Everyone has an opinion about the real estate market. But how much of what we're hearing is reality, and how much is simply perception?
In this episode of Small Towns: Unscripted, we sit down for an unfiltered conversation about what's really happening in North Central Washington real estate, from Lake Chelan and Manson to Wenatchee, Entiat, and beyond.
We tackle the question everyone seems to be asking: How's the market?
From interest rates, affordability, and the growing divide between luxury and middle-income housing to buyer hesitation, seller expectations, inventory challenges, and the future of development, we get into the factors shaping today's market and what they could mean heading into 2027.
We also talk about the realities behind the industry: why not all real estate advice is created equal, the importance of local experience and relationships, what buyers should look for when choosing an agent, and why having access to information doesn't always mean having the right information.
And because no real estate conversation in North Central Washington is complete without a little soapboxing, we get into the challenges of building more attainable housing, development costs, and whether regulations are making it harder than ever to create the homes our communities need.
No crystal balls. No guarantees. No polished sales pitch. Just honest perspectives, local experience, and a little real estate unscripted.
Because there's a lot more to the market than what you see online.
