Airbnb Rental Revenues Plummet, Listings Outpace Homes for Sale
Airbnb rental revenues are heading south faster than geese in winter, with some cities showing drops as dramatic as 50%!
This might force hosts to sell their homes, adding some much-needed options to the housing marketโ.
To make things spicier, more cities are clamping down on short-term rentals, which doesn't help Airbnb's caseโ.
Despite the drama, folks are still splurging on vacationsโโ. But investors? They're less convinced, as Airbnb's stock took a hitโโ.
Spring selling season's in full swing, baby! But it's less "full bloom" and more "wilting daisy."
Sure, prices rose a bit, but we're still down 1.7% compared to last year, the biggest plunge since 2012. The 20-City-Index is down 3.5% from last June's peak - oof.
And the party's over for half of those cities, with prices going downhill. Seattle leads the "downhill skiing" at -12.4%.
House Hunting is About to Get Harder
So you thought finding a dream pad was tough? Buckle up, it's about to get wilder.
Listings have taken a nosedive, dropping 29% from last year, while mortgage rates are strutting over the 7% line.
Builders are cashing in, but they've been slacking off since the recession, so don't count on them. Bottom line: it's a stagflation party, and you're invited.
