Podcasts about spring market

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.

Are we going to get stuck here or can we look forward to further reductions?   Business Insider reports that most economists and analysts expect rates to fall to around 6% somewhere around the middle of the year.  If inflation continues to stabilize, we should see one or two adjustments down this year.

As promised, here is the discount link for the EXPIRED LISTING LEADS: https://www.redx.com/affiliate/tim-and-julie-harris/ The MBA (Mortgage Bankers Association) forecast agrees that 30 year mortgage rates should fall to somewhere between 6.1 and 6.90% during 2024.  NAR says 6.1 to 6.8% and Fannie Mae predicts that rates will dip to 5.9% by year's end. Should buyers wait? It's not a great strategy when you consider that waiting will mean paying a higher purchase price, a higher down payment and possibly guarantee a bidding war.  The lower the rates go, the more mortgage applications are reported. This means more competition.  If a buyer is highly motivated and qualified, the move is to buy now and refinance later.   Many lenders are offering free refinances for 6 months or a year after closing. REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, alltheleads.com/harris   In January of 2021, rates hit an all-time low of just 2.65%.  This is extremely unlikely to ever happen again, since it was as a result of the government's response to Covid, driving the federal funds rate to near zero and stimulating the feeding frenzy in the housing market that many of you lived through.  THAT was NOT 'normal'!   Remember that no matter what the interest rate is, a saavy buyer can always buy down and lock in a lower interest rate, use an adjustable rate mortgage or simply refinance when rates drop.   2.     Inventory.   Currently, there are about 500,000 single-family homes on the market as active listings.  This is up a half percent week over week, and up 21% from last year, so things are going in the right direction.  That amounts to about 100,000 more active listings versus this time last year.  According to Altos Research, if this trend continues, by mid-year we'll be up by about 40% year over year.
