Ever wondered why buyers are fighting over the same properties, or who's actually winning in this increasingly combative real estate market?  Brace yourselves, as Brad and our guest Pete Heim not only cranks the numbers to explain this phenomenon, but also lays bare on a surprising trend that Downsizers, predominantly baby boomers, are the ones capitalizing the most.  Their secret weapon? High equity in their homes.  Pete also sheds light on the staggering statistic that a whopping 74% of Americans have over 50% equity in their homes.  Did you know that the net worth of residential real estate in the US sits at a mind-blowing $23 trillion?

Pricing, predictions, and unicorn pricing (yes, you read that right), we cover it all in the second part of our chat with Pete.  We analyze listing prices vs. sales prices.  Wondering if it's better to wait out the current market dynamics or to jump in? Trust us, you don't want to miss our take on this.  We wrap up our conversation with Hugo, where we talk about the importance of buyer's staying in the game, regardless of the competition.   So many ideas and information about this challenging market!

A few months ago I was given the opportunity to host the local edition of "The American Dream" show that spans the United States in over 70 markets.  I'm about to air Episode 2 of American Dream - Selling Reading, PA and I couldn't be more excited to be showcasing Reading, PA and the surrounding communities!  None of this would be possible without the creative forward thinking of Craig Sewing, CEO of American Dream Media.  

Craig Sewing, born and raised in the Midwest, has a passion to “Educate, Empower and Engage with the viewers, on topics related to the American Dream” and he does so by guiding all of the show hosts to go against the grain of the negative media, and instead offer concrete and constructive information to the viewers on topics that matter most to them.

Be sure to check out American Dream TV no matter where you live, work and play!!

Pete's back with Numbers, Stats and OTHER Stuff!! 

Do you think it's fair for someone with a GOOD Credit Score to pay more in fees than a person with a LOW Credit Score?  

There's lots of chatter out there about the LLPA (Loan Level Price Adjustment) that went into effect May 1, 2023.  We break it down so it's easy to understand.

Check out this episode to hear learn more about what the Government has decided for those getting mortgages.

NOTE: May 1, 2023 date for enacting the new LLPA guidelines has been pushed back to August  now to reevaluate the changes.  :)
