this Week in Real Estate

Tune in today! We will lead with a big fat "I told you so" for all of our nay sayers and we will talk about the recent hot water that Zillow finds themselves in as they back out of hundreds of ibuying contracts and face shareholder lawsuits. We will of course talk about home prices and what we have seen recently as well as... what happened to home prices?? Are they up or down? Did the rising interest rates deter buying in October?? Join us (The Bearded Men of Real Estate) live every Wednesday as we talk about This Week in Real Estate and add your 2 cents to the conversation!

Zillow sells of 2,000 homes & "Project Ketchup" makes headlines, Investors buy a record $63B in homes and LA tries to stop them while rents surge 10% and builder confidence moves up. Plus we have more info on some changes to real estate agents websites & IDX feeds as well as changes with FHA's manufactured housing loan program and FINALLY a famous squatter's plan is squandered!!
