Episode 12 - Homebuyer Mistakes: Top 10 Buyer Blunders

Episode 12 (Now with new and improved adjectives for Michael!):

 

In The Rundown, Michael and Brad highlight the latest mortgage news and real estate market stats. Michael makes his next prediction for where interest rates are headed. Brad reviews the last 7 days of real estate market activity and how the market is trending. 

 

In The Scoop, we talk about the top 10 (+1) home buyer mistakes that we've seen buyers make that can be easily avoided but often cause so much heartache (or at least heartburn).

 

In this week's The Unreal, we talk about the flipflop between Millenials and Boomers. Who do you think made up more of the homebuying market in 2022? The answer may surprise you. Hence the "unreal" concept....

 

In The Spotlight we feature Tio Pepe in Baltimore! Flowing sangria, paella for two, garlic shrimp like you've never had, plus a tip for something to order off menu. They've been doing everything right for over 55 years, and we hope they're around another 55! They're @restaurante_tio_pepe on Instagram. Check them out!
