Working and middle-class folks in this community are having a really hard time not only staying, but also finding places to live,

For most Americans, every home purchase is a bit of a gamble. Is now the right time to jump into the market? Can I haggle on the price a bit more? What if mortgage rates drop in a few months? These questions have always made buying a new place feel a little like hitting the blackjack table. For the better part of a century, these implicit bets on future real

According to new data from Realtor.com, the share of U.S. homeowners with mortgage rates over 6% is now greater than the share hanging onto those "ultra low" sub-3% rates. In the third quarter of 2025, 21% of outstanding mortgages carried a rate above 6% compared to the 20% of mortgages with rates below 3%. That change signals a "meaningful shift" from the gridlock that's defined the last few years in the U.S. housing market.

There's a three-story turret, a front porch the size of some one-bedrooms, and a private driveway (with a porte cochere, no less). Wave-shaped dormer windows overlook the Spanish-tile roof.

"They don't build them like that anymore," says broker Joe Brikman,

Relocating an office is a complex undertaking that presents a significant operational challenge for any business. The primary concern for leadership and facility managers is invariably the potential for costly business interruption. Unplanned downtime during a move translates directly to lost productivity, disrupted client service, and diminished revenue. Consequently, a meticulously planned relocation strategy focused on minimising operational disruption is essential for business continuity.

According to Kelman, he made the decision to leave ahead of his firm's second phase of integration with Rocket Companies. We'll start the second, much-longer phase at next week's all-company meeting, which is much-greater scale. Approaching that, I had to decide whether to be at Rocket for years, he wrote. While Redfin was founded in 2004, Kelman came on board shortly thereafter in September of 2005 to serve as CEO.

It all started with billboards. Inglewood approved the placement of digital advertising signs in and around SoFi Stadium, and Kroenke's companies pushed back hard but ended up losing in court. After losing that round, the dispute escalated significantly, with Kroenke now claiming the city owes nearly $400 million for money his group spent on roads, sewer systems, infrastructure upgrades, and ongoing police and fire protection tied to the stadium and surrounding development.

During the lock-in effect period, millions of existing homeowners with ultra-low rates have been financially disincentivized to move or "trade up," i.e., buy a more expensive or larger home, which made the number of homes for sale scarce for would-be homebuyers. This led to younger-generation bidding wars for a limited pool of starter homes and kept many locked out of the market.

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.

"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.

President Donald Trump put big investors who own single-family rental homes in the spotlight this week by announcing he wants to ban "large institutional investors" from buying more of this type of housing. Overall, major investors own only about 2 to 3% of the country's single-family rental housing stock, researchers have found. But they control a much larger share of the single-family rental industry in certain markets, particularly in the Sun Belt.

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.
