    Episode 26: The Death of Real Estate Commissions?

    In today's video, Rick Powell from The Powell Group dives into the NAR settlement and goes over how Idaho real estate will be changed should the settlement be approved. Are buyer's agents ever going to be paid commissions? Will buyers pay less for homes? Are agents going to leave real estate as a whole? THere is a lot of misinformation about on this topic, Rick read the entire settlement agreement and shares his take here. Don't believe all the headlines and don't think government will pass up the chance to mess things up further than they already are. Disclaimer: we are not lawyers nor are we interpreting the law. We are reacting to the settlement and quoting directly from the document. If you have any questions, check with your managing broker.

    Episode 25: Exposing The 20% Down Payment Myth

    One of the biggest myths in real estate is that you have to have a 20% down payment to purchase a home. To be honest, that's a high bar for most people with today's prices and interest rate environment. Kirsten walks you through what the facts actually are; the average down payment, different types of loans that don't require 20% down, some even have zero down programs. Let's see if you can qualify for homeownership!

    In today's episode, we are diving into what makes and breaks a builder's margin, what the most expensive line items are on a build, how builders are responding to the shifting market and why the relief in the supply chains and labor market had almost perfect timing.
