Real Estate professionals Jamal and Adam talk about what they are seeing in the Portland spring market, and talk about best practices, how to take advantage of higher rate environments, and other tips.

Real estate is getting louder, messier, and more complicated, but underneath all the noise, the Portland market is showing real momentum. In this episode of the Portland Real Estate Podcast, Steve Nassar and Joe Fustolo break down a spring season that showed up early, with buyers writing offers, listings getting renewed attention, and agents feeling a level of activity that has been harder to find over the past few years. Mortgage rates, cash buyers, low-rate "golden handcuffs," and plain old life events all come into play as the conversation gets into what is actually moving buyers and sellers right now. One of the biggest debates in real estate also takes center stage: private listings. Is restricted inventory really better for sellers, or does it give big companies more control over buyers, agents, and market visibility? With Real Brokerage buying RE/MAX and Compass buying Anywhere Real Estate, mega-mergers raise another question. Do bigger brokerages mean better service, or just more culture clashes, debt pressure, and disruption? Steve and Joe also share practical advice for working agents, including unauthorized showings, strong day-one offers, open house scheduling, key transfers, and video instructions for complicated listings. The bigger picture is hard to miss. The market is gaining traction, the industry is consolidating, and the rules around access, inventory, and professionalism are getting more important than ever. This episode brings a real-world look at Portland's spring momentum, the fight over listing control, and what agents are dealing with on the ground.   Key Takeaways Spring activity arrived early, with buyers writing offers, listings getting renewed attention, and agents feeling busier than they have in years. Mortgage rates near 6% appear to be the psychological threshold that could bring more buyers and sellers back into motion. Economic headlines can slow some people down, but buyers and sellers with real housing needs are still moving forward. Low-rate "golden handcuffs" are still a factor, but some homeowners are beginning to adjust to today's rate environment. Inventory is up, giving buyers more negotiating room and putting more pressure on sellers to price correctly. Overpriced listings are sitting longer, especially when sellers fail to adjust to current buyer expectations. Mega-mergers are reshaping the industry, with Real Brokerage buying RE/MAX and Compass buying Anywhere Real Estate. Bigger brokerages may gain influence, but large acquisitions can also create culture clashes, debt pressure, and agent uncertainty. Private listings and coming-soon inventory are becoming one of the biggest fights in real estate. Restricted inventory may benefit big brokerages more than buyers or sellers by keeping more business inside their own ecosystem. Private listing strategies can fragment the market and make it harder for buyers and agents to see all available inventory. Limited exposure can hurt sellers if a home is not seen by the full pool of potential buyers. Unauthorized showings are a serious professionalism issue because they damage seller trust. Even vacant homes require proper showing procedures because there may be alarms, repairs, tests, occupants, pets, or other access concerns. Strong day-one offers can work, but they need to give the seller a real reason to stop showings. Being the first offer can help because sellers often give that first serious offer the most attention. Video showing instructions could help agents understand complicated listings, especially acreage, luxury homes, shops, gates, alarms, and hidden features. Key transfers should be simple, secure, and convenient, with the key ideally available at the property after recording. Open house scheduling can create confusion when private showings overlap with public open houses. MLS and listing mistakes can spread quickly to third-party sites, making careful proofreading more important than ever.   Connect with Joe Soldera Properties Joe on LinkedIn   Connect with Steve Steve's Team at Premiere Property Group Steve on LinkedIn   Listen to The Portland Real Estate Podcast on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify

The CREA March 2026 release looked like a flat month on the surface — sales down 0.1%, listings down 0.2%, prices drifting lower. But underneath the headline is a real story: a mid-March bond yield spike drove fixed mortgage rates up 30 basis points, threatening to freeze out first-time buyers during the most important sales months of the year. CREA and TD both revised their 2026 forecasts downward, and the regional divergence is now the widest in recent memory, Alberta sitting at 3.2 months of inventory with prices rising, while BC is at 7.8 months with prices falling nearly 6% year-over-year. Nick and Dan break down what the rate jump means for buyers, sellers, and investors, why "balanced market" is a meaningless national average, and where the real opportunities and risks are heading into spring.

Pending home sales have hit their lowest level for this time of year since 2015, as high mortgage rates and rising prices continue to sideline buyers. Meanwhile, sellers are cutting deals: Just 28.5% of homes sold above asking, and the median sale price is nearly $29,000 below the median list price. But with the economy suddenly showing signs of strength, will the summer market prove to be better?

The Minnesota Real Estate market is overall doing well.  Place that predict values toward the end of the year for the most part see the market as being flat on price appreciate. The Spring Market is still where you likely do better for selling then later in the year.

We're halfway through May, and let's be real - this spring market isn't what most realtors hoped for.Deals are dragging. Offers are few. Listings are sitting. Buyers want to move but are hesitant. Sellers want premium pricing, but the market won't support it. And agents? They're feeling stuck - and their income is showing it.So in this episode, we're not ranting - we're resetting.I'll show you how to generate momentum even when the market's slow, how to lead when your clients are frozen, and how the best agents are still getting deals done when nothing seems to be moving.Plus, I share some personal reflections from the recent TRREB Realtor Quest Conference - including a real talk breakdown of what worked, what didn't, and what it all says about the state of the industry.If you're feeling stuck, this one's for you.

It's been the 2025 real estate "busy season" for several months now, and we finally have some data to assess just how busy it has been. Long story short, sellers are very busy, but buyers are still stuck in 2024. However, some conditions are noticeably improving for buyers, albeit without the market completely bottoming out for sellers. That's great news for all parties, and potentially a good sign for the future health of the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson market.  As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at smccune@cdanjoyner.com

Nestled in the charming embrace of Clarke County, Virginia, Lucketts is more than just a market—it's a pilgrimage for many, including Janet, who is excitedly discussing it with Suzanne. It's not just nostalgia that draws people in but a well-orchestrated symphony of vendors, buyers, and experiences. A couple of years ago, Lucketts Vintage Market was an annual event, but now, Suzanne celebrates hosting it twice a year, in spring and fall. This weekend marks the spring event, and they also hint at an eagerly awaited fall edition. The conversation brims with gratitude and nostalgia, shifting gears to how COVID-19 led to the fall edition's inception. It was a hit, Suzanne reminisces, describing how people, tired of being cooped up, flocked to the fairgrounds, making it one magnificent outing. Lucketts Spring Market is a gem featuring a mix of 200 high-quality vendors and committed buyers who know they are in for a treasure hunt. Suzanne articulates the event's fine balance—achieved over 25 years—between a variety-filled yet navigable market. The atmosphere is accentuated with live music, delightful decorations, and special themed setups. This year, vintage quilts hand-sewn into intricate designs grace the entrance, providing the perfect photo op. Each booth, Janet insists, offers its own unique charm—from birdhouses and furniture to artworks and antiques, ensuring that no two visits are alike. Suzanne stresses the importance of the vendor-buyer dynamic, explaining that the success of such an event hinges on balancing top-notch vendors and enthusiastic buyers. The vendors have been meticulously selected over the years, and it shows in the diversity and richness of the goods on offer. People come prepared with carts to ensure they can haul their finds back home. Wagons rented from Blandy are also available to rent. The event is thoughtfully organized so even a rain-soaked day doesn't dampen spirits; Clarke County Fairgrounds provide ample covered space. Parking is no small feat, but the team has it down to a science. Suzanne's son oversees the parking, making one realize the sheer scale of the event. They take great pride in smoothly managing the influx, directing thousands of cars efficiently. This organized chaos contributes to a stress-free experience for attendees, who Suzanne notes are unfailingly pleasant and cooperative. Tickets for Lucketts Spring Market are a hot commodity, especially the VIP early-buyer tickets, which offer access to the best finds before the general public. Suzanne passionately advocates for the nominal ticket prices, emphasizing the tremendous effort and costs involved in staging an event of this scale. From fees for fairgrounds to staff and police, the costs are manifold but reflect in the seamless experience provided. It's not just shopping; it's an outing sprinkled with live entertainment, wonderful food, and beverages, offering a day well-spent for attendees of all ages. Janet and Suzanne's chat meanders through various colorful anecdotes and heartfelt recollections, underscoring Lucketts Spring Market as an immersive experience worth every penny. They talk of Christmas events (at their shop in Lucketts, Virginia) that draw crowds from as far away as Germany and the meticulous teamwork that goes into the market's setup. The event has fostered a tight-knit community of vendors and buyers, turning each fair into a series of joyous reunions. Janet, a passionate fan of Lucketts, captures it best when she says the fair is all about creating and sharing beautiful memories. Suzanne's revelation about the intricate, handmade decorations and the fair's themes each year adds to the anticipation. You understand that this isn't just another market; it's an event built on decades of passion, hard work, and a love for community. For those planning to attend, marking the calendar for May 16-18, 2025, at the Clarke County Fairgrounds is essential. VIP tickets may already be dwindling, but general admission promises a plethora of delights regardless of when you arrive. Detailed information, including ticket availability, can be found on luckettstore.com or luckettsmarkets.com. Whether it's your first visit or a biannual ritual, Lucketts Spring Market promises an exceptional experience that transcends the ordinary. So, gather your carts and your curiosity, and prepare to be enchanted by what Suzanne lovingly describes as the “Goldilocks Fair”—not too big, not too small, but just right.

Matt, Gregg, and Ashley reconvene after a week off to discuss the current state of the lumber market. Charles was out but will be back next week. They analyze whether the market, which has been selling off since the Montreal event, is showing signs of a recovery or merely experiencing a temporary bounce within a bear market. The hosts note a slight uptick in activity for certain lumber items during the week but question if this is significant enough to indicate a broader market shift. They also discuss renewed talks of curtailments, emphasizing the need to monitor these developments closely. The episode offers insights for lumber enthusiasts and market watchers looking to understand the latest trends and potential future directions.

Some markets are heating up. Others are dead quiet. Rates are holding, inventory is tight, and after a federal election that brought zero change - frustration is at an all-time high.Buyers are hesitating. Sellers are stuck in the past. And too many agents?They're just sitting back, waiting for the spring market to “do the work.”But here's the truth: spring isn't saving anyone - it's exposing the agents who aren't doing enough.In this solo episode, I'm diving into the harsh reality of the current Canadian housing market, the mindset mistakes holding people back, and the real reason some agents are closing deals while others are spinning their wheels.We'll talk about what's not working, what is, and how to shift your strategy so you stop blaming the market - and start building momentum.And yes, I'm also opening up about something big: I've been thinking seriously about shutting this podcast down or possibly reducing the frequency. I'm asking for your input. If this show has meant something to you - let me know.

The U.S. housing market is flashing new signs of slowdown—multifamily construction is plummeting, and the spring homebuying season is off to one of its weakest starts in years. In today's episode, we break down Redfin's latest analysis showing a 27% drop in new multifamily permits compared to the pandemic boom, with many metros like Stockton, CA and Colorado Springs seeing construction nearly grind to a halt. At the same time, sky-high monthly payments and economic jitters are keeping buyers on the sidelines, even as inventory ticks up. We'll explore which metros are still building, where demand is drying up, and what it all means for the future of housing supply and pricing power.
