HOW TO ELIMINATE THE FEAR OF BUYING OR SELLING YOUR CONNECTICUT HOME

Steve Harney and Tom Ferry are going LIVE to address the media’s false narrative about the real estate market.

For months, consumers have been overwhelmed with headlines predicting worst-case scenarios and pushing fear-driven narratives about where the market is headed. These misleading stories often paint an incomplete—and sometimes entirely inaccurate—picture of what’s really happening. To bring clarity, truth, and data-backed insights to agents and consumers, industry leaders Steve Harney and Tom Ferry are teaming up for a high-impact live event designed to set the record straight.

This broadcast isn’t just another market update. It’s a deep dive into what’s actually happening in real estate right now and how to communicate that truth to your buyers and sellers confidently and effectively. With consumer anxiety at an all-time high, agents need accurate information, clear talking points, and a trusted voice that can simplify complex market dynamics. That’s exactly what this special event delivers.

What to Expect From the Live Session

During the broadcast, Steve Harney—a nationally respected housing market expert known for his data accuracy and ability to decode market trends—will address five of the most common questions consumers are asking today, including misconceptions fueled by national headlines. These questions repeatedly show up in agent conversations, buyer consultations, listing appointments, and social media discussions. By the end of the session, you’ll be fully prepared to answer each one with confidence and real, verifiable data.

Here’s a preview of what Steve will be covering:

1. “Are home prices going to crash?”
The media loves to recycle fear-driven predictions, but the data tells a different story. Steve will break down historical trends, national price performance, and the economic fundamentals supporting today’s market. You’ll learn how equity, inventory, and demand intersect—and why a crash is not on the horizon.

2. “Are interest rates ever going to come down?”
Consumers are nervous, and rightfully so, but interest rates don’t move randomly. Steve will explain the forces that shape rate movement, how inflation plays a role, and what the leading forecasts suggest about the path ahead. More importantly, he’ll show you how to help clients make smart decisions now, not someday.

3. “Is now a terrible time to buy a home?”
Despite the fear-based soundbites, many market indicators reveal strong advantages for today’s buyers. Steve will give you the talking points you need to demonstrate the long-term financial benefits of homeownership—even in a market with high rates and tight inventory.

4. “Should I wait for the market to improve?”
Waiting often costs buyers and sellers more than they realize. Steve will discuss timing myths, opportunity costs, and how to explain the true impact of waiting on affordability, supply, and competition. You’ll walk away with strategies to turn hesitant leads into confident clients.

5. “Is the media telling us the truth?”
This is the big one. Steve will break down how national news outlets distort local reality and why real estate is a hyper-local business. You’ll gain actionable scripts and insights to help consumers see beyond the headlines and trust your expertise.

Why This Event Matters More Than Ever

The real estate market is constantly shifting, and every shift creates uncertainty. Whenever uncertainty rises, fear follows—and fear sells headlines. Unfortunately, this environment makes consumers more vulnerable to misinformation than ever before. Many buyers and sellers are making decisions based not on facts, but on fear.

This live session gives agents a powerful advantage:

  • Straightforward data that removes doubt.

  • Credible sources that strengthen your positioning as a local expert.

  • Clear messaging that helps you communicate complex topics with simplicity and confidence.

  • Practical tools to guide hesitant clients through emotional and financial decision-making.

When consumers feel anxious, they look for someone they can trust. This event helps ensure you become that trusted professional.
