If you've ever felt like your house is running your life instead of the other way around, you're not alone. For over 30 years Angie Hicks–co-founder of Angi–has been hearing about homeowners' hopes and headaches. The takeaway? There's a lot nobody tells you about owning a home. Angie sits down with leading experts, industry insiders, and real homeowners to tackle the questions that keep you up at night. Should you renovate or move? What's actually worth the investment? How do you prioritize when you can't do it all? This isn't about fixing a leaky faucet or chasing Pinterest perfection. It's about making smarter choices, learning from people who've been there, and feeling empowered to make the decision that's right for you, even if it's not the one everyone says you should make. For the generation that grew up trusting Angie, she's still the voice you want in your corner when you need someone who gets it. Whether you're figuring out your first major project or chipping away at that neverending to-do list, this is the show that helps you own your home—instead of letting it own you.

That's not a hot take — it's what CNBC's real estate correspondent Diana Olick will tell you flat out. In this episode, Angie sits down with Diana to make sense of what's actually happening, why it's happening, and what homeowners and buyers should be paying attention to beyond the daily noise about mortgage rates. Here's what we discussed with Diana: • Why the market is as strange as it is right now — and how we got here • The supply shortage nobody is fixing fast enough, and what that means for prices • Why first-time buyers are getting squeezed the hardest • The mortgage lock-in effect: why people aren't moving and what that's doing to inventory • Rates aren't going back to 3%. So what should buyers actually be waiting for? • The markets where you can still buy a lot of house for the money • Why the starter home may not exist anymore — and how that should change your time horizon • What homeowners who come out ahead have in common • How to see past a bad kitchen and buy the bones • Ready to find the right contractor before your next project? ----- Visit angi.com to connect with top-rated pros in your area.
