Summary

Home listing prices have been falling for weeks, and it’s not just sellers who are getting fed up. Real estate agents have finally decided to call it quits, with many reaching their breaking point and leaving the industry altogether. But a glimmer of hope is on the horizon for the market, as one of the biggest housing bills in years just passed the House of Representatives. Could this get us back on the right track? Welcome back to this week’s headlines episode. If you thought the deals couldn’t get any better…well, it’s your lucky day (or weeks). Home listing prices have now fallen consecutively for over a dozen weeks. Buyers aren’t buying what sellers are selling, and the deals are getting sweeter. If you’re a seller, we have some crucial tips your average agent won’t tell you to start a bidding war on your property, even during a slow market. Agents have finally decided to step away from the industry altogether, but a new housing bill could spark some life back into the housing market—this is good news for buyers! Finally, we’re going over the states with the lowest property tax bills—but are any of them worth investing in? In This Episode We Cover Huge changes coming to the housing market? A monumental housing bill that’s making its way to the President’s desk Are these sellers serious? Why listing prices are falling nationwide for weeks on end The great real estate agent exodus (and why good agents are sticking around) The states with the lowest property tax bills (and how to ensure yours won’t jump) James’s undeniable loathing of the Seattle, Washington permitting department And So Much More!
