This week on the Knowledge Brokers Podcast, Byron Lazine, Lisa Chinatti, and Tom Toole kick off the episode with their reactions to a Logan Mohtashami article on HousingWire: “The Savagely Unhealthy Housing Market Is Back.”
Related to that was the issue of housing inventory reaching its lowest level since 2012 and what it will take to finally turn the tide and allow construction to begin catching up with buyer demand.
Next was builder confidence, which climbed into positive territory in May, marking the sixth month of improvements.
And finally, Byron, Tom, and Lisa present their top six book recommendations—with a surprise twist. You get six recommendations for agents and six for team leaders.
Stay tuned to the end to hear them all, along with a few additional favorites to add to your list.
