The national median single-family existing-home price rose 3.5% from a year ago to $391,700.

I push back too when people claim short-term rentals are pushing prices up - they might play a minor roll, but absolutely the biggest drivers are supply and demand, local economy, the national economic trends.

@Andrew Stringfield fairly decent contract as from national franchised PMC.Typical lack of info though:1) How often will they go by property?

Arguably the entire purpose of having a RE License is to protect the right to commissions and the NAR's intent (National Association of Realtors) was to protect the right of brokers to this compensation.

I have to think there is a charge for that separate of the membership.Although I will say corporate it appears to me is spending money just like a remax would on national advertising I am starting to see them on U tube and on my car radio.

I live in a market which is considered top 5 in the nation for cash flow and the only places you can cash flow at 8% interest rates are areas my wife won’t allow me to travel.

The National Association of Realtors identified Toledo as the nation's hottest real estate market for this year, despite that it has been only a month in 2024, with Cincinnati (mentioned in my last post), Columbus, and Cleveland not too far behind.

@Jason Baker You should look at connecting with CFRI, that is the local chapter of the National REIA.

Without knowing it’s exact location it would be hard for me to give great advice although I can assume by price, it’s probably eastern Baltimore county (Dundalk,Middle river Essex area) I’d probably 1031 into a better property somewhere else in the state.

Its affordability and median home price below the national average make it attractive for investors seeking high returns.
