On this episode of the SLO County Real Estate Podcast, Team Sweasey gets candid about the challenges of breaking into the housing market. Whether it’s high prices or rising interest rates, buying a home has always been a stretch—but they explain why it’s often the smartest move you can make to build long-term wealth. They break down historical trends, using inflation as a case study to show why home values rarely drop over time. Plus, they share personal stories about how their own lives might have looked if they’d stayed renters—and what that would have cost them in the long run. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s still worth buying a home in today’s market, this episode is packed with insights that just might shift your perspective.
