Forget the headlines and social media hot takes. Do you know how to read the numbers that actually measure a real estate market? Join us for a practical discussion about the key metrics investors should follow, including inventory, months of supply, pending and closed sales, median price, days on market, price reductions, list-to-sale ratios, and cash sales. We’ll explain what each number means, how the metrics work together, and how to recognize when a market is strengthening, weakening, or simply shifting. You’ll learn how to turn market data into better investment decisions.## Location: Three Fishermen Seafood Restaurant
