If you listen to much of the media, you might feel the real estate market is on the precipice of another catastrophic crash, similar to 2008. In this podcast, Brian Buffini, founder and chairman of Buffini & Company, shares the real truth. Using well-researched data and stats, Brian discusses how the market is not crashing but is actually rebalancing back to numbers seen in 2019. He shares his forecast for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, including home prices, median sales prices and mortgage rates.

Brian also offers practical, strategic tips that agents can use when working with buyers and sellers, many of whom also have been led to false beliefs by doom scrolling, to help them understand the true housing market. He also introduces a major new campaign for Buffini clients, “Just 1,” that will help them use the power of working by referral to transform their business.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• The real data on the housing market including current stats and a forecast for 2025 and 2026.

• How real estate agents can help their clients past doom scrolling and navigate them to successfully buying or selling a home.

• How the “Just 1” campaign, based on Buffini’s proven, repeatable system of working by referral, can transform your business and your life.
