In this episode, the duo dives into the latest California market stats—including surprising jumps in closed transactions, a look at pending sales, and an honest take on why some properties are lingering longer on the market (especially at higher price points). They break down recent shifts in the mortgage world, the implications of rising rates, and the buzz surrounding the new VA Home Loan Reform Act. Tune in as Ed and Mike make sense of consumer confidence lows, inflation jitters, and what it all means for buying or selling a home right now. Plus, you’ll get a candid look at market hiccups, buyer and seller behavior in uncertain times, and why some offers sound good but might not pass the appraisal sniff test.
