On today’s episode of Real Estate Jerky, hosts Ed Parcaut (Lending for Living) and Mike Kelly (RE/MAX Executive Realtor) dig into the real estate market with their usual blend of expertise and humor, recorded live from their Smokehouse studio in Modesto—construction noise and all!
They discuss why uncertainty in the market may actually be an opportunity for buyers, compare local and national inventory trends (Stanislaus County and Modesto’s numbers might shock you), and explain why new home construction in Manteca is impacting resale values. The duo shares insight into why some markets in the Sun Belt are struggling, while places like Modesto are still tight on inventory.
The conversation turns practical, too—they break down current real estate scams, offer advice on buying homes with siblings or significant others, and even touch on the surprising pitfalls of flipping cheap properties in places like Gary, Indiana or Detroit. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, or just trying to make sense of the headlines, Ed and Mike offer something to chew on.
Tune in for market updates, real-life stories, timeless advice, and even a little country song banter—plus find out which region saw homes as low as $15,000 and why you should always be cautious with wire transfers.
