This week’s Knowledge Broker Podcast, Lisa Chinatti joins Byron Lazine and Tom Toole to discuss the latest real estate and housing market news, starting with a review of spring home shopping seasons past to see if this year’s buying season will be a bust.
From there, the conversation turns to the rise in pending home sales in spite of low inventory, the two different buyer mindsets, Boomers vs. Millennials, the California mansion tax, and a tale of two housing markets.
Byron, Tom, and Lisa then discuss the best strategy for agents in Q2 and share their thoughts on the class action commissions lawsuit—and how it could affect the market.
