One smart FSBO strategy? Offer to host an open house for FREE.

You handle the open house and the advertising at no cost to the homeowner. In return, you get the opportunity to meet buyers walking through the door.

Even if they don’t buy that FSBO, they may still need an agent to help them find the right home and that agent could be you.

Give value first. Build relationships. Create opportunities.

Could bad listing data make your property invisible to the next buyer?

AI is changing the way consumers search for homes.

Instead of simply filtering by price, bedrooms, and location, buyers can increasingly ask for exactly what they want from a first-floor primary suite and fenced yard to an EV charger, finished basement, or recent price reduction.

But there’s a catch: AI can only work with the information it receives.

If important property details are missing, inaccurate, outdated, or buried only in the remarks, your listing could be overlooked even when it’s a great match for the buyer.

And with listing data being distributed across MLSs, portals, Google, brokerage websites, apps, and emerging AI-powered search tools, one mistake at the source can travel much farther than it used to.

For agents and brokers, complete and accurate listing data is becoming part of your marketing strategy.

- Great photos get attention.
- Great descriptions create interest.
- Great data may help your listing get discovered in the first place.

The future of real estate search is getting smarter. Is your listing data ready for it?

JULY 2026 HOUSING MARKET REPORT

Today's housing market isn't defined by fear, it's defined by strategy.

Inventory has improved, but the U.S. still faces a long-term housing shortage, which is why many housing experts continue to expect modest home price appreciation rather than a major price correction.

Here are this month's biggest takeaways for real estate professionals:

💎 Home prices remain resilient. More inventory doesn't automatically mean falling prices. Supply is stabilizing, while long-term demand continues to support home values.

💎 Professional representation matters more than ever. In today's competitive market, pricing, marketing, exposure, and negotiation can make the difference between selling and sitting.

💎 Relisting? Change the strategy, not just the listing date. Whether sellers stay with the same agent or choose a new one, success comes from refreshed pricing, stronger marketing, better presentation, and a clear action plan.

💎 Expired listings are a huge opportunity. Millions of homeowners still need the right guidance, not another sales pitch. Lead with data, local expertise, and a fresh strategy.

💎 Oil prices don't automatically determine mortgage rates. While lower oil prices can help ease inflation, mortgage rates are influenced by many factors, including the bond market, inflation, economic growth, and Federal Reserve expectations.

The market is becoming more balanced, not weaker. Buyers are more selective, sellers have more competition, and trusted advisors are more valuable than ever.

Swipe through our July 2026 Housing Market Report for the insights that can help you win more listings, educate your clients, and grow your business.

AI is transforming real estate marketing but are your listing photos putting you at risk?

AI can enhance lighting, remove clutter, and even virtually stage a home. But when does a helpful edit cross the line into misrepresentation?

As MLSs, regulators, and consumer expectations evolve, agents and brokers need to understand the compliance risks that come with AI-enhanced listing photos. Transparency and accuracy are becoming just as important as great marketing. Recent industry discussions and new rules in some markets are already pushing toward clearer disclosure of AI-altered images.

Before you use AI on your next listing, read our latest blog to learn:
✅ Which AI edits are generally acceptable
✅ What could create compliance or legal issues
✅ Best practices to help protect your business and your clients
