Zillow quickly became the first step for buyers and sellers due to their instant connection to tons of real estate information. However, the disruptor ran into some big issues when it tried to add buying and selling to its repertoire. The issue? Not enough hands to make the purchase and selling process as seamless as they wanted. As a result, the iBuyer program was paused then abandoned shortly after. Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo discuss if digital buying programs still have promise in our future and how much longer traditional broker relationships can survive automated home sales.   To learn more, simply visit www.RERadioLive.com.

RERL-1766- Zillow’s Big Flop!

Paying off the mortgage early is that goal all homeowners work towards – and why wouldn’t you? Any form of debt is bad and you’re just throwing away money in the form of interest. Well, mortgage rates are crazy low right now with some rates below 3%, but with inflation pressing upon us those rates could easily rise to 4-5%! Joe Cucchiara argues that just about everyone should have a mortgage and homeowners that don’t should go out and get one while the money is still cheap. Tune in and listen to the benefits of carrying a mortgage when you absolutely don’t have to.     To learn more, simply visit www.RERadioLive.com.

RERL-1764- Is California bad for business?

Ask your financial planner and they will agree that long-term real estate is almost always a good investment as long as the timing is right for you. Even in California where average home prices are notoriously high can real estate be a sound investment; you just need to be more cautious of the type of investment you make. While primary residences are still a hot commodity up and down the state, the pockets of investment areas are quickly shriveling up. Are there any decent areas left to invest in inside California or are those days already behind us? Joe Cucchiara explains why he believes the opportunity for investible non-owner-occupied properties has come and passed in California.     To learn more, simply visit www.RERadioLive.com.

Right, wrong, good or bad, the eviction moratorium is under hot debate right now. After millions of Americans were spared the fear of losing their home in addition to their job when the pandemic hit, the time to unfreeze the ban on evictions and return to something resembling normal life has come – or has it?

It doesn’t matter where we are, Real Estate Radio Live will always be around to bring you the fresh, relevant content you rely on. Need proof? Well, Joe Cucchiara is hosting from Hawaii and longtime guest Jack Russo is calling in from Florida to demonstrate today’s topic. The ability to work remotely has impacted real estate in more ways than you think. Jack points out that people are living more for a series of experiences than they are for the generational buy, hold and pass down ideology of old. The life of being a perpetual traveler is growing, but is there more to this recent surge than a knee-jerk bucket list reaction to the pandemic or will we eventually settle back into home ownership?    Be sure to call in with your questions during the show at 1(800)516-1220 between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. PST on AM 1220 KDOW.

RERL-1757- Joe from Hawaii and Jack from Florida! Now that's remote!

Has the market officially peaked? It’ll be a while until we know for sure, but Joe Cucchiara believes Silicon Valley’s insane sellers’ market has finally hit its lofty ceiling. Right or wrong, what does this information mean for you and does it change your strategy going forward? Going with the assumption that the market is indeed flattening, Joe breaks down what it means for both buyers and sellers if the market has already peaked. Second homes have become a huge interest since the pandemic began, boasting an 80% increase in purchases. As more people head back to the office, impulse purchased properties are going to need some reconsideration. Most consumers will fall into one of three categories when it comes to deciding if you should sell or keep your second home – which group do you belong and what strategy is right for you?   Be sure to call in with your questions during the show at 1(800)516-1220 between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. PST on AM 1220 KDOW.

Nearly 1 in 5 adults in the US has some form of mental illness and there is still much stigma surrounding the topic, both publicly and internally. Admitting to yourself or others that you have a mental illness can be a major battle, so while it is still mental illness awareness month, Joe Cucchiara welcomes in his daughter Rachel Cucchiara to openly discuss her struggles with major depressive and anxiety disorder since she was diagnosed as a teenager. There is no one treatment that flawlessly works for everyone and the process of trial and error can be more than discouraging at times, but it should never be a reason for someone to not seek the help they need. Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness in yourself or others by clicking HERE and contact a medical professional immediately.

Is the housing market ever going to stop rallying? Most likely. The market is all over the place and you could even say it’s carrying the same crazy vibe as the 2005 and 2006 markets. Homes are being fought over and prices are being run up by over 30% of the asking price. No one could possibly have seen this coming, and if they did its probably just pent-up demand from the pandemic, right? Joe Cucchiara turns back the clock and pinpoints several historical reasons why the market is practically exploding at a time when when the future is still uncertain. Other topics include: Major changes to financing second homes and investment properties The future of secondary home markets Greedy Fannie + Freddie Outstanding interest rates   If you wish to contact Joe Cucchiara email him at Joe@RERadioLive.com, call (408)-838-9060 or simply visit www.RERadioLive.com.
