☆ Home sales jumped in October, and housing demand is set to pick up from here, NAR says
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-21 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

That's partly due to higher inventory levels, which rose 19% in October compared to last year. Existing home sales rose 3.4% in October, the group said. Sales rose 2.9% year-over-year for the first annual rise since July 2021 when Americans were still in the midst of a pandemic homebuying boom. Despite higher inventory levels, existing home prices have continued to rise, with the median existing home price climbing 4% in October to $407,200. Last week, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate ticked lower but remained elevated at 6.78%, three basis-points higher higher than the 52-week average, according to Freddie Mac.

☆ 5 major U.S. cities where it's easier for Gen Z to afford rent than it was for millennials at the same age
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-20 | by ( Judy Lagrou | In Judylagrou | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

Housing seems to be slightly more affordable for Gen Z renters than it was for millennials at the same age. The percentage of rent-burdened millennials — renters putting more than a third of their income toward housing — peaked at 62% in 2011, according to a recent Zillow study. And although rents remain high, slightly fewer Gen Zers (those ages 18 through 25) are rent burdened today. As of 2022, the latest data available, 58% of Gen Z renters nationwide were rent-burdened, while 60% of millennials experienced rent burden at the same age in 2012, according to Zillow. According to Zillow's analysis, there are a number of major U.S. cities where it's easier for Gen Z to afford rent than it was for millennials at the same age.

To finance the construction of the ADU, Wilder-Abrams took out a second mortgage on her home, as the original mortgage had been paid off years earlier.

In fact, 3 out of 5 of Gen Z renters — those born between 1997 and 2012 — spend more than 30% of their income on rent, according to recent research from Zillow. In some cities, though, researchers found an uptick in rent-burdened young people from a decade before. "It's really tough for young renters," Lee tells CNBC Make It. "High rent burden can set young renters behind financially, impacting their ability to afford other essential expenses, let alone saving up for life goals down the road." Here are the top five cities where more members of Gen Z are rent burdened as of 2022 than their millennial counterparts were 10 years prior, according to Zillow.

☆ Trump's plan to build more homes on federal land could push prices higher, UBS says
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( Kelly Cloonan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Trump's plan to transform federal land into housing will be costly, given minimal existing infrastructure, UBS says. Those policies, plus a set of potentially inflationary proposals, could drive up both home prices and mortgage rates, they say. Trump's plan to transform federal land into more housing seems particularly challenged, the analysts say. The higher rates will likely continue the housing lock-in effect, where existing homeowners prefer to remain locked in at their current lower rates. In prepared remarks on Thursday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the US is in no hurry to cut rates, signaling that mortgage rates could stay higher for longer.

The urban heat island effect means that city temperatures can be several degrees higher than nearby rural regions. But detailed information about urban temperatures is scarce. Today, his company FortyGuard is focused on leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to provide a detailed view of urban temperature dynamics. Ren said what’s most important about urban heat information is how it will be used. “The question is really, who will be the end user of your data, and who will put such urban heat information into their practices?” she says.

My grandparents' vacation cabin in Lake Tahoe is the stuff of legend. My grandparents' little house in South Lake Tahoe, which they bought for $113,000 in 1984, quickly became a haven for my family. Framers of the Tahoe tax measure took inspiration from Berkeley, California, which adopted a vacancy tax this year. Since the city of South Lake Tahoe was incorporated in 1965, it's been populated by a healthy mix of year-round and seasonal residents.

Agents might be emboldened to share listings among private networks of in-the-know brokers rather than market them to everyone. And if the goal is a transparent market that prioritizes consumers, the clear-cooperation policy is a flawed tool. Redfin estimated that in the second quarter of 2019, about 1.7% of listings, or some 18,000 homes, were likely pocketed. In a hot market, it's easier for brokers to market a home off the databases and still get it sold. What has changed since the rule went into effect is brokerages' eagerness to control access to home listings.
