We also talk about why you should do your research on water heaters, or really anything you have a contractor install. Prices can range from about $529 to $1,200, with major differences in wattage, insulation, and efficiency. Cheap is not always cheap in the long run, and a bad decision today can quietly cost you for years. This episode also covers tax reassessment time and how…","meta_description":"Think your house is worth $1,000,000? 🏡💰 This episode is a real estate reality check for buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners who want straight talk…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3063,"processing_state":"processed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/episodes/is-your-house-really-worth-1-000-000-cash-offers-hst-price-reality/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/is-your-house-really-worth-1-000-000-cash-offers-hst-price-reality.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
