In our Replay today, we talk with Bob about his move to his fiancé’s small

house and an innovative way to remake existing space for two work-at-

home people. One bay of the exiting garage became a bar. The 400-

square foot upstairs of the garage became Bob’s space. Maureen calls it

the “doghouse.” If you’re leaning toward improving vs moving, you’ll want

to hear this. In our Horror Story, you’ll learn what can happen to a house

where the pan in the upstairs shower didn’t extend far enough up the wall.

Call it the great shower pan debacle. And in our Featured segment, gain

insights from Dr. Jessica Lautz, vice president of demographics and

behavioral insights for the National Association of Realtors, about why

people are leaving American cities for suburbs and small towns and moving

from one state to another. The patterns are different from a year or two ago,

creating a seller’s market and inventory shortage. Dr. Lautz breaks down

all the reasons why this is happening and why it may continue. If you’re

thinking of moving or buying a rental property, this interview provides

invaluable perspective.
