In this episode of Real Estate Jerky, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down the ongoing housing inventory shortage in California, rising foreclosure headlines, and why those two stories do not necessarily point to a housing crash. They cover national, state, and Stanislaus County inventory trends, explain why pending activity matters, and discuss what happens when only two homes come back to market for every three sold. The episode also explores backup offers, well water testing issues, assumable VA loans, reverse mortgage tools, and why buyers should get qualified instead of assuming they cannot buy. It's another practical, wide-ranging conversation packed with market insight, local knowledge, and the signature Real Estate Jerky style.
