The most anticipated episode of the year is here: James and Keith’s 2026 Real Estate Predictions.
From bold bets to self-scored report cards, this episode is packed with strategic insight, candid reflection, and a blunt look at where the industry is heading.
In this episode:
- Why Compass + Anywhere changes everything (and who might be next)
- The big moves Zillow could make if inventory keeps disappearing
- Will CoStar keep burning cash—or cash out?
- The fate of NAR, MLS mergers, and clear cooperation
- What happens when AI replaces buyers (but not agents)
- Could someone buy a home using AI alone in 2026?
James and Keith also discuss lawsuits creeping down to the agent level, the future of agent attrition, interest rates, transaction volume, and the creeping rise of humanoid robots. Yes, really.
It’s real talk, sharp strategy, and one of the most unfiltered conversations you’ll hear in real estate.
