Marty and Max: Is it game over for your investments?
On one of my many business trips to Las Vegas, I was asked if I gambled. My reply was “Absolutely yes. I have a 401K comprised mostly of stocks and bonds. My entire retirement is a gamble.”
Marty and Max: Are we in a double-dip housing recession?
The big question on everyone’s mind is: when will home sales turn around? Are we on the cusp of a double-dip housing recession, or are there signals that 2024 might see a recovery in the housing market?
Marty and Max: Is the market recovering?
The estimated single-family year-end inventory will be around 525k. Our normal inventory peak is in August, however this year it appears that it is November.
Marty and Max: Rawhide real estate marketing
When preparing your home do it the rawhide way. Remember the old country song from many Western movies including City Slickers? It goes something like… “Rollin, Rollin Rollin, Keep those dogies rollin', Head 'em up, Move ‘em out.”
Marty and Max: Drone safety
I have one of the most dangerous jobs in America. I am a professional drone pilot in Idaho. I am not with the FBI or the government, however, I have had more guns pointed in my direction than I can count.
Marty and Max: 2024 Real Estate Market - Boom or Bust?
Nationally we have higher inventory than last year with 546k single homes of the market. New listings are slightly higher than last year at this time and we have slightly more immediate sales. Remember buyers react more to a large change in rates than the actual rate itself. If rates stay the same, there is a huge buyer demand that we believe will result in a significant increase in the number of transactions.
Marty and Max: Q&A to avoid first-time home buyer catastrophes
Marty sits down with local lender Alisha Neff to discuss some of the pitfalls that first-time buyers routinely fall into.
Marty and Max: Escrow, the blind side of real estate
In real estate, there too is a blind side, and this is where things can get a little scary and you too need insurance. Title Insurance. I visited with subject matter expert Jacquelyn Scappini with North Idaho Title to help navigate the nuances of title insurance.
Marty and Max: Inspect over suspect
One of the greatest moments in sports history was when the 1988 Dodgers beat the mighty A’s to win the World Series. Analytics had not yet taken over the game and managers managed with instincts instead. Injured Dodger, Kirk Gibson (Gibby) had just one at-bat, but what an at-bat it was.
