🚫 Market Meltdown & Insurer Exit

As the office market faces unprecedented declines, a dramatic pull-out by leading insurers leaves major housing markets vulnerable.

Brace yourself! The once-coveted office space market is spiraling downwards, with remote work and pajama-clad employees reigning supreme.

Also, insurers are taking a step back from major coastal properties.

Speaking of which, the soaring home prices may just be losing steam after a 10-year rally.

But it's not all gloom! 2023's real estate leaderboard showcases cities you wouldn't expect; from San Diego's inviting beaches to Austin's lucrative tech appeal.

A 10-Year Rally in U.S. Home Prices Could be Coming to an End

Seems like the housing market could finally be done playing favorites.

And so after a decade of good times, simply owning a house may not be your golden ticket anymore. 

Price of Used Houses now the Same as the Price of New Houses

In a twist worthy of an M. Night Shyamalan flick, used houses now cost as much as new ones.
