In this Real Estate Rundown, recorded a week ago, Zach and Patrick break down two major housing stories driving today’s real estate headlines: the federal government reopening after a 43-day shutdown and Trump’s proposed 50-year mortgage plan. They unpack how the shutdown backlog could slow closings, delay USDA and flood insurance approvals, and cloud mortgage rate movements, then dive into whether ultra-long mortgages help buyers or lock them into decades of extra interest. If you care about housing affordability, mortgage trends, real estate investing, or the future of homeownership, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense look at what these moves mean for buyers, sellers, and rookies learning the game.

In this Real Estate Rundown, Zach and Pat unpack two big stories with real-world impact:

1. Why your electric bill is about to spike. It’s not just the weather — rising fuel costs, grid strain, and utility hikes are all in play. We break down how this affects homeowners, renters, and the housing market at large. Link
   
   
2. Maxwell House becomes Maxwell Apartment? The legacy coffee brand is trading its suburban name for something a little more urban. Is this a brand pivot, a cultural signal, or just a PR stunt? We’ve got takes. Link
   
   

Energy costs and branding trends, both tied to how (and where) we live. Let’s get into it.

In this Halloween special, Zach and Patrick dive into two of the creepiest (and most fascinating) properties ever linked to real estate and pop culture: The Overlook Hotel from The Shining and the real-life Conjuring House in Rhode Island.

From Kubrick’s impossible architecture to an actual haunted farmhouse now up for foreclosure auction, we explore what makes these places so legendary and what they’d be worth in today’s market. Could you actually profit from a haunted property? Would you stay overnight in one?

We’ll break down the real locations behind the movies, how horror has become a tourism goldmine, and the wild economics of fear-driven real estate.

If you’ve ever wondered whether owning a haunted house is an investment or a curse, this episode is the perfect mix of chills, history, and housing market insight.

Pat and Zach are back with another Real Estate Rundown episode, breaking down two stories shaping the future of how we search, rent, and buy homes:

Zillow + ChatGPT: The Future of Home Search

The guys discuss what this means for agents, buyers, and how AI might change real estate search forever. Read more: Zillow Group announcement

Gen Z’s Housing Shift
Gen Z is rewriting the rules of homeownership.
