Year-End Wins, 2026 Predictions, and a Christmas Mount Rushmore | Jay Pitts Show Ep. 120

It's our last episode of 2025! In this year-end episode, Jay breaks down a full 2025 recap of the brokerage and his team’s production — what worked, what changed, and what the numbers tell us heading into next year. We also look ahead to Louisville real estate in 2026, debating which investors are likely to find more opportunity: house flippers or long-term rental investors. With shifting inventory and pricing strategies, the answer might surprise you. Plus, we unpack why buyer agents’ commissions increased this year, what that says about representation and value in today’s market, and how agents are adapting in a more transparent landscape. In the tech corner, we discuss a big industry question: Will Google replace Zillow? With Google testing a feature of showing home listings directly in search results, we explore what this could mean for consumers, agents, and the future of real estate portals. And to wrap things up on a lighter note, Jay and Ryan are joined by producer Hannah to share their Mount Rushmore of favorite things about Christmas — from traditions to little things that make the season special. Thanks for listening in 2025, and we'll see you next year!Submit your questions for Jay and Ryan to answer on the podcast here!
