housing trends: The Power of Data
- 11/17/23 09:43 AM
The Power of Data This week I want to talk about data - yes data! This is not a boring data conversation we are having today because having the right data is crucial to understanding your market and your business success! When you research and you begin to uncover and understand data - whether that is new construction starts in your area or how pending homes have changed from month-to-month, or how your town is updating its comprehensive plan - you will discover new opportunities for your business. Suddenly that data has come to life! Having information has become one … (2 comments)

Where is Housing Headed? 2024 will be a pivotal year for the housing industry. Do you have the information you need to take advantage of tomorrow's opportunities? Robust housing unit goals, mortgage interest rates, energy code compliance, extreme lack of housing inventory, all-encompassing state housing bills, a struggling commercial real estate sector, an uncertain economy, and more have all left their marks on the housing sector this past year. What can we expect for 2024? I have already been digging headfirst into the data, cutting through the hype, and doing the research needed to provide YOU with the full story. … (2 comments)
housing trends: Visually Communicating the Changing Market
- 11/14/22 12:48 PM
Visually Communicating the Changing Market The last six months have seen a lot of change to the real estate market. We have gone from a supercharged sellers’ market with buyers escalating prices tens and hundreds of thousands above asking price and waiving inspections, appraisals, and the works to rapidly-escalating mortgage rates which have applied the brakes to that market. Headlines from the media would have us believe that the market is crashing and that there is a massive real estate bubble about to burst – “it is 2008 all over again!” Potential home buyers and sellers see these sensational headlines … (1 comments)
housing trends: Today, I Eat My Words
- 07/16/20 10:02 PM
Today, I Eat My Words Hi everyone, and welcome to this week's Zebra Report. Today, I get to "EAT MY WORDS". Years ago, when I started the Zebra Report, I had a client of mine ask me if I was nervous about blogging because once I put my thoughts into words I can't take back those words. If I say them and print them, then shouldn't I stand by them? Well technically that is correct, but practically it isn't realistic when things change. It is okay to change your mind and it is okay to change your position on … (6 comments)

housing trends: Multi-Generational Homes: Big-Time Demand!
- 01/15/16 03:33 AM
Multi-Generational Homes: Big-Time Demand! Multi-generational homes are increasing in demand across the country. First I want to explain what a multi-generational home is: It is a home that can have multiple families living under one roof in separate spaces. A multi-generational home could house a married couple caring for an older parent, a grandparent living with an adult grandchild, or even Baby Boomers living with adult children who have moved back into the home. The demand for multi-generational homes has risen in the last few years, partially due to the recession and its impact on the nuclear family. Families … (1 comments)

The Changing Face of Real Estate: Generational Housing The housing needs of the multiple generations living today is changing the face of real estate and new construction. The way we used to live 20…30…40 years ago is not the way we live today … or will in the future. Each generation is demanding a different type of home and a new way of living in that home which then requires an updated floorplan, creating both challenges and opportunities in the real estate industry. Challenges such as needing different storage spaces, outdoor living spaces, working spaces, and public spaces are … (7 comments)
