Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Let's Talk Market Data. For the last several months ever agent has experienced a change in their business. If you are a new agent, you probably are trying to figure how to jump in to the business. Anyone every jumped double dutch? You kept trying to figure out the best timing to jump up. Or how about when you go swimming and you know the water is cold. When do you jump in, being stuck is real. Or how about you want to be successful so badly that you are all over the place.
Again it's not anyone's fault that the market is different. I can't remember being in a situation where, market time has gone up, median sales prices are up, we still have multiple offers, interest rates are up and inventory is low. Even real estate agent went to DC to speak to congress about giving incentives to encourage landlord's to sell their homes. We are all trying to get creative to find more inventory.
