Episode notes
Portal vs. Seller Control Battle
- Zillow is excluding listings that appear elsewhere before a full MLS posting, forcing a fight over private pre-market sales.
- The dispute frames whether portals or sellers control marketing access and how that affects buyer information.
Use Days-On-Market As Your Signal
- Watch days-on-market and inventory levels to judge local market health rather than national headlines.
- When days-on-market are low and prices rise, Kamini Rangappan Lane says that signals strong demand despite perceived sluggishness.
National Stats Hide Local Reality
- National statistics mask regional and price-segment differences like Florida's longer days on market.
- Kamini notes inventory is still below pre-pandemic norms and prices keep rising in desirable metros.
