Is the housing market finally returning to normal? In this episode #267, Quinton Harris explains how the real estate cycle moved from expansion to chaos to consolidation and why today’s market may be shifting back toward stability. He breaks down what changed after COVID, what recent mergers signal, and what it means for homeowners dealing with inventory, pricing, and timing in today’s market. “Normal is more clear and more in the future than I’ve seen in the last three years.”
