Get ready for another lively episode of Real Estate Jerky Daily with your hosts Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly! Today, Ed and Mike kick things off battling some hilarious social media snafus before diving into the latest market movements and fresh insights on mortgage rates, employment numbers, and small business optimism.

Ed breaks down the big revision in job numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, revealing how employment growth might not be as strong as it seems—and what that could mean for interest rates and the Fed's next move. Meanwhile, the guys discuss the rising tide of optimism among small businesses, the return to the office in major cities, and what all this means for buyers, sellers, and investors.

They also share some real talk about real estate marketing—yes, those old-school newsletters still work!—and Ed reminds everyone why now could be the best time to make a move, even with so much market uncertainty.

If you're curious about market trends, interest rate chatter, and want a dose of real estate straight talk (with a side of wit), this episode has you covered. Don't wait—tune in now!
