In this episode of Shut the Front Door, Scott and Johnny dive into a pressing topic: uncertainty in the real estate market (and in life). After a big election night, they unpack how national events can cause ripples in the housing market—even in the typically steady Ohio Valley. Join them as they discuss how uncertainty can bring transactions to a halt and why many buyers and sellers are putting their plans on hold, waiting to see where the dust settles. Scott shares insights from his own listings and explains why even fantastic properties have been met with crickets. Johnny reflects on the psychology behind holding back and why it’s often better to make a move than wait in limbo. They also touch on why the Ohio Valley market remains remarkably stable through changes in national leadership and economic shifts.

Tune in to hear why Scott and Johnny believe the market is about to pick up again, how buyers and sellers alike can take advantage of the post-election climate, and why waiting could mean paying more down the line. Plus, enjoy some laughs, personal shout-outs, and a bit of friendly banter about bassy voices and YouTube ad overload. This episode offers practical advice, a peek into the psychology of decision-making, and a positive outlook for the months ahead in real estate.
