Podcasts about market updates

In today's episode, I'm joined by Sage (Erik Larson), a logistics veteran with over 20 years in the industry, from owner-operator to SPI agent. He shares how the 2008 recession nearly took him out and how his decision to go all-in on freight brokerage reshaped everything.  We talk about the grind, working to master the over-dimensional niche, building custom trailers, and moving 70+ complex loads a year. Sage also breaks down how he built long-term carrier relationships without using load boards, his transition from independent brokerage to the SPI model, and why freight volume is tied to global trade shifts and oil prices.  If you're serious about operational excellence, niche specialization, and adapting your freight business, you'll want to hear this one!   Connect with Sage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SageOutcastX

In this episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're delivering key updates and insights that every Atlanta homeowner, buyer, or real estate professional should know. First, we break down the Metro Atlanta real estate market performance for the month of June. Whether you're planning to list your home, make a purchase, or just keeping an eye on trends, we'll cover what changed, what stayed steady, and what to watch for as we head deeper into the summer housing season. Then, in our “Something You Should Know About Atlanta” segment, we take a look back at the remarkable story of Delta Airlines. Headquartered right here in Atlanta, Delta has become one of the most recognized names in global air travel—but it wasn't always the powerhouse it is today. We'll explore how this iconic company started, the role it has played in shaping the city's economy, and what it continues to mean for Atlanta's growth and reputation on the world stage. In our final segment, we turn our attention to a legal development making waves in the real estate world. A recent ruling has reignited lawsuits from landlords against tenants over missed rent during the pandemic. We'll talk about what this means for landlords and renters alike, what rights each side has under Georgia law, and how this could affect investor behavior in Metro Atlanta's rental market moving forward.

Meanwhile, central banks are shifting strategies, and supply tightness remains a growing concern. Don't miss what could be setting the stage for silver's next big move—listen to the full Market Update now.

Oil prices have edged higher following the recent EU trade agreement with the US, which prevents the imposition of higher tariffs.

Market Update for 22 July 2025.

The real estate correction is here, but is a crash coming next? New data suggests sellers are getting increasingly frustrated as their houses sit—and they've finally had enough. Buyers are ready to pounce on lower-priced homes, but can they actually afford them? If you're investing in real estate, is now the best time in a long time to fight for a price cut or seller concession? We're back with our monthly housing market update, sharing our supply, demand, and home price predictions. Inventory is growing—fast. We're up double-digit percentage points year-over-year. But buyers are starting to catch on, getting back into the market. So, if we've got supply and demand, why are home prices falling—and could they fall even more? With so many homes on the market, are we on a crash course? What's stopping us from seeing double-digit home price declines in the most oversupplied markets? We're halfway through 2025, with a much better outlook on what's to come. Dave is giving a full update in today's episode on home prices, new listings, buyer demand, and the likelihood that this correction goes even deeper, becoming a full-fledged housing market crash. In This Episode We Cover Why sellers are quitting the housing market even as buyer demand grows  The key metric that proves you can get price cuts in 2025 (start negotiating!) The worrying trend for home prices that could foreshadow even more declines  One sector of real estate that is seeing massive distress (and foreclosure problems)  Markets with the best and worst home price trends (markets to target?)

Think you're not ready to buy a home? Think again. In this episode, David reconnects with Sergio and Ali — real buyers who once believed they weren't ready. Their story reveals how fear and misinformation almost delayed their homeownership journey, and how the right support helped them succeed.Imposter syndrome is one of the biggest hidden obstacles facing first-time buyers. Sergio and Ali didn't think they were ready to buy a home — despite solid savings, a strong financial position, and a clear desire to stop renting. When they reached out to David, their hesitation came not from reality, but from fear.This episode revisits their story from episode 276 (where they were anonymously known as “Bob and Bobcat”) and follows their journey all the way to closing day. They share what it took to shift their mindset, how a trusted real estate pro guided them through a cross-country move, and why emotional readiness is just as important as financial preparation.Their insights are honest, encouraging, and tactical — perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, underqualified, or unsure if now is the right time to start. You'll hear exactly how they planned their budget, built confidence, and learned that they were more ready than they ever believed.Quote:“You need a unicorn realtor. You need a unicorn realtor that understands everything, but is also like a marriage counselor.”— SergioHighlights:Why did Sergio and Ali believe they weren't ready to buy? They were navigating a job change and felt uncertain despite already having significant savings.What did David see that they didn't? He recognized they were financially in a strong position and just needed clarity and guidance.How did planning make the difference? Building a financial plan and timeline helped them feel confident and organized.What was so special about their realtor? Their unicorn agent supported them remotely, gave expert advice, and even helped with relationship stress during the process.Why is emotional support critical in homebuying? Feeling supported helped them move past fear and take confident steps toward buying.What challenges came with buying during relocation? They bought remotely while moving to a new city — and relied heavily on their agent for eyes on the ground.What advice do they have for first-time buyers? You're likely more ready than you think, and the right support can make all the difference.Referenced Episodes:Episode 274 — Wait…My Producer Can't Buy a Home?
