## Resource

In this episode of Real Estate Jerky, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down a sharp jump in national housing inventory, a rise in price reductions, and why sellers still need to price correctly from the beginning. They also cover housing starts and permits, California inventory pressure, local Stanislaus County activity, and why people are finally leaving their ultra-low interest rates behind to make necessary life moves. The conversation also touches on affordability, first-time buyer age trends, and what keeps California housing feeling tight even as inventory grows.
