Show notes
Are the price cuts deeper than you think? Do buyers have even more power than we’ve been led to believe?
National housing data tells us one thing, but local-level expertise can paint a completely different picture. While national data points to marginal price cuts, brokers in major markets are seeing significantly more volatile numbers. We wanted to know what’s actually happening in big markets like Austin, Atlanta, Seattle, Tampa, Long Island, and beyond—so we called the actual brokers who do business there and got them on the show.
Today, we’re talking with Justin Hroch, Micah Mortag, and William ODonnell, brokers in the South, Southeast, and Northeast doing real deals for buyers, sellers, and investors. It’s no surprise that areas like the South are struggling, but how is (very expensive) New York faring with a changing political landscape and so many more regulations?
We’re getting into how long homes are sitting on the market, how much power buyers and sellers have, the price cuts you can anticipate, and what to look at before you buy a property in any of these markets.
In This Episode We Cover
Areas of the country seeing the biggest price cuts or bidding wars
What type of properties are selling fast even in slow markets like the South
The cities being buried in inventory where sellers are taking big haircuts on price
One market seeing strong appreciation, even in 2026 (we’re talking 8% price jumps!)
The “sweet spot” properties you can find in each of these areas to make a profit (regardless of how the market moves)
And So Much More!
