First hour: An update on the Rochester housing market
Second hour: Discussing COVID-19 vaccines in childrenThe Rochester housing market is still booming, but when will it slow down? Local realtors say they are seeing a slight decrease in the number of offers made on properties and in the number of showings, but low inventory and high demand is still an issue. We talk with them about the state of the market, about possible issues related to gentrification, and more. Our guests:

- Lanie Bittner, president of the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors, and associate broker at RE/MAX Plus
- Glynis Valenti, executive director of the South Wedge Planning Committee

In the first seven days of eligibility, federal authorities report that more than 600,000 kids got their first dose. Vaccine trials for children in different age groups are ongoing.
