When assessing home price momentum, believes it's important to monitor active listings and months of supply. If active listings start to rapidly increase as homes remain on the market for longer periods, it may indicate pricing softness or weakness. Conversely, a rapid decline in active listings beyond seasonality could suggest a market that is heating up. Since the national Pandemic Housing Boom fizzled out in 2022, the national power dynamic has slowly been shifting directionally from sellers to buyers.

Greg Remmers has been named designated broker for Arizona operations, with support from Melissa Dierks and Sandy Karpen.

For the past several years, the U.S. housing market has faced an unusual constraint: not a lack of buyers, but a lack of sellers willing or able to move. Millions of homeowners remain rate-locked, holding mortgages originated in 20202022 at interest rates between 2% and 4% (Federal Housing Finance Agency; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey). While home values have risen, the financial penalty of selling and repurchasing at today's 6%7% rates has discouraged mobility, suppressing inventory and transaction volume nationwide (National Association of Realtors; HousingWire).

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

When two industry giants like Compass and Anywhere Real Estate come together, it's natural for independent brokerages and solo agents to feel uneasy. The word monopoly gets whispered. The fear of being squeezed out creeps in. And many professionals quietly ask the same question: Do I still have a fighting chance? The short answer is yes. The longer answer and the more important one is only if you focus on what you can control.

"It wasn't about finding happiness. It wasn't about chasing success," Serhant told Fortune.

In a housing market defined by high mortgage rates and tight inventory, the very top of the market is still moving-sometimes at jaw-dropping prices.

Housing inventory is expected to set a seasonal low sometime early in 2026, hopefully sooner rather than later. We don't want what happened in 2023, when the seasonal bottom came in April. We would want the seasonal bottom to happen in February: more supply means less price growth and better affordability. However, since mid-June, the inventory growth has slowed significantly, and mortgage rates are at 3-year lows.

One of the most expensive properties in Dublin 4 has gone sale agreed, after being placed on the market by a high-profile doctor and his wife for nearly €7m.

Jobs Friday came and went without much reaction in bond yields because the labor market isn't breaking, nor is it getting stronger. Mortgage rates dropped into the 5s for a short time on Friday as a result of Trump's earlier announcement directing the GSEs to buy $200 billion in mortgage backed securities. The 10-year yield didn't move much after the report.

Industry watchers on both sides of the aisle say President Donald Trump's recently announced goal of banning "large institutional investors" from buying single-family homes won't address the root cause of high home prices: a shortage of homes. Major investors, including hedge funds and private equity firms, own hundreds of thousands of single-family homes around the US, which has raised concerns that Wall Street-backed groups are outcompeting individual homebuyers, especially first-time buyers, and driving up home prices.

According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Bloomberg, antitrust enforcers at the Department of Justice (DOJ) wanted to investigate Compass's recently closed acquisition of Anywhere, but they were blocked by senior officials who wished to green-light the deal. Sources familiar with the situation told both WSJ and Bloomberg that Gail Slater, the head of the DOJ's antitrust division, wanted to undertake an extended review of the proposed merger for potential anticompetitive effects.

This is important in that they'd stop them from buying properties but not necessarily saying sell off.' It's not banning them from owning properties. How it would do that is anyone's guess. What properties exactly are they talking about? I believe it's single-family, but it's also not exactly clear, because when people say single-family, they're often just talking about single-family detached homes. Single-family attached also exists, i.e., townhomes, so it could include those.

I bought my house in 1999 for $145,800, and there still are monthly payments on the home. Normally, within 30 years most people would have their homes paid off, but I had a little slip-up in 2008 when the market crashed. I went from a six-figure income to zero income. I depleted most of my financial resources to hang onto the home.

Fifteen-minute neighborhood, 20-minute neighborhood, smart growth, new urbanism. Right. I think they all are discussing the same thing, come to the same conclusion. And so, you know, how do we create a closer proximity of like housing and those essentials? I think parking lots are a big gap. And so Portland removed parking requirements, which kind of frees up this space to be developed into something else.

Residential construction fell to its lowest point since May 2020, according to an October U.S. Census Bureau report that was delayed by last year's government shutdown. Widening air pockets of demand over the past year led to an overbuild of speculative homebuilder inventory in formerly booming Sun Belt and Mountain West markets. Builders hit the brakes on new production to reset the supply-and-demand balance.

Sectors that showed notable job gains in December include food services and drinking places (+27,000 jobs), health care (+34,000 jobs) and social assistance (+17,000 jobs). On the other end of the spectrum, the retail trade sector lost 25,000 jobs in December. Residential building construction lost 4,200 jobs in December, although employment for residential specialty trade contractors rose by 1,100 jobs. The real estate sector also posted a small increase, adding 2,300 jobs in December.

A secured loan creates access to higher limits and competitive pricing, though it also places your property at risk. You gain clarity once you understand how the charge system operates, how lenders assess equity, and what shapes affordability outcomes. Writers often turn this topic into a maze, so I will keep the explanations tight. To me, it all comes down to understanding the mechanics from start to finish because knowledge in finance tends to cut confusion at the root.

One of these options is buying a home at auction. Buying at auction can move faster than a traditional sale, but it also offers fewer protections for buyers. If you've never heard of buying a house at auction, this Redfin article will outline the process for you.

Indian modernism is often narrated through a narrow lens: a handful of iconic institutions, master architects, and formally radical experiments that came to symbolize the nation's post-Independence aspirations. Yet this version of history overlooks the far larger body of modernist architecture that quietly shaped everyday life across the country. Beyond celebrated campuses and canonical buildings exists a vast, dispersed landscape of housing blocks, offices, hostels, hospitals, markets, and townships - structures that were designed to function and endure.

According to the Housing Partnership, the program is expected to support approximately 1,000 workers each year. The lack of regular paystubs, W-2s or 1099s to document income often puts gig workers at a disadvantage when applying for a mortgage to buy their first home, said Jamie Smarr, president and CEO of the New York City Housing Partnership. The economy has undergone significant shifts for middle-class Americans. The goal for our new Pathways to Homeownership program is to help gig workers, freelancers, seasonal workers and the self-employed with non-traditional sources of income become homeowners.

The listings embedded in the search results included all of the property's details, along with links to request a tour or contact a buyer's agent. In an article published by Barron's last week, a Google spokesperson told the publication the program was a small experiment, and did not specify how long it would last. In an emailed statement, a HouseCanary spokesperson told HousingWire that any reports that the experiment had been shut down were untrue.
