The Real Estate Reboot: Why the Market Looks Weird (But Isn’t Broken)
In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s actually driving today’s real estate market — not predictions, not clickbait, but the real market movers.
I’m joined by special guest Rick “The Wizard”, one of Denver’s sharpest real estate minds, to unpack how interest rates, inventory, and buyer psychology are shaping 2025.
We dive into:
The two different markets we’re seeing — entry-level vs. luxury
Why this is not 2008 (and the data to prove it)
How “recency bias” is affecting both buyers and agents
The rise of builder inventory and what that means for investors
The power of perspective — and why normal doesn’t mean bad
Whether you’re an agent, investor, or just trying to make sense of the headlines, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and how to use it to your advantage.
Tune in, take notes, and let’s raise the flipping bar together.
