Our special guest on the "Hot topic" segment of this podcast was Allan Weiss, Founder/CEO of Weiss Residential Research, creator of an innovative new residential real estate indexes and forecasts technology. Before founding Weiss Residential Research, Mr. Weiss was the co-founder and former CEO of Case Shiller Weiss, producer of the S&P Case Shiller Home Price Indexes and forecasts, which were published regularly in The Wall Street Journal. Allan talks about his latest innovation in forecasting where home prices are heading and when. This opens up new innovative ways how and when homes are bought and sold as well as how to more effectively market to homeowners. This is a "must listen to" program, especially if you and/or your company is in the home purchase market.
