Happy and Healthy Is a Business Model

Closings are down 36% year over year in one week. I've watched agents carry more stress than I've seen in years — and I think I finally know why.

Maybe I'm Crazy

The 21% City

Rates just dipped for the second straight week. So I did the math on what the median Louisville home actually costs per month — and then compared it to what the rest of the country is paying. You're going to want to see the gap.

The Open House Lost To The Red Zone

One in five NFL fans let their team loyalty pick their zip code. Sunday opens lose to kickoff every single week, on schedule, like clockwork. Football doesn't shrink the housing market — it just moves the furniture.

Seven Cardigans

I sprayed lowball offers all over Poshmark fully expecting to win none of them. Seven cardigans showed up at my door — and it's the best letter-of-intent lesson I never meant to teach myself.
