  • Summary

  • Episode 24 (Well and Septic: What Homebuyers and Sellers Should Know):   In The Rundown, Michael and Brad highlight the latest mortgage news and real estate market stats. Michael makes his next prediction for where interest rates are headed. Brad reviews the March year-over-year plus the last 7 days of real estate market activity and how the market is trending.    In The Scoop, we're joined by a special guest - Tim Shotzberger of Homeland Environmental. We discuss the ins and outs of buying, selling, and owning a property with well and septic. It's a deep subject, but hopefully we dispel some myths and concerns.   In this week's The Unreal, we talk about how you water bill can raise your property tax bill, and what to look out for.    In The Spotlight we feature Golden West Cafe in Hampden! A little Southwest and a little Wild West. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Elvis Pancakes!
