Ep.70 Government Shutdown, Soaring Rates & AI Tools: The Future of Buying and Selling Homes
Season 1 Episode 70
I sat down with Lauren Roberts from RE/MAX Select One to break down what’s really happening in today’s real estate market—and trust me, it’s a mix of chaos and opportunity.
We dive into how the government shutdown is slowing down FHA and VA loans, what it means for homeowners feeling stuck, and how AI is transforming the way Realtors and lenders operate. From zoning laws and new housing bills to commercial real estate risks and the rise of tech-driven transactions, this one goes deep.
If you’re a homeowner, Realtor, or investor, this conversation will help you understand what’s changing—and how to stay ahead of it.
