California Inventory Drops Again, Reverse Mortgages, and Rising Rate Pressure

In this episode of Real Estate Jerky, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down another week of housing inventory changes, California market conditions, and the growing conversation around reverse mortgages. They dig into how national and statewide inventory numbers are shifting, why affordability remains a challenge, and what buyers and homeowners should watch as mortgage rates react to oil prices and global uncertainty. The episode also touches on local market activity in Stanislaus County, VA loan water and pest requirements, and why homeowners need to be careful when evaluating reverse mortgage options. If you want sharp market insight with straight talk and a little banter, this one delivers plenty to chew on.
