HousingWire

That right there is the most important thing.

So Julie and I wrote an article, it hasn't published yet, in Housing Wire.

And one of the topics was historical perspectives on how people have treated technology in the past.

And we went all the way back to the Gutenberg, the printing press.

I think for homes that are not listed nationally, it stands at about seven and a quarter in terms of the error percentage.

We have a totally different process.

Number one, we are asking the consumer questions about their house, so we're validating some of the information upfront with the consumer.

Then we're also leveraging appraisal data to an appraisal methodology to create those valuations.

So a lot of the times, county records and MLS data and consumer-reported data can be in conflict.

Can working families survive a 7% mortgage? Mortgage rates just crossed 7%.

Mortgage News Daily put the 30-year fixed at 7.07% last Thursday, and by the end of the week, Housing Wire had it at 7.12%.

Back in February, rates were under 6%.

Then the war in Iran sent oil past $100 a barrel, inflation jumped, and the 10-year Treasury shot toward 5%.

So if you, you know, ask AI, like, "Who are the top agents, you know, for s- listing a home in my market?" And you're not in the answer, well, the next step is to ask, what is the source data of, of how it got that? And it's, it's probably gonna come up with Reddit and blog articles and maybe landing pages and other things and, you know.

Well, Dan, the, we talked about this on the show before, and the fact is is for maybe 18 months ago, and I wrote an article for HousingWire about this, that it was leaning into Reddit for resour- for information.

But then it was also, um, I was one of...

I was actually on the phone with one of Julie's coaching clients, and we were trying to figure out why she is the top listing agent in this marketplace, but this other guy that listed, like, two houses in the last 20 years showed up in an AI search, and it's because of Zillow.

Immigration enforcement tightens the squeeze on home builders' job sites.
