Have you ever seen a home online and wondered WHY it was “Back On Market?”

In this episode, we’re going to talk about exactly what it means when a home falls out of contract and goes back to the market, how you can find out what happened to that home, and then you will know if that home is a good opportunity or if you should be running for the hills.

For home buyers, this episode has some very practical advice about how to approach making an offer depending on which of the top 2 scenarios you are in. 

#1: First weekend on the market: Anything can happen and a very careful and intelligent approach is necessary if you want a shot at getting that home. The market has slowed, but there are still way more buyers than sellers and it could be competitive. 

#2: NOT the first weekend on the market: If the home is still active by Wednesday after the first weekend… the game has CHANGED. You are not competing with other buyers - and that is a big deal. The more time goes by…the longer that home sits on the market without offers…. The more leverage you have to negotiate. 

Wrapping Up: You need to be working very closely with your realtor so that they can help you evaluate the situation when you find the right home. That way, you know what to expect and what you’re up against. Then you can make a confident decision.

Are we in a recession? Is the housing market in Colorado going to collapse? Is all of my hard earned equity going to go down the tubes?

These are questions that we address in this episode. Find the articles listed below for more information. Technically, we are in a recession but it doesn’t super feel like it. In part because the limited housing supply is keeping the demand strong, and also because unemployment has reached a 50 year low at 3.5%.

So is there a storm coming? Housing values are predicted to continue to rise, but they’re very likely not to go up at the same pace they have been. Only time will tell, but generally speaking real estate is a long game. Holding on to your assets is a great way to build long term wealth.

What's it like to get your first investment property and become a first time landlord? Sergio and I both just became landlords very recently. We used the strategy of moving into a new primary residence and keeping the old house as a rental. In this episode we have a conversation about our experience with the transition and the pros/cons of long-term rentals vs. short-term rentals.

As I'm writing this I realize it sounds like we live together but unfortunately we don't. We're just two Italian guys with similar last names and wives with the same name and we both love real estate, helping people, and podcasting.

Is the market slowing down? There is a narrative in the media that things are slowing. Prices seems to be not as crazy as they were in the summer. There are plenty of people predicting the upcoming bubble-burst. So what's actually going on? In this episode Sergio and I discuss this topic and give real time examples of what is actually happening with buyers and sellers in Denver as we head into the Fall of 2021.
