In this episode, Adrian Trott and Ariel Kormendy finally reveal the results of our 2024 real estate prediction contest! Last year, we asked our audience to predict the December 2024 average home price compared to 2023. With over 135 Instagram comments and a $100 Visa gift card on the line, the predictions ranged from bold to conservative—and some even outrageous.
We dive into the numbers, discuss the insights behind the market’s behaviour, and analyze how various factors, such as neighbourhood specifics, market conditions, and interest rates, influenced the final outcome. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or just curious about the housing market, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
