This week Jefi and Ed discuss the bold predictions made by Brian Buffini, a renowned real estate expert. They emphasize the importance of listening to reliable sources, such as Buffini, rather than relying on media headlines for market information. They debunk the idea of an impending market crash and highlight the strength of the current housing market, with a significant percentage of homeowners having either paid off their mortgages or having substantial equity in their homes. Jefi and Ed stress the need for realtors to educate their clients about the market and discuss the increasing demand from millennials.
