We just had an amazing experience helping a past client who's been part of our lives for years, and it really hit home just how important these relationships are to us. This particular journey involved a complex transaction with a 1031 exchange, lots of players, and many moving parts (some of which are still in motion). But our expertise and dedication kicked in, and we made sure everything went as smoothly as possible -- because helping our clients truly feels like we're helping our own family.

One of the biggest challenges in the real estate market right now is (once again) how few homes there are for sale in comparison to the number of people who want to buy them! According to a recent report, active inventory in June was on average 50.6% below pre-pandemic 2017–2019 levels.

When it comes to comparing real estate metrics from year to year, it can be challenging in a normal housing market -- and the last few years have been anything but normal. The variability in the market can make the comparisons less meaningful or accurate, as unpredictable events can (and did!) have a significant impact on the circumstances and outcomes being compared.
