Welcome to the Real Estate Jerky Daily! We are your hosts, Ed Parcaut & Mike Kelly. In this episode, we'll be diving into the latest market trends and news, providing you with valuable insights and analysis. Next, we highlight the shortage of tradespeople, particularly in the plumbing and contracting fields. This scarcity presents unique opportunities for women to enter these trades, especially considering that many current tradespeople are nearing retirement. Ed acknowledges the challenging nature of the work but emphasizes the lucrative rewards it brings. Moving on, we address the biggest obstacle in the housing industry: red tape. This issue is particularly prevalent in California, leading to delays and increased costs. We discuss the need for building more homes and reducing construction expenses to make housing more affordable, echoing the sentiments of a Fox News Business expert. Additionally, we explore the decline in shipping costs, the potential wipeout of credit card debt, and the likelihood of interest rate adjustments. Ed delves into how the stock market's performance influences consumer spending, questioning if investments are necessary to experience the "wealth effect." So, sit back, relax, and join us as we navigate through the latest developments in the market.
