INSIGHT

Low Inventory Fuels Price Recovery

  • Low inventory plus returning buyer demand creates upward price pressure, especially in markets that fell hardest.
  • Markets down double digits (e.g., Austin, Cape Coral) should see the strongest appreciation this year.
ADVICE

Buy New Construction While Incentives Last

  • Consider new construction now because builders are offering buy-downs and incentives that often beat existing-home pricing.
  • Investigate lender packages and be ready to act quickly before incentives and build volume tighten.
ADVICE

Adopt An 80/20 Listings-First Model

  • Ricky tells agents to focus 80% on listings and 20% on buyers to maximize closed deals.
  • Concentrate lead generation on property owners because listings drive volume and predictable income.
