Let’s be real: The real estate world is changing faster than your phone’s software updates. And if you think it’s all about price and location, think again.
In this episode, I break down the game-changing insights from the June 2025 1000WATT Original Research Report — a brutally honest survey of buyers and sellers across the country. This isn’t fluffy marketing talk. These are the real, unfiltered thoughts of the people we actually serve.
Some of what we dive into:
Why trust is still king — but not the only thing.
The shocking drop in the number of people who’d recommend their last agent.
What Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers all agree on (yes, really).

Why Families Are Quietly Moving to Olympia Heights in 2025

Let’s step away from the glitz of Brickell and the bustle of the beach—because this episode takes you somewhere different.
Olympia Heights is one of Miami’s best-kept secrets. Tucked just far enough from the city’s chaos, it offers something a lot of Miami neighborhoods can’t: peace. But don’t confuse quiet with boring.

The family-friendly vibe that makes this area perfect for first-time buyers and longtime locals
Incredible food spots serving up authentic Cuban, Latin, and home-style favorites
Local gems for daycares, schools, parks, and essentials
Why Olympia Heights is attracting not just families—but also creative professionals, retirees, and remote workers
What sets this area apart from flashier Miami neighborhoods, and why that’s exactly the point
If you’re looking for a place with charm, character, culture, and a slower pace of life—this might be your next move.
Oh—and if you're curious how our team helps everyone from first-time renters to high-profile buyers find their place in Miami, you’ll hear a little about that too. 😉

What the Heck Is Going On With the Housing Market? Let’s Look at the Data

In this episode, I’m diving into the latest REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey from May 2025—and trust me, it’s not just numbers and spreadsheets. We’re talking about what over 1,600 real estate agents across the country are really seeing in the trenches of today’s housing market.
Are bidding wars making a comeback? Why are more buyers waiving contingencies again? And what does it say that 28% of homes are selling above list price—even with all the uncertainty?
I’ll break down the biggest shifts from last month, compare what’s changed from a year ago, and give you a pulse-check on things like:
First-time buyers and where they’re headed
Why suburban and rural areas are still king (88% of activity!)
How all-cash buyers are staying strong
The surprising percentage of buyers making offers sight unseen
Oh—and yes, we’ll talk about what it means when inspection and appraisal contingencies start disappearing again. Spoiler: it’s not just about confidence. Sometimes it's straight-up fear of missing out.
If you want a clear, no-fluff breakdown of the market with a few jokes along the way, this episode’s for you.
📊 Key Talking Points for You to Cover (Feel free to riff naturally)
📉 Buyer traffic expectations are down (18%), but seller traffic is holding steady at 27%.

Trump vs. Housing: What Just Happened (and What Comes Next)

It’s only mid-2025, and already housing has been flipped on its head.
If you’re a buyer, seller, builder, landlord, investor—or just someone watching mortgage rates like a hawk—this episode is for you. Because President Trump’s latest wave of housing-related moves? They’re historic. And a little dizzying.
In this episode, I walk you through the chaos and consequences of:
🏛️ The CFPB Meltdown
Trump fired Director Chopra and installed a succession of replacements
The agency’s enforcement power has been slashed—big win for some lenders, big concern for consumers
Lawsuits, staff terminations, reversals of key mortgage rules—and yes, Elon Musk’s team reportedly gained data access at one point 🤯
🏠 HUD and FHA Changes
HUD slashed staff, rolled back fair housing protections, and launched a crackdown on undocumented households in federal housing
FHA loan access now requires citizenship or permanent residency—huge impact on immigrant buyers
Plans to develop federal land for housing are back… but Section 8 cuts are on the table too
📉 GSE Shakeups at Fannie and Freddie
Bill Pulte is now running the FHFA, and he’s making huge changes: board swaps, program cuts, and a public/private exit strategy
Fannie/Freddie are being told to prep for crypto
Pulte even canceled millions in what he called “DEI nonsense”
🛠️ Tariffs and Rates
Massive tariffs on China, steel, aluminum—direct hit to homebuilders
Mortgage rates dropped temporarily because of market panic, but homebuilder stocks tanked
Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are still under court fire, causing uncertainty at every level
📜 Executive Orders and Federal Freeze
Emergency price controls on housing
Federal hiring freeze + mass layoffs
Red tape removals + DEI restrictions across housing agencies
All this—plus a few plot twists that even Netflix couldn’t script.

The Hidden Risk Zones in Today’s Housing Market

It’s 2025. Prices in some housing markets are cooling, and buyers are getting nervous. But here’s the plot twist: we’re nowhere near another 2008.
In this episode, I unpack the latest data on underwater mortgages across the U.S.—where they’re rising, why it’s happening, and why it’s not time to freak out.
🧠 You’ll learn:
Why only 1% of all U.S. mortgages are underwater right now—despite market dips in places like Austin, San Antonio, and Cape Coral
The key difference between now and 2008: very few people bought at the absolute peak
Which recent homebuyers (especially from 2022–2024) are most at risk of negative equity, especially in fast-appreciating Sun Belt markets
Why ultra-low mortgage rates are keeping millions of homeowners stable, even as prices soften
How places like Lakeland, FL and Austin, TX are seeing 10–27% of recent buyers in negative equity territory (yes, you read that right—27% for Cape Coral’s 2023–2024 buyers)
What this means for sellers, investors, and first-time buyers heading into 2026
Whether you're holding, buying, or advising others, understanding this equity snapshot could mean the difference between smart moves and costly mistakes.

Until next time, stay curious, stay grateful, and as always… stay ALL IN!

The Great Non-Move: How Baby Boomers Are Shaping Housing in 2025

So here’s the truth: that mythical “silver tsunami” everyone’s been talking about? You know, the idea that millions of baby boomers are going to list their homes and flood the market with inventory? Yeah… that’s not happening. Not now, not soon—and maybe not ever.
In this episode, we break down:
Why 1 in 3 boomers say they have no plans to ever move
How 67% of boomer homeowners have lived in their homes for over 16 years—and love them
Why older homeowners aren't budging even though home values are high (hint: so are replacement costs)
What this means for younger buyers (and why even 1 in 5 Gen Z & Millennials say they’ll never sell either)
The reality of our aging population: Kids are disappearing, retirees are multiplying, and now in 11 states, there are more older adults than children
And yes… why some folks are blaming Boomers for housing shortages—and whether that’s fair or not
This episode is part real estate truth bomb 💣, part sociology lesson, and part passionate plea to understand what’s really going on behind the scenes of the housing crisis.
