Join hosts Ed Parcaut (MBA, veteran, and president of Lending for Living) and Mike Kelly (REMAX Executive Realtor) as they dig into the latest news, numbers, and stories shaping the real estate and mortgage world—right from their Modesto studio.

In this episode, Ed and Mike tackle everything from the recent government shutdown’s impact (or lack thereof) on the housing market to the ongoing California housing shortage and what those conflicting reports really mean. They break down national and local housing inventory and rates, explain why some numbers may seem “scarier” than they are, and share practical wisdom for buyers and sellers in today’s market.

On the lighter side, Ed and Mike share heartfelt stories about the ups and downs of pet ownership, swap tales about front porch living, and even discuss squirrel attacks (!) in Northern California for a little offbeat community flavor. You'll also hear insights into market trends across the country, including what's really happening in Florida and Miami's "bubble trouble."

Whether you're a homebuyer, seller, or just interested in the real estate pulse of California and beyond, Real Estate Jerky gives you the straight talk—with expert advice, a sense of humor, and plenty to chew on.

Tune in for your weekly serving of real estate news, market insights, and a little bit of everything in between!
