Adam and Matt Scalena
About this episode

When does waiting for the perfect market moment become a costly mistake? Adam & Matt sit down to ponder that question and unpack the 2024 real estate market - a year where inventory surged 46% while sales volumes remained stubbornly low.

From downtown's struggles to a transformative shift in the investment landscape, this episode tackles the trends that defined 2024 and shapes what's coming in 2025. Have today's buyers missed the bottom? Is 2025 the year investors fall back in love with real estate? And where are the hidden opportunities emerging for the coming year?
