#10 - The Truth About Michigan's Real Estate Market in 2026
<p>Is it a buyer's market right now? Your aunt's cousin's neighbor read an article that says yes. A national headline says it's the hardest time in history to buy a home. So what's actually true? <br /><br />In Episode 10 of House Rules, Carter and John break down why "is it a buyer's market" is the wrong question entirely. The real answer depends on your zip code, your timeline, and what kind of opportunity you're actually willing to chase. <br /><br />We dig into what's really happening across Michigan right now from Genesee County to Grand Rapids to the Oakland County suburbs, why "stale" listings can be the best opportunity, and why waiting costs more than you think. <br /><br />The bottom line: it's always a buyer's market for the buyer who's prepared. <br /><br />Find us on social media;</p><p>LinkTree: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linktr.ee/house_rules_podcast" target="_blank"><b>linktr.ee/house_rules_podcast</b></a></p><p>IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/houserules.podcast" target="_blank"><b>https://instagram.com/houserules.podcast</b></a></p><p>John Binkowski IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/johnjrealtor" target="_blank"><b>https://instagram.com/johnjrealtor</b></a></p><p>Carter Bastien IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/cleartoclosecarter" target="_blank"><b>https://instagram.com/cleartoclosecarter</b></a></p><p></p><p>House Rules Podcast 2026</p>

#9 - Taxes, Insurance, Repairs, Oh My!
<p>Welcome to the House Rules Podcast, a show specializing in both the Realtor and Loan Officer's perspective on purchasing and owning a home.</p><p></p><p>This episode features the various costs of owning a home, both the set-in-stone costs, and the emergency costs. Preparing for the worst is always the best method for budgeting, but before you buy a home, it's important to give yourself some grace when assuming your estimated costs to own and operate your household, both for guaranteed costs and emergency expenses. While it's important to have a steady income and smart money saving habits, don't stress yourself out over every penny when doing your pre-purchase budgeting.</p><p></p><p>Find us on social media;</p><p>LinkTree: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linktr.ee/house_rules_podcast" target="_blank">linktr.ee/house_rules_podcast</a></p><p>IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/houserules.podcast" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/houserules.podcast</a></p><p>John Binkowski IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/johnjrealtor" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/johnjrealtor</a></p><p>Carter Bastien IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/cleartoclosecarter" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/cleartoclosecarter</a></p><p></p><p>House Rules Podcast 2026</p>
