Show on a Monday. We are excited to have Brent Baker joining us in
the studio here in just a little bit. He sent me the information ahead
of time and I posted it yesterday. We're gonna be talking about single family
I'm trying to think what it's called something program from the city of Seouit Falls.
I posted it. He and I will chat about it here in a
little bit. But if you're interested in the program, it's a way to
help rehabilitate homes. So if you know somebody who maybe is on a tight
income and they're really struggling to keep things up with their home in the city
of Sioux Falls, the city has a program to help out. And I
think it's really cool that that's what Brent would like to share. So we're
gonna chat with him all about that coming up in just a bit. Also,
I want to share this with you as well. We're gonna be chatting
about it over the next month or So there's an event coming up on June
twenty fourth. It's a benefit called Benefit Bags and Pool and it's a draw
Partner High Low Scotch doubles Draw Partner Bags tournament at Rack City Billiards in Sue
Falls. It's coming up on June twenty fourth. Sign Up is at noon
one o'clock start time, So you can enter either the bags entry, the
High Low entry or maybe if you want to do both, you can do

seven Sales and Service Friends of ours, wonderful people and this is a family
that they know. This fundraiser is for this family. And again there's gonna
be food trucks that day, silent auction fifty fifty raffle. Again, we'll

to the John at Heidi Show. Excited have mister Brent Baker join us once
again. Hello sir, how are you. It's a great day in South
Dakota. It is a great day. And Brent is a realtor with clients
First Group and Keller Williams and Sue Falls and we've got something kind of different
we're going to talk about right now. We usually we're talking about things that
have to do with, you know, buying homes and selling homes. But
you told me about this program that this isn't you. This is a city
of suit falls, but it's definitely worth talking about a Seeing Family Rehabilitation program.
And let's kind of talk a little bit about what this program is.
This program that the city has, this is for homes that are in need
of a little care and targeted toward income levels that most people are just really
struggling at. So the city is willing to help with some repairs. There
are some guidelines, obviously, but just to help people keep their homes up
to a certain standard for cleanliness and for maintenance wise, to protect it because
that's shelter is a very important part of it of our lives, and especially
in South Dakota, and a lot of the time this is stuff that you
would want to do, but maybe it's just not in the budget right now
because hey, I can't afford to do it. That's why I haven't done
this. There's some assistance available to maybe help you get that thing done correct,
correct? You know, sometimes it's that it's not a budget issue.
Sometimes it's simply not knowing who to turn to or what needs to be done.
We don't all come from the same background. Yeah, but the city
is willing to make some repairs for you, and so my advice to people
is is to get in touch. It's soup Falls dot org, slash planning
dash, development slash Planning dash affordable Housing. I'll put a link to that
too. There's a lot going on there, but there's a lot there,
but I will put a link to it to make it really easy to find.
And in the information that you handed me at it says what work it's
eligible, so repair or replace, faulty plumbing, repair places, faulty heating
system repair place, faulty electrical warren or leaky roof? What else? Screen
doors, storm doors, you know, so a lot of the things that
you know. Maybe again, some of these things can be very, very
spendy and it's not necessarily something that's on the budget for everybody. Also,
I see necessary painting, insulation, winterization, and handicap accessibility. So if
you'd like to know more about this, again, I'll throw a link on
our Facebook page to make it really easy to find. But this is something
it's called the Single Family Rehabilitation Program. I see there's an application on here
and if you have a question, you can also reach out to the City
of Sioux Falls, correct and there is a phone number six oh five three
to six seven eight one eight zero and that is the housing general line nice
and again a single family rehabilitation program from the City of Sioux Falls. So
we'll throw some information about that on our Facebook page to make it really easy
to find. And we should probably since we've got Brent Baker in the studio
talk a little bit about the real estate market and like, this year is
different than last year. But what kind of year are we having for twenty
twenty three when it comes to selling homes? Is it a good year to
sell a home, a good year to buy a home? Yes, Inventory
is down, okay, and there are stowcases of multiple offers driven by the
fact that we have very low inventory. Now a lot of people are struggling
with well. Interest rates are up, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the
price of housing is going to come down something, because demand is very very
strong in a growing city. Yeah, and that one of the things that
you can also keep in mind. I remember we bought this home at a
time when interest rates were you know, not bad at all, but there
was a time we did buy a home when interest rates were high, and
then we refinanced it a few years later. So when interest rates you know,
because again, that's one of those things where you go, do I
wait to buy the home when interest rates are down, but now I can't
get to home because the one I want is no longer available. So you
kind of want to just make sure you think that through as well. Correct.
And the conversation I've had with people is housing is a must for everybody.
Shelter of some form is a must, and you can't avoid that.
So you can pay rent and continue paying somebody else's mortgage, or you could
pay rent and start gaining some equity, not to mention control over your environment.
Yeah, we get caught up in the price of things, but the
reality is that number rarely rinks. Yeah, so always keep in mind that
in a few years, in all probability, that home will be worth more
than what you paid for it and you'll look a lot smarter down the road.
Are the rare exceptions, Yeah, but they're rare. Absolutely. If
somebody has a question about buying a home or selling a home and they'd like
to reach out and talk to somebody that knows what they're talking about, I
suggest, Brent, Brent, how do they get a hold of you.
I can be reached at six zero five three one zero zero two ninety seven

for stopping inswer Hey. It's always a pleasure. John Again, Brent Baker,

day and Sue Falls history, brought to you by the Suit Falls Fund Page
and Sunny ninety three point three. It was on this day May twenty second,
nineteen thirty four, that a request by South Dakota Governor Tom Berry was
granted by the Federal Relief Administration, creating a eight hundred and twenty acre co
op farm right along forty first Street in the early days of the Dust Bowl
and the Great Depression, all of the land currently occupied by Century Theater,
Walmart, Menard's, Sam's Club Home Depot, Lake Lorraine, Hobby Lobby,
and other major retailers at local shops in that area. It was federally administered
farmland, the land where Barnes and Noble now sits, where family homes and
the administrative office buildings were put up. The entire project was roughly bordered by
forty first Street on the south, Louise to the east, Marion to the
west, and Skunk Creek to the north, all leased out to dozens of
families and forty acre plots. The families worked their own forty acres, but
shared equipment and machinery amongst themselves. The program thrived and continued well into nineteen
forty four, until the rebounding economy and World War two made it obsolete.
In nineteen forty four, plots of land were put up for sale, with
families currently enrolled in the program having the first rights to buy. So the
next time you're sitting at the intersection of forty first to Louise and you see
all of the traffic zipping along, the huge retail stores in every direction,
and the hustle and bustle of the city life, try to picture acres and
acres of crops, dirt roads and tractors. Then get to driving before people
start honking at you. This day in Sioux Falls History has been brought to
you by Sioux Falls Funpage dot com and Sunny ninety three point three. How

to you by Genesis gooldirea dot com. Equity markets rebounded last week as investors
began to embrace the new normal. The new normal is a time of high
interest rates, high inflation, and tepid economic growth, punctuated by the ups
and downs of a rolling bear market. The S and P five hundred gained
more than one point six to five percent for the week and broke above the
forty one fifty level, which is significant. The move could lead to a
higher high, possibly as high as forty three hundred, but a move higher
than that is questionable. The news of the week came out of the retail
sector. Retail results are mixed, with consumers shifting towards staples and away from
discretionary items and the big box diversified names are the only winners. Footlocker,
a purely discretionary name, not only gave a week report but guided the entire
year lower, and that may be echoed this week as the second half of
the retail sector issues their reports. You could get the inside track in your
inbox at Marketbeatminute dot com. Insurance chicken dot com wants to know how much
