Because the headlines can tell you some things, but there's no substitute for the insight

you get from talking to people with boots on the ground making deals happen right now.

So that's what we're bringing you today on On the Market.

I'm Dave Meyer, joined by our expert panel, Kathy Fecky, James Daner, and Henry Washington.

Today, we'll break down four key trends in the real estate market, backed up by real-world

experience. We're going to talk about new construction opportunities, penciling better than

a lot of other strategies, off-market leads becoming more common, properties only selling when

they're priced right, and cash flow actually becoming more available, even for stabilized

properties. This is on the market. Let's get started. Good to see you all. Kathy, how's going? So good. Good to see you all too.
