� New episode of Venture with Joe & Cody is LIVE — and this one's got real talk for both buyers AND sellers right now.
The Oregon market is doing something interesting: you're either going under contract in days, or you're sitting for months. There's no in between. And one of our agent friends said it best — you just don't know what next week looks like. So if you get a solid offer, take it seriously.
Here's what we got into this week:
� Contingent offers — why they're not the red flag they used to be, and how sellers should actually be thinking about them
� VA loans — can you buy a new home with a VA loan without selling your current one first? (Cody breaks it down and the answer might surprise you)
� Earnest money + zero-down VA loans — what actually happens to your deposit at closing
� Temu putter vs. Scotty Cameron — Cody bought a fake one off Wish years ago and the story does not disappoint
Whether you're in the market or just keeping an eye on things, this one's worth the listen. �
