In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending August 31st, 2024... a music-to-our-ears inflation report, the “up” side of the down payment, and build-time for single-family homes. Hi I’m Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Before I begin, I’d like to share some exciting news with you! My husband Rich and I are celebrating our book launch at a climbing gym in Denver, and you are invited! It’s free to attend so long as you pre-order our book, Scaling Smart, which you can buy on Amazon. The book launch is September 8th just two days before the book hits the market. If you miss the big party, you can join us for a virtual book launch on September 21st. Check the show notes for information!
