In this episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, we break down two of the hottest topics in the U.S. housing market right now: the difference between condos and townhomes in today’s market and the real-world impact of the 2024 NAR commission lawsuit on buyers, sellers, and real estate agents across the country.

Condos vs. Townhomes – Which attached home is selling better in 2025? We analyze national housing data and local market trends to explain why townhomes are outperforming condos in pricing, days on market, and financing ease. If you're planning to buy or sell an attached home, this segment could influence your strategy—especially in cities like Denver, Colorado Springs, and beyond.

Real Estate Commissions in 2025 – The 2024 lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) promised sweeping change, but what’s actually different now for buyer’s agent commissions?

Spoiler: much of the hype has not played out in practice, but we give you a grounded breakdown of what has shifted.
