## Resource

In this episode of Real Estate Jerky, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down rising national housing inventory, stronger mortgage application activity, and why California still feels tight even after adding more housing over time. They cover statewide and local Stanislaus County numbers, foreclosure filing trends, affordability pressure, and why sellers still need to price correctly from the start. The conversation also touches on California's long-term housing shortage, buyer demand, and how mortgage rate pressure continues to shape behavior.
