## Resource

In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down a new Zillow report showing that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. homes are selling within just seven days. She explains why some listings are moving fast and selling above asking price, while others sit on the market for weeks. Kathy also covers what this market split means for real estate investors, why Midwest cities are outperforming many Sun Belt markets, and how pricing, condition, and location matter more than ever in 2026. If you're watching housing trends, buyer demand, and where opportunity may be shifting, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
