Listen in as we discuss the Q2 market outlook for home inspectors in 2024. The landscape is changing: a thinning in the ranks of home inspectors and real estate agents has leveled the playing field, offering insights into a market that's slowly rebounding. We'll dissect the complexities of a subtle yet significant transformation—where buyers are opting for modest abodes and the ramifications this has on the spring selling season.

As we peel back the layers of the real estate onion, we uncover a world where homes linger on the market just a bit longer, prompting a resurgence in thorough inspections. No stone is left unturned in our analysis of the National Association of Realtors settlement, potential VA loan complications, and the unusual market patterns emerging in regions such as California. Moreover, we forecast a 'feel-good quarter' ahead and ponder the exciting adaptations needed by home inspectors as they pivot towards direct-to-consumer relationships. Join us for an engaging exploration that promises to arm you with the knowledge to thrive in this evolving environment.
