580 Live – Rich the Realtor on Thanksgiving Homes, Market Slowdowns, and the Rent vs. Buy Reality

On this edition of the Dave Allen Show on 580 Live, Dave welcomes Rich the Realtor for a Thanksgiving-week conversation that starts with baked beans, Cornish hens, and green bean casserole — and quickly shifts into the real estate realities facing West Virginians. Rich breaks down the holiday market slowdown, highlights several Charleston and Putnam County listings, and explains contingencies, financing traps, and why young buyers struggle with debt-to-income barriers. The show then pivots to tax questions, 50-year mortgages, property ownership frustrations, and a lively segment with Greg Thomas on political recruiting, statehouse dysfunction, and the 2026 governor rumors swirling around Jim Justice and Patrick Morrissey. Small Business Saturday previews and Rick Cavender’s downtown shop-local push close out the hour.
