However, recent years have highlighted some of the significant downsides of living in the city. In this podcast, we'll discuss a recent Redfin article that left out some critical cons to living...

7% Rates Killing Local Real Estate Sales
Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker
The recent increase in national interest rates has caused quite a stir in the real estate industry, and it is not surprising that many prospective homebuyers are feeling the pinch. With interest rates hovering around 6.97%, it's no secret that home sales will decline. The real question, however, is how buyers and sellers can navigate this situation to ensure that their interests are protected. In Morgan Hill, San Jose, and Gilroy, the 30-year fixed loan interest rates for those with excellent credit are about 6.46%. While this may seem like a small difference, it can add up to thousands of...

Home Sales And Sketchy Headlines
Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker
When headlines imply things are better than they feel, it is always good to take a closer look. January home sales headlines are a good example. The Latest Headlines In the most recent headlines for the home sales number in January, you could be forgiven for thinking that things are looking up. Sadly, that is not the case. At least, it is not giving the right overall impression as they focus on month to month numbers instead of year over year numbers. So today, we are going to look at the real numbers, but also compare those national and regional numbers to what we are seeing right here in...

National Rent Control? Bad Ideas That Refuse To Die
Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker
The data is clear, rent control does not work. Pushing for national rent control just makes a bad idea worse as the federal government attempts to impose a one size fits all policy for the wide variety of markets across the country. Unintended Consequences National rent control policies, while appearing to be a solution for the affordability crisis faced by renters in many cities, are actually a bad idea in practice. Such policies often come with unintended consequences that do more harm than good to both renters and landlords. Reduces New Construction One of the major drawbacks of rent...

2023 Set To Be A 2007 Crash Replay?
Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker
It is hard not to see all the media outlets painting a tolerable picture of what to expect in 2023. Most of the mainstream folks point to a possible 4%-6% value drop over 2023.

info_outlineWhat is the biggest trick real estate agents use when working with clients? We will discuss that today!
For those of you that have been listening to my show for a while, you know that I take a slightly different approach. In terms of what I consider to be the "Right" way to do things, the current dominant attitude in real estate just does not make the cut. Today, we are going to reveal the greatest weapon that real estate agents will bring out to get you to make an emotional rather than a rational decision. It is a tool that is taught by EVERYONE in real estate. On its own, it is not a bad thing. To one degree or another, we all do it every day. However, when this tool is taken to the degree that you embrace the 'small deception' - which is standard operating procedure in the world of real estate - you are crossing a line that leads to an attitude that too easily can brush the truth aside for more and more critical issues - which is a bad thing. Now you see what I did there? I have teased the point of todays show hard. I am told that this is the way to write show notes! So consider yourself teased! I will not only lay out what this tool is and how it is used against you, but how you should counter it so that you can get what you deserve from your chosen real estate professional. Oh, and for all you real estate agents out there, we will chat about how you can still use this technique, just not be a lying butt head about it.
