| 0:00.0 | Successfully investing in real estate in today's day and age requires staying on top the most recent trends in the industry. |
| 0:08.0 | Because deals are coming, opportunities are there, but it takes a savvy investor to take advantage of it. |
| 0:15.0 | Today, I'm sharing three new trends that you need to be aware of. |
| 0:25.9 | Hey everyone, welcome to On the Market. I'm Dave Meyer, head of real estate investing at Bigger Pockets. |
| 0:30.1 | And today we're going to be covering three big emerging trends that personally I'm following. |
| 0:36.4 | So I'll fill you in on what is actually happening |
| 0:38.9 | and I'll also share with all of you what it means for investors and those of us who work in the |
| 0:45.0 | industry. In today's episode, we're going to first discuss how prices are rising, kind of. |
| 0:51.7 | They're also kind of falling and we'll get into some of the nuances with |

| 1:28.9 | declining? When you look at things nationally, of course, they're going to be different from what |
| 1:33.4 | they are regionally. And even when you look from one data provider to another, some of them |
| 1:39.5 | might say prices are going up and some of them are going down. But just in the last week, a lot of major |
| 1:46.7 | media outlets were covering a headline that national median home prices for existing |
| 1:52.4 | home sales in June rose to their highest level on record, which is $435,300. That's the highest on record going back to 1998, not super unexpected because |
| 2:05.9 | prices generally go up. But it represents a 2% increase in prices from a year earlier, which is |
| 2:14.0 | a lot slower than it has been, and that's something we're gonna talk about, |
