The 2026 Homeowner’s Survival Guide: Interest Rates, Labor, and the Delmarva Bubble | You Ask, The PROs Answer | Ep. 69
Episode 69
Monday, 2 February, 2026
This episode marks the launch of Season 3 for the You Ask the Pros Answer podcast. Host Cole and Aaron Rogers, President of Pro Exteriors, dive deep into the 2026 housing market outlook for the Delmarva Peninsula. From Super Bowl predictions to the "Wait and See" trap of interest rates, this episode is a must-listen for homeowners in Southern Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.The "Economic Weirdness" of 2026Aaron and Cole discuss the shift from the "Year of Hesitation" (2025) to what they hope is a year of normalcy. While the national market fluctuates, Sussex County, DE, remains a unique "bubble" due to low property taxes, no sales tax, and its status as a premier retirement destination for folks from Philly, D.C., and New York.Are you waiting for interest rates to drop to 5%? Aaron explains why that might be a losing game. With material costs historically rising 10% year-over-year and labor shortages tightening, the money you "save" on a 1% lower interest rate is often swallowed up by the increased cost of the project itself.With the average trade professional now 56 years old, the industry is facing a massive labor gap. Aaron discusses how tightening immigration regulations and increased OSHA inspections are driving up labor costs, making it more important than ever to hire crews that invest in proper training and safety.Premium over Plastic: Homeowners are moving away from the cheapest vinyl and opting for high-performance, showpiece products.The "Fortified" Roof: How insurance companies are beginning to dictate installation standards.Lead Times: What to expect for windows, doors, and roofing (and why a contractor who can "start tomorrow" might be a red flag).The "Wait and See" TrapLabor Shortages & The Aging Trade2026 Design Trends: Beyond the "Modern Farmhouse"~~~Have a question?
