, you know the data problem underneath it. More policy changes are needed, but proactive steps can safeguard your business. Tune in to The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast for more insights. Implement with us.

Service accounts are one of the easiest paths to domain admin on an internalpen test, and one of the most neglected accounts in Active Directory.In this episode, Spencer and Tyler break down why service accounts keepfalling: Kerberoasting every service account (not just the privileged ones),cracking the hashes offline, and spraying what cracks across the environment.Tyler shares a recent engagement where a non-administrative service accountshared its password with a domain admin. Same password, one "SVC_" prefixapart. That spray handed over the domain. He's also seen the built-in RID 500administrator account used as a service account on three separate engagementsthis year.They also get into where these credentials actually live: web.config files onopen file shares, plaintext password files (present on roughly 90% of theirpen tests), and one .eml attachment with the credentials sitting inside ascreenshot.Then the fix list, in the order they'd actually do it:- Inventory the accounts and document where each one is used, before you touch a password- Delete the service accounts that don't need to exist- Strip privileges and restrict interactive logon rights- Get a password vault or PAM solution, and make every password long and unique- Alert on service accounts logging on interactively- Move to group managed service accounts (gMSA) where you can- Enforce 20-25 character minimums in the meantime. They've cracked 20+ character passphrases with a gaming rig, a 180 GB wordlist, and mutation rules producing roughly four quadrillion permutationsPlus the three cleanup mistakes that cause the most damage, including the storyof a $70 billion enterprise where one undocumented password reset turned into a10-hour troubleshooting call.Blog: https://offsec.blog/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberthreatpovTwitter: https://x.com/cyberthreatpovFollow Spencer on social ⬇Spencer's Links: https://spenceralessi.comWork with Us: https://securit360.com | Find vulnerabilities that matter, learn about how we do internal pentesting here.

Inventory may appear as an asset on the balance sheet, but when products sit unsold, they can quietly drain the cash a business needs to operate and grow.In this episode of It's The Bottom Line That Matters, Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo examine the financial and operational consequences of carrying too much inventory, purchasing too little, or misjudging what customers will actually buy.They discuss how excess inventory traps working capital, while stockouts can lead to missed sales and frustrated customers. Through examples involving restaurants, retail products, handmade jewelry, books, dropshipping, and print-on-demand, Jennifer and Patricia explore how business owners can make more informed purchasing and demand-planning decisions.The conversation also covers:How reservations, seasonality, weather, and customer behavior can help forecast demandWhy inventory decisions should be based on market demand rather than personal preferenceHow pricing can influence perceived value and purchasing behaviorOptions for moving products that are not selling as expectedThe financial risk created when anticipated revenue never arrivesWhether you operate a restaurant, retail store, online business, or product-based company, this episode will help you think more carefully about how much cash is tied up in inventory, how long it remains there, and whether that inventory is truly supporting your bottom line.

How's the real estate market in Greater Philadelphia? In this episode, I break down the numbers that actually matter for buyers and sellers across Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. Through July 2026, Greater Philadelphia closed sales are down just 1% year over year, while the median sales price is up 2.6% and active inventory has increased 12.4%. But the suburbs remain tight, with Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties all sitting below two months of housing supply. My biggest takeaway is that the market is stabilizing. Inventory is improving, local sales are showing some growth, prices continue to rise, and mortgage rates have remained relatively steady. I also explain why sellers shouldn't assume the market shuts down after August, what the typical post-Labor Day bump could mean, and why buyers should focus less on perfectly timing rates and more on finding the right home with a payment that fits their budget. Every neighborhood is different, so if you're considering a move, make sure you're looking at the data for your specific township, school district, and price range.

Andrew Morgans is founder and CEO of Marknology, an Amazon brand accelerator in Kansas City. In fifteen years in e-commerce he has managed over two billion dollars in revenue across 300 brands, launched his own warehouse, and built an AI platform for profitability, PPC, and inventory.This episode explores why most brand owners still do not know their real numbers on Amazon, and why the platform needs to be managed as a P&L, not just a sales channel.Andrew breaks down how storage fees, returns, and blended ad spend across Meta and TikTok quietly eat margin, and shares how shifting from branded search to broader targeting cut one brand's cost per acquisition from forty dollars to eleven. He also discusses building a family run agency and launching his own AI software.Listeners will leave with a sharper framework for finding where their margin is actually going, and why chasing top line revenue without profitability is a losing game.Our podcast is listed in Feedspot's 100 Best E-Commerce Podcasts:https://podcast.feedspot.com/ecommerce_podcasts/Website: https://expanio.com/Podcast website: https://expanio.com/commerce-untold-podcast/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CommerceUntoldGuest: Andrew Morgans, Founder & CEO, MarknologyAndrew Morgans's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/watchdrewwork/Marknology: https://www.marknology.com/Key Takeaways: • Most brand owners don't actually know their numbers on Amazon, which makes profitable decisions impossible. • Managing Amazon as a P&L instead of a sales channel is the fastest way to protect margin. • Shifting ad targeting from exact-match branded search to broader terms can cut cost per acquisition dramatically, even when ROAS drops. • Vertical integration, agency, warehouse, and personal brands, works best when each piece feeds the others. • Trust with clients is built by under promising and over delivering, not by chasing every channel at once. • Viral moments don't build brands. Consistency and knowing your keyword-level margin do.Chapters:[00:16] Introducing Andrew Morgans and Marknology's Vertical Integration[03:32] Building a Family-Owned Agency From the Ground Up[08:17] Managing Amazon as a P&L, Not a Sales Channel[10:46] Where Profit Leaks: Fees, Attribution, and Hidden Costs[13:41] Case Study: Cutting Cost Per Acquisition by Broadening Targeting[17:00] Focus, Priorities, and Entrepreneurial Balance[21:09] Building an AI Platform for PPC, Inventory, and Profitability[27:43] Expanding Into New Markets and Building Client Trust[41:32] Content, Community, and Closing Thoughts on Testing

In this episode of the Executive Function Braintrainer Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Dr. Erica Warren challenge the assumption that people fail to act because they are lazy or unmotivated. They explain how hidden barriers such as overwhelm, perfectionism, ambiguity, boredom, fear, low energy, and too many choices can make it difficult to begin or complete tasks. The hosts explore how executive functioning skills, metacognition, and an understanding of individual processing styles can help people recognize and overcome these obstacles. They also share practical strategies, including breaking tasks into smaller steps, providing clear instructions, externalizing information, and using mind maps and AI tools to make learning more accessible. Ultimately, they encourage parents, teachers, and individuals to look beyond motivation and identify the processing or executive functioning challenges that may be getting in the way.Links:The Student Processing Inventory (SPI) https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?q=Student+processing+Inventory+and+YPPI Your Professional Processing Inventory (YPPI) https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?q=Student+processing+Inventory+and+YPPI Executive Functioning Coaching and Study Skills Certification Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies EF Student Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠https://learningtolearn.biz/⁠⁠⁠⁠EF Adult Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Function Products and Tools: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-trainingivvi notes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Resources: ⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Assessments:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCA⁠⁠⁠⁠Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app⁠⁠Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment

Seattle just posted the steepest drop in pending home sales of any major market in the country — down 15% — and the cause isn't just interest rates. Amazon and Microsoft layoffs are freezing buyers in place, workers clinging to sub-3% mortgages they refuse to surrender, while the employer exodus from Bellevue accelerates quarter by quarter. The Northwest Multiple Listing Service data is unambiguous: Seattle is leading the national slowdown, and the direction of travel is not good.The Detroit comparison is no longer rhetorical. Inventory is surging, price cuts in Seattle and Tacoma are among the fastest in America, and the progressive policy environment championed by figures like Katie Wilson keeps compounding the structural rot. The millionaire tax, a degraded public safety environment, and a systematically hostile business climate are doing exactly what basic economics predicts — pushing capital and employers toward Texas, Florida, and anywhere else that will have them.One former Amazon exec is already sending Seattle a pointed message, moving his startup's headquarters to Texas with a few notes for the city he's leaving behind. For sellers still holding out on overpriced listings, the advice is simple and brutal: cut the price now or take it off the market and try again next spring. The years of effortless multiple-offer weekends are over.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the underreported stories shaping the region.#NFRP #Seattle #SeattleHousing

L'intelligence artificielle bouscule les équilibres internes et impose une transformation du management à grande échelle. L'automatisation des tâches pose une urgence immédiate. Il faut réinventer les compétences avant la disparition des emplois.Dans cet épisode, Delphine Zanelli reçoit Maryjo Charbonnier, Chief Human Resource Officer de Kyndryl.L'introduction de nouvelles technologies génère systématiquement de l'anxiété au sein des équipes. Chez Kyndryl, l'automatisation transforme radicalement les emplois puisque, comme l'explique la dirigeante, "nous avons déjà libéré 15 000 personnes à cause de l'utilisation de l'IA". Cette transformation du management exige une réponse organisationnelle précise pour maintenir la confiance. La fonction ressources humaines se retrouve en première ligne pour anticiper les suppressions de tâches, inventorier les expertises existantes et redéployer les individus vers des missions à plus forte valeur ajoutée.Ce défi management repose sur une anticipation minutieuse. Face aux ruptures, l'entreprise intervient en amont. Maryjo Charbonnier précise cette méthode en affirmant que "nous pouvons commencer à vous reskiller avant que votre travail de client s'arrête". La transformation du management s'opère par des outils de mesure continue et une acculturation globale. Les encadrants intègrent l'intelligence artificielle dans leurs objectifs avec la responsabilité de guider leurs collaborateurs vers de nouveaux apprentissages.L'organisation s'appuie également sur des mécanismes transparents d'évaluation. L'entreprise déploie des plateformes numériques qui génèrent automatiquement les questions d'évaluation pour libérer les managers de la charge cognitive. La pratique managériale évolue pour systématiser les retours constructifs à tous les niveaux car "le feedback est le moteur de notre progrès", rappelle la dirigeante. En parallèle, la reconnaissance devient un processus social et visible par tous pour nourrir l'engagement des collaborateurs.Membre du board du SHRM et rodée aux scissions d'entreprises mondiales, Maryjo Charbonnier conçoit son métier de manager depuis le terrain des crises. Elle aborde la transformation DRH avec un prisme ultra pragmatique en encourageant les équipes à se positionner là où l'entreprise souffre, car "les exécutifs tendent disproportionnellement à passer leur temps sur des choses qui ne fonctionnent pas". Face à l'incertitude technologique, elle rappelle une vérité individuelle. "La seule chose qui est dans votre contrôle, c'est votre rythme d'apprentissage".Cet épisode donne des éléments concrets pour anticiper l'impact de l'intelligence artificielle sur les compétences, déployer une culture du retour d'information continu et structurer la requalification des collaborateurs.CHAPITRAGE :(00:00) Le grand spin-off d'IBM et l'ère de l'IA (02:26) La méthode pour anticiper et inventorier (07:22) Auto-évaluation et confiance des équipes (12:13) Les quatre nouvelles missions du manager (19:16) Rendre le feedback simple et social (31:52) Pourquoi chercher la chaleur et la crise

Peter Zaitzeff has done nearly $5 billion in NYC sales, over 1,000 transactions, more than $300 million in the last year alone. He watches the Olshan Report every week like a bible. And here's the math he's running: Manhattan has roughly 4,000 units of inventory right now. The pipeline through the end of 2027 delivers only about 1,900 more. The market absorbs 600 per quarter. Do the math, and he's saying: zero inventory by 2027. "It's not drinks and gifts. It's showing up with the weekly report for 10 years. Then they let you sell the $60 million apartment." Noah Rosenblatt and John Walkup sit down with Peter Zaitzeff, top-producing broker at Serhant. In 25 minutes he walks through the state of the NYC luxury market (30+ contracts a week for 12 straight months, most consistent he's ever seen), the specific building feature driving the fastest sellouts at the highest prices, the origin story that took him from unpaid intern to selling with Ryan Serhant and Steve Witkoff, and the discipline he uses to keep operating at that level day after day. What you'll learn: The state of the luxury market. 30+ contracts a week for 12 straight months at $4M+. COVID low: 1-2 a week. Post-COVID peak: 45-55. Peter's read: this is the most consistent luxury market he's seen in 15 years. The inventory math. About 4,000 units on market today. About 1,900 new dev in the pipeline through 2027. Market absorbs 600 per quarter. Zero inventory by 2027. Smart money is buying now. The porte cochere theory. The single biggest driver of new-development sell-through velocity. 150 Charles sold out in 3 months. Greenwich Lane took years. Same buyers, same market. The difference was the porte cochere. Peter has the receipts. The post-COVID amenity shift. Cold plunge, steam, infrared sauna, gyms. Health-and-wellness amenities are now materially moving the needle on sell-out velocity. How to actually win the developer. Not drinks. Not gifts. Ten years of weekly analytics emails. Peter's $60M downtown record came after nearly a decade of proving himself with rentals and smaller sales for that same client. The offering-plan hack that launched his career. As an unpaid intern, Peter memorized the 150 Charles offering plan front to back: 91 units, 80 unique floor plans, every square footage and view angle. That was how he earned a seat on showings with Leonard Steinberg and Rafael De Niro. The advice that separates a top broker from a great one. "You have to know more than I know. That's where you create value." If you're building a career or a team, this is the frame. The running-as-endurance metaphor. Peter is an ultra-marathoner. His take on being a broker: "We're running a marathon every day and we don't know where the 23rd mile is." Get up. Do the three minutes. The next 30 follow.

In this episode of Forecasting Impact, hosts George Boretos and Mariana Menchero speak with Nicolas Vandeput, supply chain data scientist, author, educator, founder of SupChains, and organizer of the VN competitions. Drawing on years of experience in demand forecasting and inventory optimization, Nicolas challenges several widely held assumptions and shares a practical perspective on what truly creates value in forecasting.We discuss the role of machine learning in demand forecasting, the importance of strong benchmarks, common pitfalls in forecast evaluation, and how inventory optimization changes the way we think about forecasting performance. Nicolas also shares lessons from working with practitioners across industries and reflects on the key insights from the VN1 Forecasting and VN2 Inventory Planning competitions.

Ceramic coating is underrated, but the conversation around it is messy.Marshall and Nick break down why ceramic coating gets labeled overrated when the real issue is confusion between restorative work, protective products, and maintenance. They also dig into how marketing hype, bad education, and social media chatter have shaped the industry conversation. If you sell coatings, this one is a reminder that the product may not be the problem - the way it's explained usually is.Key topicsIn this episode, Marshall argues ceramic coatings are not overrated and have been valuable since the early days of the industry, especially compared with waxes and sealants.Nick makes the case that coatings are actually underrated for the average customer, because many drivers still need better long-term paint protection.The hosts separate three different services that often get confused:They push back on the idea that paint correction is part of the ceramic coating discussion, saying the original post was about protection, not restoration.A major theme is consumer confusion, driven by vague marketing, bad sales conversations, and people repeating talking points without understanding the product.They discuss how companies have exaggerated claims in the past, including lifetime promises and misleading durability labels, and how that hurt trust in coatings.Nick points out that some professionals keep selling failing products or align with questionable companies because the pricing is attractive, which keeps bad behavior alive.The conversation shifts to how AI has made customers more confident and more difficult to educate, especially when they come in with shaky or incorrect information.They compare coatings with older protection products, saying coatings are light years ahead of waxes and sealants in durability and real-world performance.The hosts close by tying the broader lesson to social media and shop education: if you want customers to value coatings, you have to explain them clearly and honestly.Timestamps(00:00) Facebook debate: is ceramic coating overrated?(00:47) Marshall's early belief in coatings and industry value(01:53) Nick says coatings are underrated for most drivers(03:46) Why "overrated" is really a marketing and expectation problem(04:06) Paint correction is not the same conversation(07:27) Restorative, protective, and maintenance services are different(11:29) Naked paint and why coatings bond the way they do(13:21) Marketing claims, snake oil, and industry blame(16:53) Why professionals have to vet coating companies(18:32) Detailers, car wash marketing, and who shaped the category(20:23) Water spotting and the honest customer conversation(23:13) AI-driven customers and the rise of know-it-all calls(25:11) When coating failures become a shop problem(27:36) Comparing wax, sealant, and ceramic coating durability(30:31) Why people in a small time window underestimate coatings(33:31) Stacking products and matching the service to the customer(35:43) Lifetime claims, graphene hype, and market correction(37:49) Why two-step corrections and five-year coatings don't fit everyone(39:39) Real experience changes how you view coating value(40:23) Car show talk: Juice as the easy finishing spray(43:26) Lubrication, towel choice, and safe wipe-downs(47:52) Whatever happened to the hooptie?(50:32) Common shop holes: scratches, missed pads, and poor prep(52:10) How pads get ruined by heat, debris, and too much product(57:42) Inventory mistakes and not having enough product on hand(58:43) The biggest hole of all: social media posts

Your TikTok Shop video just went viral. Congratulations. But now you're facing a stockout in four days, and your Amazon listing is right behind it. Neil Twa dives into why traditional inventory forecasting methods aren't cutting it anymore. Most operators still rely on outdated techniques, pulling the last 30 or 60 days of sales data, adding a buffer, and calling it a day. That approach is a recipe for disaster in today's multi-channel world. Neil shares a real-world example from a home goods brand making $30,000 to $50,000 a month on Amazon, but struggling to keep up with TikTok's demand spikes. He outlines three actionable moves to safeguard your inventory, whether you're just testing TikTok Shop or operating at scale. Get ready to rethink your strategy and protect your margins.

In this episode, Paula Avenaim, Broker & Real Estate Expert at Baird & Warner, discusses the housing trends shaping Chicago and Florida, from new construction and luxury demand to shifting buyer preferences and inventory challenges.

Everybody says it's a buyer's market. But is it actually a buyer's market where you sell real estate? Nationally, buyers have gained leverage in 2026. Inventory is higher, homes are sitting longer, seller concessions are becoming more common, and more sellers are reducing their prices. But national averages are not enough to win a listing appointment. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain how real estate agents can determine whether their own market—and their individual micromarkets—actually favors buyers or sellers. They break down months of supply, buyer leverage, seller concessions, price reductions, the cost of waiting, pricing strategy, and why knowing your local numbers can separate you from agents simply repeating national housing headlines. You'll learn how months of supply helps determine market leverage, why buyers are successfully negotiating more concessions, why overpricing has become increasingly dangerous for listing agents, how agents can handle sellers who want an unrealistic price, and why zip code, price range, property type, neighborhood, and even individual streets can behave completely differently from national averages. You'll also hear why information alone is no longer enough. AI can produce information instantly. The career advantage belongs to agents who can interpret market data, communicate it clearly, and help buyers and sellers make confident decisions. If you want more listings and a more predictable real estate business in 2026, know your market cold.

What is happening in the Edmonton real estate market right now, and where could the next opportunities be for investors? In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby are joined by Calvin Hexter from Calvin Realty for an updated look at the Edmonton market heading into late summer and fall 2026. Calvin breaks down the latest July market statistics, including price movement across detached homes, semi-detached properties, townhouses, and condos, as well as Edmonton's rising inventory levels. The big story right now is inventory. Greater Edmonton is sitting at more than 8,000 listings, which is significantly higher than what is typical for this time of year. That is giving buyers more choice, more negotiating power, and more opportunities to be selective. At the same time, the market is not weak. With approximately 3.2 months of inventory, Edmonton remains in a balanced market that still leans slightly in favour of sellers. Wayne, Gabby, and Calvin also discuss why August can create opportunity for investors, what they expect heading into September and the fall market, and why investors should focus less on trying to perfectly time the market and more on whether a property meets their investment criteria. They also preview the upcoming REIcon Summit Series, happening September 11–13 in Edmonton.

Forest inventory and timber cruising provide the information landowners and foresters need to understand what is growing on a property, how much timber is present, and how that timber should be managed or valued. In this episode of Timber University, Dr. Josh Granger from Mississippi State University joins us to discuss the different methods used to measure forests and why a well-designed inventory can be one of the most important investments a forest landowner makes. Dr. Granger is an Associate Professor in Mississippi State University's Department of Forestry, where he teaches dendrology, forest measurements, and forest description and analysis. His work helps students develop the practical skills needed to identify trees, measure forest resources, design timber cruises, and use inventory data to support forest management decisions. In this conversation, we discuss why the purpose of an inventory should determine how it is designed. Dr. Granger explains the differences among fixed-area plots, prism or variable-radius sampling, strip cruises, nested plots, and 100-percent inventories. He also discusses why no single method is best for every situation and how foresters often combine methods to efficiently collect the information needed. We also explain basal area, trees per acre, total height, merchantable height, and the level of precision needed for different types of forestry work. The conversation explores why a diameter measurement to the nearest tenth of an inch may be useful for research, growth monitoring, or carbon accounting, while broader diameter classes may be adequate for some operational timber cruises. The episode also emphasizes the financial importance of obtaining a reliable inventory before buying or selling timber. Without an independent estimate of timber volume, quality, and product composition, landowners may have little basis for determining whether an offer reflects the true value of their timber. Forest inventories can also support property appraisals, timber-basis calculations, casualty-loss documentation, carbon projects, wildlife management, invasive-species monitoring, and long-term assessments of forest growth and condition. This episode is a useful listen for forest landowners, consulting foresters, forestry students, timber buyers, land managers, appraisers, extension professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how forests are measured and valued.

Send us Fan MailMany manufacturers relying on QuickBooks and spreadsheets believe their current systems are sufficient until growth begins to expose underlying operational constraints. Inventory inaccuracies increase, purchasing becomes more reactive, and disconnected field service and billing processes create inefficiencies that slow the business. Over time, these issues form an invisible barrier to scale, often before leadership identifies fragmented systems as the root cause. This session examines the operational and financial costs of remaining on disconnected tools and provides practical insights into recognizing when it is time to transition to a more integrated business platform.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/outgrowing-quickbooks-when-manufacturers-must-move-to-erp/Questions for Panelists?

The Atlanta housing market enters the second half of 2026 on relatively solid footing but buying and selling dynamics continue to shift. Inventory rises, buyers gain more options and sellers negotiate more often on price and concessions.  John Ryan, chief marketing officer at Georgia MLS (GAMLS), joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss what recent housing data shows for Metro Atlanta and where the market is headed next.  Atlanta Housing Market Finds Balance  Ryan describes the market as “rebalancing, not retreating.” The market does not show a dramatic downturn. Instead, it continues moving away from the highly competitive pandemic-era conditions and toward a more balanced environment.  One of the clearest signs of the shift comes from rising inventory and changing buyer behavior.  Recent GAMLS data shows 36.4% of listings sold between January and July experienced a price change. Nearly 67% of sold listings included a seller concession, with a median concession of $5,000.  Those figures reflect a market where sellers respond more directly to buyer expectations.  Another key metric shows that 22% of listings that went under contract in January returned to active status by July. While that level does not represent a dramatic spike compared to previous years, it does show a gradual shift in negotiating power.  “Buyers have really kind of regained some leverage in the transaction negotiations,” Ryan said.  More Atlanta Inventory Expands Buyer Options  Rising inventory gives buyers something they have lacked in recent years: time. Buyers now compare properties, evaluate features and assess value without the same pressure to act immediately. That shift creates new challenges for sellers. Homes that once attracted multiple offers now compete with other listings for attention. Sellers benefit from pricing homes for current conditions rather than relying on past market highs. Competitive pricing increases early interest and reduces the risk of price reductions later.  Presentation also plays a larger role. Move-in-ready homes often outperform properties that require updates or repairs, especially when buyers have multiple choices. Sellers also need to prepare for negotiation. With nearly 67% of sold listings involving concessions, buyers frequently request credits or other terms during the transaction.  Atlanta Home Sales Remain Steady  Even with higher inventory, the Atlanta housing market remains active. Closed sales stayed steady through June, with sales volume up 4% year over year. Nearly 5,700 homes sold across the Atlanta 12-county core during the month, generating more than $3 billion in volume. The median sales price reached approximately $420,000, compared with about $417,000 a year earlier.  “Fundamentally, I think the market is healthy,” Ryan said.  The $350,000 to $500,000 range remains the most active, but the luxury segment also continues to see movement.  New Construction Expands Housing Supply  New construction adds another layer of inventory for Atlanta-area buyers. The additional supply gives buyers more choices when comparing new homes with existing properties.  For builders, steady demand supports continued development. For buyers, new construction offers modern layouts, warranties and fewer immediate repair needs.  Pending Sales Signal Future Activity  While closed sales remain stable, pending sales show a different trend.  Those numbers have declined year over year:  April: 21% decline in under-contract listings  May: 27% decline  June: nearly 30% decline  Because most homes close within 30 to 60 days, these declines may signal softer sales activity later in the summer and toward year-end.  Interest Rates and Confidence Shape Demand  Mortgage rates, employment and consumer confidence continue to influence buyer activity. Even small rate changes affect demand. A move closer to 6% could bring some buyers off the sidelines, especially those comparing current rates to pandemic-era lows.  Ryan notes that 6% to 7% mortgage rates remain historically reasonable, but many homeowners hesitate to give up ultra-low rates secured in recent years. That “lock-in effect” continues to limit resale inventory as homeowners weigh the cost of moving against existing low-rate mortgages.  Atlanta Housing Market Outlook for Late 2026  Ryan does not expect major swings in either direction for the remainder of 2026. The key question centers on whether declining pending sales will eventually reduce closed sales later in the year. Seasonality may also influence activity as the summer buying season ends and families settle into the school year.  To learn more about GAMLS, listen to the full episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio or visit https://www.gamls.com/.   About Georgia Multiple Listing Services  Georgia MLS is the largest real estate marketplace in Georgia, serving 52,600 agents and 4,600 brokerage offices across the state.

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.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough podcast, host Josh Hadley tackles what he calls the "silent killer" of e-commerce businesses: inventory mismanagement. Drawing on his experience scaling brands to eight figures, Josh explains how poor inventory forecasting, ordering too much or too little, can devastate cash flow and lead to bankruptcy. He shares cautionary examples, practical frameworks, and key strategies, including SKU-level forecasting, maintaining 90-120 days of inventory, using pre-orders to validate demand, and having liquidation plans ready.
