| 0:00.0 | Everyone is watching the Fed and mortgage rates to indicate what's happening in the real estate market. |
| 0:06.6 | But there's four other signals you should be watching that are actually much more informative on how the market is doing and what to expect. |
| 0:15.3 | Yeah, there's four things, I think, that all need to line up, right? |
| 0:19.3 | If you guys focus on these four things, then you can |
| 0:22.3 | eliminate eliminate a lot of the noise, I think, all right? And the first one is about inventory. |
| 0:27.6 | So I went through 08, like I saw inventory, right? And so there's a lot of stuff going on, |

| 1:17.6 | They just can't afford these mortgage rates. |
| 1:19.9 | But either way, you know, we're not seeing as many home buyers as we are home sellers. |
| 1:24.5 | Yeah. |
| 1:25.0 | And I think the other thing is there's some shifts in the, you know, |
