Welcome back for a bonus episode to our #HomeForAll Podcast series! In this episode we hear from Jamie McMillen on ACAR's stance on Point Of Sale Inspections and the ways they can affect our local communities.  The Akron Cleveland Association of REALTORS (ACAR) partnered with the Economics Center for Education & Research, University of Cincinnati to assess the impact of point-of-sale (POS) inspections on Ohio’s housing market. These inspections, which require homeowners (or the homebuyer) to complete necessary repairs before a property can be sold or ownership transferred, are a barrier to homeownership, hindering housing transactions, reducing home values, and limiting wealth-building opportunities for homeowners.
