About this episode
Predictions feel satisfying—but they can be dangerous when people start treating them like advice. In KT After Dark Episode 4, Steve Cecchetto and Shehriyar Shahzad break down why real estate forecasts are often “doom and gloom” clickbait, how confirmation bias pulls people into narratives, and why the smartest approach is focusing on what the current data says (with a realistic range) instead of making life decisions based on a headline.Watch Everyone Got 2025 Wrong (+ our 2026 Predictions) here: https://youtu.be/V-eP-wKyov8VIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:10 Predictions aren’t advice3:41 Use a 3–5 year plan4:36 The “realtor narrative” problem7:30 How to answer clients professionally9:25 Embrace the truth10:00 Wrap-up: predictions don’t mean crapWatch on YouTube:⁠https://youtube.com/kormendytrott⁠Listen on Spotify:⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21k⁠Linktree:⁠https://linktr.ee/kormendytrott⁠Instagram:⁠https://instagram.com/kormendytrott⁠YouTube:⁠https://youtube.com/kormendytrott⁠Facebook:⁠https://facebook.com/kormendytrott⁠X:⁠https://x.com/kormendytrott⁠LinkedIn:⁠https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealty⁠TikTok:⁠https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrott⁠The Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.
