In this episode of The Complete Agent Podcast, Dave Warburton and James Kendall unpack what they are seeing week to week inside the property market, from standout sales performance to the growing tension around pricing and realism. They explore why activity remains strong in the mid-market “gold dust range,” how communication and questioning shape better outcomes with buyers and sellers, and what agents must do to stay in control during negotiations.

The conversation then turns to the bigger picture. Predictions of a potential 2026 property crash, the role government policy could play in supporting the housing market, and how employment trends may ultimately dictate direction. They also discuss the rapid rise of AI in real estate, separating hype from genuine disruption, and what it could mean for jobs, productivity, and opportunity across the industry.

The central theme is clear. Agents who understand market dynamics, communicate honestly, and adapt early will outperform regardless of headlines.

In this episode of The Complete Agent podcast, the hosts dig into what is really happening in the market right now, why some homes fly, and others sit, and how pricing is still the biggest lever agents can pull. They unpack the realities of protracted negotiations, managing seller expectations, and why agents must understand buyer psychology rather than relying on generic scripts.

The conversation covers why quality marketing and strong branding change perceived value, how to articulate fees without becoming defensive, and how technology and social media are now essential tools for reach and credibility. The overall message is simple. Agents who combine sharp pricing, proper process, and premium presentation will outperform those who just list and hope.
