Episode 121: Fall Real Estate Market Update
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Monday Sep 11, 2023
It’s hard to believe but fall is here, kids are back to school, and the fall real estate market is upon us. There are still many people worried about rising interest rates affecting the real estate market. However, despite higher rates, the market remains competitive with strong buyer demand and limited inventory. Most homes are still selling quickly, often with multiple offers.
While more buyers are showing interest through purchase loan applications, they're still 20% shy of last year's numbers. That means less competition for those hunting for their dream home right now. But here's the twist—when interest rates decide to take a breather those cautious buyers on the sidelines will likely jump back into the game. Brace yourself for a resurgence of multiple offers and high prices.
On the podcast this week, we’ve got a special guest, Annie, a top producer in the Kansas City metro area. We'll be dishing out insights, comparing market vibes, and spoiler alert: The sky's firmly in place in the world of real estate. Let's dive in to all the things!

Monday Aug 28, 2023
Have you been on the Realtor summer break, slacking a little more than you should be and now the kids are already going back to school and you are not where you want to be with your real estate business? We are heading into the fall real estate market at full speed, but don’t freak out yet, you’ve still got time to put your foot on the gas to make sure you’ve got business this fall and winter. At the BPR Experience we planned ahead to take it easy this summer and enjoy the beautiful Minnesota weather, but we continued engaging with clients, sending out emails and prepped the business ahead of time so when we took our foot off the gas, we were able to stay front of mind for when our clients decided they want to make a move. This week we’ve got all our tips for preparing for the fall real estate market to make sure your business is on track and you have a paycheck come January.

It’s hard to believe, but we are in the final weeks of summer in Minnesota. Fall is right around the corner and if you are considering putting your home on the market before the year is over now would be a great time to get things moving to get your home on the market. We are still seeing very limited inventory in Minnesota and many parts of the country so if your home is priced well and prepared well it should sell quickly. Working with an experienced Realtor can make all the difference in having a successful strategy for marketing and selling your home.
One of the biggest things we will advise sellers on is making improvements that maximize your curb appeal and highlight outdoor spaces, especially this time of year, can really help buyers envision what they are buying before Winter arrives. Organizing and decluttering is another very cost effective way to highlight your living space. Also making sure that any needed maintenance and repairs are done so you don’t hit any snags in the selling process.
2023 has seen interest rates remain relatively high and inventory has remained low so while there are some challenges to buying and selling the sky isn’t falling and a trusted professional will be able to guide you through if you are ready to start the process. This week we’ve got all the tips and tricks to get you ready to sell your home. Let’s do this!

Episode 115: What You Need To Know About Threads
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Just in case you missed it over the last couple weeks, Meta has introduced a new social media app called Threads. It’s made a pretty big splash as a competitor of Twitter and while we normally recommend everyone not to go chasing the latest shiny thing we are actually pretty excited and intrigued about this new offering from Meta. There is no denying they are trying to overthrow Twitter with this release and while it is very similar in appearance and function there are some fun and interesting differences that currently make it stand apart. It’s definitely started out with a different vibe and while that could change right now it feels pretty casual and fun. It doesn’t come without some drawbacks of course, but it really does look like it has some promise and it is probably worth a look. This week Kristi is going to break it down and give her thoughts on all of it. Let’s dive in!
