The housing market isn’t simply hot or cold - it’s becoming increasingly divided. In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun and Jack Maher share what they’re seeing firsthand in the Central Arkansas and Nashville real estate markets. Affordable and mid-priced homes are sitting longer, while luxury properties are attracting cash buyers, multiple offers, and bidding wars. They discuss: Why higher interest rates are hurting the middle of the housing market What’s driving demand for luxury and high-end homes How wealthy buyers and retirees are influencing new construction Why remodeling could grow as homeowners hold onto low mortgage rates What today’s buyers want in a new home How builders and real estate investors should adapt to shifting demand Why flexibility and local market knowledge matter more than following national headlines The market is changing quickly. Builders, investors, and contractors who pay attention to where people are actually spending money will have the best opportunity to stay ahead.
