Blog—December 23, 2024-9-10—Special Report-Remodelers Show

Back from the trenches of traveling to take some valuable holiday time---I came back and on this Monday and next Monday---we’ll bring in our cast of professional players that will talk about the kind of year we have had with building permits---buying and selling of homes, and even how you keep your home the proper temperature and the warmth it should be.

Among those in the show----Neil King—who became the Building Permit Chief in the middle part of 2024, Teddi Mueller who is the Executive Director of the Home Builders Association---Tony Bachman who has worked with me thru 7-8 years with what is happening in the real estate ranks—now at Coldwell Banker—Todd Boots who served as President of the South Dakota Home Builders—and is still brought into play with the builders---and state officials---Jerry Berg---Intek---and Joe Hansen—Extreme Heading and Cooling—and Steve Swenson—the Handyman.

Consensus on 2024----we are again in the Billion dollar year for permits—and with what Mr. King sees---he says the table isn’t bare---starting 2025.

Joe and Jerry gave their reasons to have the house ready to sell----and how to do it. Something that is special for our listeners. Steve---what people are looking at ---how they keep them trendy----and why Handyman---has the experience and the information that is so special for people to stay trendy, thrifty, and time-ready if there house goes on the market.

We know that the real estate side of all of this is a changing season---more and more people are looking to South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota for a life pace that is far different and generally much friendlier than other big cities along the coast---and it doesn’t hurt our feelings that we are here—to help promote why people should come to this center of the country----to live-make a living—and enjoy many of the things that are already attracting people from virtually everywhere.

Years ago when we created this show----we asked and were able to convince those builders, bankers, real estate professionals, and work force---that we could work together.

We look at the figures---tell the stories----from each expert---and let our listeners decide---on a lot of different fronts---what makes sense for them—today, tomorrow and beyond.
