There used to be 18,000 commercial banks in the US before the 80's crash. Now there are a bit more than 4,000. People and businesses rely on banks more than ever, but the need for drive-up, bricks and mortar bank branches has diminished. We don't need drive-throughs or ATMs, but we do need superior electronics. Where do Lending Tree and Rocket Mortgage fit in as banks adapt to the changing needs? We'll ask our experts.
We have experienced several events that have resulted in yet another jolt to smaller and regional banks, including tanking their deposit base and stock prices. Aside from a national crisis in bank confidence, personally I think it's a real loss that Silicon Valley Bank has disappeared, and hope for the best for First Republic - one of the very best niche banks in the country. The fact that their assets are misaligned with their liabilities is not much different than the too-big-to-fail banks, yet they are getting punished for it. The Fed should support all banks if they want true competition...but they don't. Will we see reform and additional regulation? We'll ask our experts.
As the Fed raises rates to combat inflation we are seeing most Americans sitting tight with their low-interest mortgages. As a consequence there is a record-low level of real estate inventory available, and record-low levels of new mortgages and refinancing activity. Banks are making less on each mortgage. We'll ask our experts about the business plan for banks and what will it take to break this cycle that seems to be breaking banks.

Today, the American Riviera remains a favorite of the rich and famous. Tim Allen, Marc Anthony, Ed Asner, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise, Whoopie Goldberg, Jennifer Lopez, Julia-Louise Dreyfus, Steven Spielberg, Eric Schmidt, Dick Wolf, Brian Wilson, Stevie Nicks and Oprah Winfrey are just a few of the Hollywood heavyweights to call Santa Barbara home. Why? Located 97 miles (156 km) northwest of Los Angeles Santa Barbara has a mild climate protected to the south by the Santa Barbara Islands and to the north by the mountains.
There must be more to the recent rise in prices than nice weather. Who is moving in, causing the average price in Montecito to top $5 million? And, why some people are moving out, tempted by a more affordable Texas, Arizona, Nevada Colorado and perhaps looking for what California used to be. We are going to ask two multi-generation Santa Barbarans how the area has changed and what's next for the "American Riviera".

This week we're heading to Hilton Head Island , the famous Sea Pines Resort and the surrounding coastal communities of Bluffton, Palmetto Bluff and Beaufort, South Carolina. Sea Pines Plantation is the original 5,200 acre private gated community established in 1957 by Charles Fraser with 4 golf courses and one mobile phone in a trailer. Some say he invented the modern gated community and environmentally-oriented tourism. Today, the tourism and travel industry in Hilton Head is one of the largest in the country. Sea Pines still dominates the rental market with properties available for rental year-round. But, in recent years, Hilton Head has also developed a large permanent resident population around 33,000 people live on the 55 square mile island (about the same size as Greenwich, CT but half the population)
The real estate market is also quite lucrative, with the mean residential property in Sea Pines selling for about $639,000 as of February 2018.
For more than a decade, Charter One Realty has been the top producing real estate company in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton markets capturing an industry-leading average market share of 20 percent during that period.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Rob Docters on his great new book "Ethics & Hidden Greed".
While unethical strategies may have increased in sophistication and grown harder to detect in recent years, there are still only five categories of these behaviours. Dr. Docters will demonstrate how to recognize the patterns employed by greedy players and provide tactics for combatting all of them.

40,000 listeners rely on Vince Rocco's show for real estate news and insight. Now, gloves off, we interview him.
"Good Morning New York with Vince Rocco" was must-hear radio for most of the last decade in New York. The pandemic happened and Vince turned off his mic for two years. Now, he's back, tan, rested and ready with his new show "Talking New York Real Estate" that airs every Tuesday, the fastest growing show in the city.
26% (80 million) of Americans listen weekly to podcasts.
73% of the U.S. population 12+ have listened to online audio in the last month.
Out of the two million titles reflected in Apple Podcasts a remarkable 26% have produced just a single episode. One and done. That suggests many people fired up their creative juices, especially during the pandemic, and stopped after creating one episode.
Each week, more Americans listen to podcasts than have Netflix accounts.
Almost half (46%) of the U.S. population listens to spoken word audio daily.
