In the New Home Insights podcast from John Burns Real Estate Consulting, John Burns discusses successfully pivoting as the housing market slows and changes.
“In this podcast, I explain why I believe new home sales and construction have ‘run out of steam,’ at levels many deem to be too low,” Burns says.
