In this episode of The Jay Pitts Show, we’re covering a mix of real estate news, industry shakeups, and a little seasonal fun.

First, we break down the latest moves from Donald Trump aimed at limiting large institutional investors from buying single-family homes—and what that could mean for everyday buyers, housing supply, and long-term affordability.

Next, we dive into the Compass–Anywhere merger and what a deal of this size signals for the future of real estate. From consolidation and technology to agent leverage and brokerage competition, we talk through how this could reshape the industry over the next few years.

To wrap things up, we lighten the mood with our Mount Rushmore of favorite things about spring—from longer days to fresh starts and everything that makes this season a reset for life and business.

In this episode, we break down the November 2025 real estate market update for Lake Forest, Louisville, Kentucky — one of the city’s most popular and consistently in-demand neighborhoods.

You’ll learn how many homes sold, what prices are doing, how long homes are staying on the market, and what the current inventory looks like heading into the end of the year. We also discuss buyer demand, pricing trends, and what the latest data means whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market.

If you’re considering a move in Lake Forest, this update will help you understand where the market stands and how to make smart decisions in today’s shifting real estate landscape.

It's our last episode of 2025! In this year-end episode, Jay breaks down a full 2025 recap of the brokerage and his team’s production — what worked, what changed, and what the numbers tell us heading into next year.

We also look ahead to Louisville real estate in 2026, debating which investors are likely to find more opportunity: house flippers or long-term rental investors. With shifting inventory and pricing strategies, the answer might surprise you.

Plus, we unpack why buyer agents’ commissions increased this year, what that says about representation and value in today’s market, and how agents are adapting in a more transparent landscape.

In the tech corner, we discuss a big industry question: Will Google replace Zillow? With Google testing a feature of showing home listings directly in search results, we explore what this could mean for consumers, agents, and the future of real estate portals.

And to wrap things up on a lighter note, Jay and Ryan are joined by producer Hannah to share their Mount Rushmore of favorite things about Christmas — from traditions to little things that make the season special.
