But wait... I thought real estate was about to get better?! This week's tWiRE Podcast dives deep into the biggest real estate headlines shaping 2025. We start with NAR's latest shake-up as industry legend Sherry Chris takes on a key advisory role. The Supreme Court looms large with a potential decision on the NAR vs. DOJ case, a battle that could reshape industry regulations. Meanwhile, mortgage demand has plunged, rates have surged to their highest since July, and homebuyers are hitting pause—waiting for better conditions.

On the flip side, housing affordability didn't worsen for the first time in four years, and new listings have jumped 8%, offering fresh opportunities for buyers. But with supply hitting a four-year high, many homes are sitting unsold. Will homeowners' reluctance to sell continue to lock up inventory?

We'll also explore Amazon's $47K luxury tiny home (yes, it has a rooftop deck!) and check in on Europe's real estate recovery heading into 2025.

Tune in for sharp insights, bold takes, and everything you need to know to stay ahead in real estate this week.
