Moving is out, and improving is in! In this episode of The Digital Download, CAMP Digital's Taylor Hulett and Lindsey Ziegahn break down how the current frozen housing market - driven by high mortgage rates - is shifting consumer behavior. If homeowners aren't moving, how should HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses adapt their marketing to capture high-value jobs?
