The hosts unpack fascinating statistics about pricing strategy, revealing that homes sell for 100% of asking price in the first four weeks, but only 94% after 17+ weeks on market – making a compelling case for accurate pricing from day one.Perhaps most compelling is their breakdown of how housing has performed through six past recessions, with values increasing in four of them, decisively debunking the myth that economic downturns automatically mean falling home prices.
