Have you ever considered widening your search radius to find the perfect home? Join me with guest Pete Heim, in a thought-provoking discussion on the advantages of looking beyond your current geographic area, especially with the holiday-induced decline in the number of houses on the market.  However, it's not all doom and gloom; with interest rates hitting a four-month low, the potential for job growth and a bolstered economy is on the horizon. In the spirit of keeping you informed, we take you on a journey through the world of real estate loans.  Ever thought about assuming a mortgage (only FHA) from a previous owner? We discuss why this could be a viable option for some.  We also compare the housing market data from this year with last year, emphasizing an increase in average prices and days on the market. To keep things light, we introduce a fascinating product called "Magic Mind," a drink that promises to slash stress levels and boost focus – we could all use a little of that magic, couldn't we? #magicmindTo cap things off, we delve into the future of home prices. While a report from Redfin predicts a dip in home prices in 2024, our perspective, based on a survey of 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, is more optimistic. Although there may be a slight decrease in appreciation in 2024, home prices are projected to continue their upward trajectory through 2027.  After considering factors like unemployment rates and inflation, we conclude there's no time for despair in the real estate market. So, join us every Thursday at 7pm for your regular update on the real estate market.
