The Midyear Housing Forecast

Welcome to Real Estate This Week.

Hi again.

I'm Steven Gasper, and I'm delighted you're here as we look at what's happening in real estate right now and what it means to you.

Cutting-edge information from the 26 Midyear Housing Forecast from John L. Scott Real Estate, which has more than 100 offices in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California, and also over 3,000 broker associates.

Joining us now is Lennox Scott, chairman and CEO of John L. Scott Real Estate, a family-owned company that this year celebrates its 95th anniversary.

Lennox, welcome to Real Estate This Week.

Well, thank you, Steve, and it's always a joy to be, uh, together with you.

And I just appreciate you, uh, keeping the conversation alive and about education, what's taking place in the real estate industry.

Well, thank you, Lennox.

That means a lot to me.

And let me just point out that John L. Scott Real Estate looks at all the data of every real estate market for buyers, sellers, and investors every single day.

And right now I'd like to talk about the compilation of that data in your 26 Midyear Housing Forecast: Five Key Concepts for Today's Housing Market.

And I'd like to begin with asking you about number one, AI voice-activated home searches.

Lennox, tell me, has AI really become a big part of real estate?
