Volatility has been the dominant theme in the municipal market, but it has also created new opportunities for investors. In this month's Muni 360 Market Insights, Eric Kazatsky and Jack Muller discuss how recent rate volatility has led to higher yields across the municipal curve while credit fundamentals remain largely intact. They explore shifting relative value opportunities, the importance of year-round tax management, the impact of increased issuance on market technicals, and what wealth tax and millionaire tax proposals could mean from a municipal credit perspective. Listen as Eric and Jack examine the key factors influencing today's municipal market and discuss where current conditions may be creating opportunities for long-term investors.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!Welcome to a special regional guest edition of the New Zealand Property Market Podcast. This week, Head of Research Nick Goodall returns to his hometown roots to interview Jemma Scott-Davidson, owner and mortgage advisor at Loan Market. With over 20 years of commercial banking experience before launching her independent advisory firm, Jemma provides an invaluable, boots-on-the-ground temperature check of the winterless north.Moving past the mainstream media's "boom or bust" narratives, Jemma explains why the current environment is actually a return to a "normal" market driven by fundamental life choices. We analyse the distinct activity occurring within the $650,000 to $750,000 sweet spot, expose the pricing standoff affecting properties purchased at the late-2021 peak, and break down the three clear interest rate fixing strategies currently emerging among New Zealand borrowers navigating the post-MPS landscape.This week we discuss:The Whangārei Sweet Spot: Why properties priced between $650,000 and $750,000 are seeing steady, healthy transaction volumes from regular families.The Million-Dollar Value Gap: Navigating the lack of quality stock in the $800,000 to $1,000,000 bracket and why overpriced listings are distorting buyer expectations.The Peak COVID Standoff: Why un-capitulated vendors who bought in late 2021 are stalling market velocity.Three Emerging Fixing Behaviours: 1. The Confident Can-Kickers: Rolling on 6-month fixes to capture short-term savings while waiting for geopolitical oil conflicts to settle. 2. The Long-Term Securers: Locking in 5-year terms to protect fragile household cash flows from further volatility. 3. The Risk Splitters: Tranching debt across 2 and 3-year terms to avoid total structural exposure.Why DTIs are Stalling: Why high bank test rates are capturing debt-to-income limits by default, leaving equity and deposits as the primary hurdles.Innovation in Commercial Lending: Real-world examples of Northland businesses navigating tight cash flows through clever asset diversification and labour hoarding.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

Submissions can feel like a scavenger hunt: PDFs in one place, schedules in another, critical details buried in an email thread, and a clock ticking while you try to meet client expectations. We wanted to dig into what actually helps, not another tool that creates more work. So we sat down with Leah Herman, product manager for CRC's Ready Intel, to talk about how AI-driven insights and automation are reshaping the insurance submission and placement process for retail agents and CRC brokers.We break down what REDY Intel is at a practical level: an intelligence layer embedded across the CRC REDY platform that powers automated clearance, submission data extraction, Risk Insights, and Market Insights. We also get specific about what “data extraction” really means, including pulling underwriting fields like payroll, gross sales, vehicle schedules, and construction details, helping reduce missed information and the endless back-and-forth that slows quotes and binding.Then we go beyond speed. Risk Insights turns extracted fields plus context from the submission email into a summarized risk snapshot, giving brokers a head start on understanding exposures and identifying what is missing. Market Insights adds another layer by analyzing placement trends and carrier appetite to recommend better carrier matches, helping you market smarter and set clearer timelines with clients. Throughout, we come back to the same principle: technology should enhance relationships and specialty knowledge, not replace them.If you want faster clearance, stronger submission quality, and more data-driven placement decisions, listen now.

In part 1 of this 2-part series, Amazon experts share Prime Day, AI, TikTok, PPC, image testing, and Helium 10 strategies to help sellers prepare, optimize, and win bigger. In this special Part 1 of a two-part AM/PM Podcast series, Carrie Miller brings together top Amazon, TikTok Shop, PPC, image optimization, AI, and Helium 10 experts to help sellers prepare for Prime Day. The episode focuses on strategies that can be implemented before the rush, from improving conversion rates and campaign structure to using AI tools for faster execution. The first set of experts dives into practical Prime Day tactics, including using AMC audiences to target higher-converting shoppers, scaling international keyword research with Google Sheets AI and Helium 10, and using AI-assisted workflows to build PPC bulk files. The episode also highlights the importance of main image testing, with strategies from PickFu and AMC One Step showing how sellers can benchmark against competitors, test creative angles, and use SERP simulations to improve click-through rates. TikTok also plays a major role in this episode. Sellers learn how to validate products with Helium 10's TikTok Hot Videos, use TikTok as a top-of-funnel channel for Amazon Prime Day, and create subtle content that drives inbound interest without relying on overt Amazon calls to action. Experts also discuss protecting margins, avoiding unnecessary over-discounting, and using voice-to-text AI tools like WhisperFlow to speed up daily e-commerce workflows. The episode closes with advanced strategies around external traffic, listing optimization, Market Tracker 360, hybrid Prime Day deal structures, and AI-powered product briefs. The biggest lesson is clear: Prime Day success is not just about running a discount.

Have we made the manager's role more complex without making it easier to make good decisions? Over the past decade, expectations on managers have grown significantly. They're expected to make decisions that are fair, data-informed, and financially responsible - often in real time and under increasing scrutiny. Yet in many organisations, the systems designed to support those decisions haven't evolved at the same pace. So, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green speaks with Kenneth Matos, Director of Market Insights at HiBob, to explore what it takes to design better decision environments for modern organisations. Drawing on new global research involving 4,700 people managers, Ken shares why the time spent stitching together data and the lack of a unified HR–Finance view are undermining decision quality - and what leaders must do to enable managers to balance people fairness with financial discipline. Tune in to learn more about: Why decision friction is emerging as a hidden barrier to organisational agility How fragmented data undermines fairness, consistency, and trust in people decisions What changes when HR and Finance operate from a shared contextWhy defensibility is becoming critical in an era of pay transparency and scrutinyHow AI can reduce decision friction when implemented with the right guardrailsWhy designing better decision environments is becoming a core leadership priority This episode is sponsored by Hibob.

Calibrate Real Estate Podcast #201 In this episode of the Calibrate Real Estate Podcast, host Kyle Malnati sits down with Scott Rathbun, the President and Owner of Apartment Appraisers and Consultants (AANC), to discuss the current state of the apartment market in the Denver Metro Area. This episode provides valuable insights and data-driven analysis for real estate professionals and decision-makers in the Denver Metro Area, as they navigate the current market conditions and plan for the future. Here are key takeaways: The Denver Metro Area is experiencing a slowdown in population growth and employment, which are typically the key drivers of housing demand. The demand for apartments remains high due to the increasing unaffordability of homeownership, leading to a delay in the transition from renting to owning. The apartment market has been overbuilt, resulting in rising vacancy rates and the need for landlords to offer significant concessions to attract tenants. The decline in rents is impacting the affordable housing market, as market-rate rents are now competing with subsidized affordable units. The development pipeline is shrinking, which could lead to a future shortage of new apartment supply and a potential resurgence in rent growth. Investors and developers should closely monitor the market trends and be prepared to adjust their strategies accordingly. Renters may have more negotiating power in the short term, but the long-term outlook suggests the potential for a tightening market and rising rents. Policymakers and affordable housing advocates should consider ways to incentivize the development of affordable units to mitigate the impact of the market-rate rent competition.
