 Real Talk Real Estate Podcast — New Episode Drop!

You've seen the headlines: "Near-record number of sellers are pulling their homes off the market!"

 Sounds scary, right?

Here's the real talk — it's not.

On this week's episode, we're breaking down what's actually driving sellers to the sidelines, why the data tells a completely different story than the clickbait, and what it means if YOU are thinking about selling right now.

 Spoiler: 5.5% of listings were pulled in May. BUT re-listings are also near record highs. Sellers aren't fleeing — they're regrouping. And existing home sales just posted their biggest jump since December.

This market isn't crashing. It's adjusting. And there's a big difference.

 Tune in, get informed, and stop letting headlines make your decisions for you.

 HOUSE OF THE WEEK  2915 Fry Rd | Jefferson, MD  $650,000 (New Price!)  8 Beds |  3 Baths |  4,044 Sq Ft |  5+ Private Acres

This is not your average listing.

We're talking a ranch-style home on over 5 acres of Frederick County countryside — with a fully separate in-law suite, an oversized 4-car detached garage with a finished upper level, and dining room views of longhorns and horses grazing across the road.

That's not a description. That's a lifestyle. 

 6 beds + 2 baths on the main level  Independent lower-level suite — private entrance, 2 beds, 1 bath, full kitchen  4-car garage + finished bonus space above  Wooded privacy AND cleared open land  Room for horses, gardens, hobbies — whatever you've been waiting for space to do

New price. Rare find. Jefferson, MD.

Let's talk about something every seller is facing right now: closing cost concessions.

Did you know 67% of sellers paid some or all of their buyer's closing costs in 2025? The market has shifted — and if you're thinking about selling, you need to understand what that means for YOUR bottom line before you get to the negotiating table.

On this week's episode, Jay & Andy are breaking it all down: What closing costs actually are (and why buyers are asking for help) When it makes sense to say yes — and when it doesn't Other concessions you can offer instead How YOUR local market should drive the decision

Episode #468 - 6/19/26

 New Episode Drop — Real Talk Real Estate Podcast  + This Week's House of the Week

Veterans — this one's for you.

On this week's episode of the Real Talk Real Estate Podcast, we're breaking down what most Veterans still don't know about their VA home loan benefit — and why it might be keeping them out of a home they could already afford.

Here's what we're getting into:

 $0 down payment — 68% of Veterans don't know this is even an option  No PMI — that's potentially $100–$300/month back in your pocket  BAH & BAS count as income — your allowances could qualify you for more than you think  Lower closing costs — VA loans put limits on what buyers have to pay

If you've served, or know someone who has — this episode is a must-listen. You may be closer to homeownership than you think.

 Tune in now

 HOUSE OF THE WEEK 5861 Tomahawk St | New Market, MD | $575,000
