"There are opportunities everywhere, regardless of what's going on with interest rates." - Michael Ponte

“Affordability is going to be the biggest driver over the next six months to a year. And when things become unaffordable, people have to change, they have to pivot, they have to do something differently.”  - Michael Ponte

“The reality is, if we see some of that inventory starting to creep back up, and the only thing that's going to attract buyers to buy the property is possibly pricing discounts into the property in itself. So, is that something people should be paying attention to? The answer is yes, you should, because this can be huge opportunities.”  - Michael Ponte
