Navigating California's Housing Market: Inventory, Pending Sales, and Pricing Trends Explained

from Real Estate Jerky · host Big Hangry Media, LLC

Join host Ed Parcaut—MBA veteran and president of Lending for a Living—and RE/MAX executive Realtor Mike Kelly for a fast-paced, candid tour through the latest trends and headlines shaping the real estate world. Broadcasting straight from the Smokehouse studio in Modesto, Ed and Mike dive into what's really happening with market inventory (locally and nationally), why the numbers behind inventory can be so misleading, and how regional issues like skyrocketing property taxes and insurance are tilting the playing field for buyers and sellers alike. You'll get frank advice on mortgage fraud (don't do it!), real talk about loan types and what lenders are actually looking for, and insight on why human agents are still so vital in the age of online home searches and AI. Hear updates on California's inventory and pricing, Stanislaus County stats, and the risks and realities facing out-of-state markets like Texas and Florida. Plus, Ed and Mike share a few stories from the trenches, highlight what's impacting insurance rates, discuss the ever-evolving legal landscape, and even touch on some of America's safest (and priciest) cities. Looking for sharp, practical guidance in a confusing market? Ed and Mike give it to you straight—always with a dose of humor and a "jerky" edge.
