The Trump administration is considering declaring a national housing emergency as affordability reaches a 40-year low, with nearly half of renters facing cost burden.

The National Association of Realtors is backing bold a...

Homebuyers finally have some power back! During the chaotic pandemic housing boom in 2021, almost no sellers were dropping their prices—only about 11 out of 100 homes had a price cut.

Price cuts don’t always mean values are crashing, but when the number keeps climbing year after year, it’s a clear sign t...

Houses are staying for sale much longer than before, and in some big cities, sales are moving at their slowest pace in years.

New home builders are hitting the brakes, starting fewer houses and filing fewer permits, which means the special...

Fewer people are buying newly built homes, even though prices are going down and more homes are for sale. In June, only a small number of new homes were sold, and that number was lower than last year. The average price for a new home dropped to about $401,800 because builders are making smaller, cheaper homes. There are now more new homes sitting on the market than at any time this past year, giving buyers more choices and less com...

The U.S. housing market is teetering on the edge as once faint cracks are now impossible to ignore. Listings are piling up, sales are stagnating, prices are declining, and builders are backing off entirely. Major metros like Austin and Denver are seeing inventory surges of over 50% from pre-pandemic levels, signaling buyers are retreating while sellers panic. Builder confidence has dropped, land deals are on hold, and new home sale...
