Episode Overview
Is the Hot Springs Village real estate market actually picking up? Join Dennis R. Simpson and top-producing realtor Janae Cook (Taylor Realty Group) as they dive into why “hustle” is the secret ingredient to real estate success in 2026.
From 70s ranch remodels to high-end $899K lakefront estates on Lake Sophia, we cover the full spectrum of living in the village. Plus, we settle the debate: Is there actually a nightlife scene in HSV? (Hint: The pinball machines at Midnight Tavern say yes!)
