Airbnb is joining the big leagues next year with an IPO. It had previously announced that it “might” go public this year, but the company has pushed that plan into next year. The experts say it’s probably due to an SEC rule-change request that would give Airbnb hosts an opportunity to participate in the IPO. www.NewsForInvestors.com
In this week's Real Estate News Brief... a big jump in existing home sales, higher mortgage rates, and something called a “sleep divorce.” We begin with economic news from this past week and a month of very active home sales. The latest report on the sale of existing homes shows a 17-year high in August... www.NewsForInvestors.com
The Federal Reserve cut short-term interest rates by another quarter point on September 18th. It was the second rate cut this year to offset a global economic slowdown, weaker business investments, and the effects of President Trump’s trade war with China. But was it enough to appease a President who’s been clamoring for negative rates? www.NewsForInvestors.com
The next recession isn’t expected to devastate the housing market like the last one, but a new analysis shows that some markets are more at risk than others. Redfin used several data points to analyze the risk and came up scores for each metro that indicate which ones are likely to get hit the hardest, and which will stand strong. www.NewsForInvestors.com
Legal troubles continue for former Fox and Friends host, Clayton Morris, but is he grabbing headlines because he did something wrong, or because of his celebrity status? Investors claim that Morris and business partner, Bert Whalen, sold them run-down homes that they promised to renovate but didn’t. The latest headlines are another blow to Morris -- that his real estate business is under investigation by the FBI and two states. www.NewsForInvestors.com
In this week's Real Estate News Brief... President Trump wants the Fed to “go negative” with rates, strict new rent control hits California, and hackers steal $250,000 by faking a CEO’s voice. www.NewsForInvestors.com
A politically-charged battle has begun over housing-finance reform that would also release Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from government control. While Trump administration proposals promise changes that will protect taxpayers from another Fannie-Freddie bailout, preserve affordable home loans like the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, and promote competition in the housing finance sphere, Democrats say the plan will make home loans more expensive and harder to get. www.NewsForInvestors.com
Home buyers looking for a home that’s big enough to raise a family may want to look in the West. Nine of the 11 cities that ranked well for homes that will accommodate a growing family were in Western States. Reno, Nevada, where Real Wealth Network is building homes, ranked second on a list of best cities for family homes, according to Smart Asset. www.NewsForInvestors.com
In this week's Real Estate News Brief... another drop in mortgage rates, what new tariffs will cost U.S. consumers, and a survey on homeownership happiness. www.NewsForInvestors.com
The California Association of Realtors has issued another red alert about rent control legislation that’s gaining support in Sacramento. (1) The association is asking members to speak out against AB 1482 which, it says, will impose rent caps and difficult “just cause” eviction standards on landlords across the state. C.A.R. had previously struck a deal with lawmakers for a more balanced version of the bill, but that deal was tossed out in favor of stricter regulations supported by Governor Gavin Newso
We’ve been hearing a lot about negative interest rates recently, and whether the U.S. is headed there. They’ve been used by other countries recently to fight deflation. A Denmark bank has also become the world’s first to offer a home loan with negative rates. That means that borrowers pay back less every month than what they actually owe. It sounds like quite a bargain for anyone in the real estate business, but negative rates for any reason are probably not something we want to wish for.
In this week's Real Estate News Brief... how a recession would impact housing, what contractors say about the labor shortage, and the best settings for your air conditioner. We begin with economic news from this past week. The latest Case-Shiller report on home prices shows that prices rose at a slower pace in June. Prices in 17 of the cities in the 20-city index only rose a tiny bit. That left the 12-month reading at 2.1% which is down from a previous annual pace of 2.4%.
iBuyers are shaking up the real estate industry with a fast new way to sell your home -- but at what price? iBuyers help sellers avoid the tedious process of listing, waiting for the right offer, and finally selling a home. It’s very convenient to accept an iBuyer offer, but according to MarketWatch, sellers pay a bundle for this service. www.NewsForInvestors.com
A new website helps tenants resolve eviction and repair issues with their landlords. Investors are pouring money into a start-up that helps home buyers make cash offers. And phone apps that make it easy to prove which homes is your primary residence for tax purposes. In this episode, we take a look at some of the latest developments in the world of proptech.
In this week's Real Estate News Brief... the rate cut tug-of-war continues, why mortgage debt is good for your health, and a new Airbnb-like website for your things. www.NewsForInvestors.com
