What This Episode Covers
This morning at 9:00 AM Eastern, I’m going solo on Real Estate Right Now to cut through the noise of conflicting headlines with a "Facts Only" breakdown of the 2026 housing market. Whether you are hearing that inventory is at a crisis low or a decade high, the truth is that both can be true—it just depends on your zip code.
The discussion gives consumers a framework for asking better questions about why Your Zip Code Matters More. Because real estate decisions depend on the property, finances, location, and timing, the ideas in the episode should be considered alongside current local information.
