Welcome back to another episode of the Real Estate Jerky Radio Show. I'm your host Mike Kelly, and joining me, as always, is the man with the plan, Ed Parcaut. Today we're diving into the latest in real estate, community, and even a bit of politics.
Our market snapshot reveals that housing inventory remains low, with 354 active homes and 297 pending sales—a situation fueled by less new construction and major life changes prompting moves. Watch out, folks; consumer prices are creeping up, and interest rates? Well, they remain a wild card, ever at the whim of the Fed.
Amidst expected rainfall, open houses are surprisingly flourishing, and we'll get into why a little downpour could be beneficial for prospective buyers. Retirement age discussions, small business pressures from wage hikes, and the local economic boost from events are all on the menu today.
We've got a special focus on supporting our veterans with an upcoming event and a nod to the importance of their rights, particularly their right to vote. Speaking of events, stay tuned for our talk on that firewalk challenge—we're pretty fired up about it.
In the state of sunny California, the rich and wealthy are making moves that could leave a gaping hole in the state's pocket—a 68 billion dollar budget shortage to be exact. And as we look for relief, Jeff Bezos is saving big on taxes by jumping ship with a mega yacht in tow.
Transitioning from high finances to high pollen counts, Ed and I will share our personal battles with allergies and the wonders of HVAC filters. Plus, we'll dissect the latest commercials from the Super Bowl and share our critiques of the current political landscape.
Real Estate Jerky is back, answering your burning questions, and we'll sprinkle in some lighter banter about football fans, TV purchases, and of course, the rib-tickling possibility of being preserved in jars.
So buckle up—or should we say, lace up?—because this episode is packed with everything from the serious implications of reverse mortgages to the anticipation of a very hot walk in support of our veterans. This is the Ed Parcaut podcast, where we bring real estate and community to life, and we're just getting warmed up. Stay tuned! Follow Ed on all social media outlets @EdParcaut Need more information?
