Todd is in the hot seat as Steph picks his brain about the current real estate market and all its surprising twists. In this engaging discussion, Todd Porter from The Sure Group at eXp Realty breaks down the unexpected growth trends and how supply and demand dynamics are affecting prices.

One of the standout insights Todd shares is the importance of timing. He advises that waiting for interest rates to drop may actually backfire, as prices could rise due to increased competition. “You want to marry the price, date the rate,” Todd says, pointing out that the present market offers unique opportunities that shouldn’t be missed.

For potential buyers, Todd highlights the lasting value of buying a house with “good bones.” Homes with strong structural qualities provide a solid foundation for future customization and renovations, he explains. “Any settling and everything else, it’s all done. That’s all settled.” This means buyers can focus on personalizing their homes without worrying about major structural issues.

They also discuss the benefits of consulting with professional lenders who are experienced investors. Steph and Todd agree that a knowledgeable lender can guide you in making informed decisions about buying, selling, or using your home’s equity. Todd adds, “Now is the time to do it as well, because there are so many incentives that they’re putting out there now,” which may make this an especially favorable time for buyers.

Whether you're contemplating a sale, searching for your dream home, or keeping an eye on market trends, this episode is packed with insights for navigating the world of real estate.
