U.S. Full-Time Employment Is Shrinking. 2.3 Million Jobs Lost Since 2025 Peak

The U.S. economy keeps expanding on paper. Stock prices remain elevated, corporate earnings are strong, and consumer spending has held up, but underneath those headline numbers, one critical measure of economic health is moving in the opposite direction. U.S. Full-Time Employment has fallen to 133.6 million workers—down roughly 2.3 million from its January 2025 peak and […]

Why the 2026 Wage Slowdown is Bad News for U.S. Housing Market

U.S. wage growth just slowed to 3.2% year-over-year in July 2026, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Nashville Airbnb Downturn Enters a New Phase. Investors Take 40% Losses

The Nashville Airbnb Downturn is entering a more painful stage. Some short-term rental investors are now trying to exit at massive losses. One Nashville investor bought a townhouse for $999,000 in 2022. Today, the owner is asking just $599,000. That’s a $400,000 decline, or roughly 40% in four years.

Why Albany, New York Is Now the 2nd Hottest U.S. Housing Market. Inventory Is 50% Below Normal

The 2nd Hottest U.S. Housing Market is not in Florida, Texas, or California. It is Albany, New York, where home values have risen 5.5% year-over-year despite high mortgage rates and weak housing demand nationally. The biggest reason is supply. Albany would typically have around 4,000 homes for sale in July. In July 2026, buyers have […]

Why the Mamdani Exodus Is Not Happening (NYC housing supply hits 8-year low)

Manhattan housing inventory just plunged 14% year-over-year, while the apartment vacancy rate has fallen to only 1.49%. Instead of New Yorkers flooding the market with homes and leaving the city, available housing is becoming even harder to find. That is almost the exact opposite of what many expected from the Mamdani exodus. After Zohran Mamdani […]

These relatively affordable Northeast metros are now outperforming many of the […]

Why the SpaceX AI Boom Isn’t Saving This Housing Market

Elon Musk is pouring billions of dollars into artificial intelligence infrastructure in Memphis. But so far, the city’s housing and job markets are moving in the opposite direction. Memphis is home to xAI’s massive Colossus supercomputer, a project that has rapidly expanded since breaking ground in 2024. Yet the surrounding housing market is now dealing […]

Why the American baby bust is bad news for the Housing Market

America’s Baby Bust is becoming one of the biggest long-term challenges facing the U.S. housing market. Since 2007, America’s Birth/Death Ratio has fallen from 1.77 to just 1.16, a 34% decline in organic population growth. At the same time, pending home sales remain roughly 30% below pre-pandemic levels, raising an important question: how much of […]
