From Redfin:
U.S. Home Prices Grew 0.4% in February, the Slowest Pace Since July
U.S. home prices grew 0.4% from a month earlier in February on a seasonally adjusted basis, equal to the slowest pace since July 2024.
Home prices were up 5.1% on a year-over-year basis—the slowest pace since August 2023.
This is according to the Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI), which uses the repeat-sales pricing method to calculate seasonally adjusted changes in prices of single-family homes. The RHPI measures sale prices of homes that sold during a given period, and how those prices have changed since the last time those same homes sold. It’s similar to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Indices but is published more than one month earlier. February data covers the three months ending February 28, 2025. Read the full RHPI methodology here.
Prices have grown between 0.4% and 0.6% month over month in 13 of the past 16 months.
Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari said while home prices are rising steadily, year-over-year growth has slowed for 10 consecutive months, dropping from 7.5% in April 2024 to 5.1% in February.
“There’s some good news for both buyers and sellers as we enter the Spring homebuying season. The recent decline in mortgage rates and slowing price growth is bringing more home hunters off the sidelines, an encouraging sign for potential sellers,” he said.
“At the same time, some areas of the country have turned into fully fledged buyer’s markets, where homes are sitting longer and people are able to negotiate a good deal under the list price. That’s particularly the case in several Florida and Texas markets where the number of homes on the market has ballooned and prices are now starting to fall,” he said.
Eight (16%) of the 50 most populous U.S. metro areas—nearly all in Florida and Texas—recorded a seasonally adjusted drop in home prices in February, year over year.
The biggest decline was in Tampa, FL (-6%), followed by Austin, TX (-3.5%) and Fort Worth, TX (-2.4%). The highest year over year gains were recorded in Detroit (20.9%), St Louis (12.6%) and Pittsburgh (12.6%).

Dear European plebs,
Gone are your vacation weeks, your cradle to grave healthcare, your free college, your extended maternity benefits.
You need to pay your master, Donald Trump.
Damn, that is gonna hurt. Plus it won’t be long till you go back to your roots, the tribes you came from, as you aren’t going to stick together, remember Brexit?
Back to the Goths, the Franks, the Celtics, for you.

Trumpsky unsuccessfulsky.
So much for the 24 hr bullski. Putin ain’t biting on the lure you have used so successfully on other fish.
Y’all realize that Trump really is an example of the greed of the average American. He is Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi all wrapped into one.
You got the president you deserve and voted for. Now go back to your cat videos and war movies, the party is over, boomer is headed to be worm food, and the legacy boomer left their children should haunt them till their last breath and beyond should there be such a non-existant place.
President Donald Trump has warned that American troops ‘could be’ involved if Russia’s war on Ukraine escalates to ‘World War III’.
Trump, 78, issued the stark warning on Fox News on Tuesday, just hours after he spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin for ‘almost two hours’.
‘We want to get it over with,’ Trump said of the war during his interview with The Ingraham Angle host Laura Ingraham, admitting that ‘Russia has the advantage’.
The Republican, who claims his call with Putin went ‘great’, pushed the Kremlin leader to accept to a full 30-day ceasefire to no avail.
Dark Phoenix,
The German Parliament just passed in increase in borrowing to support the defense sector. The Trump effect. With an aging population it will be interesting to see how this effects social services. The average German does not get a great pension upon retirement. Most people aren‘t Siemens engineers or highly paid civil servants. There is an aging and shrinking population with maybe 25% of the population have a migrant background. Germany is getting ready to change in significant ways. You can already see the mentality change of the next generation by the trash on the streets and graffiti spray painted on the sides of buildings. Now everyone wants a good work/life balance. In other words they don‘t want to work.
Trumpsky taxsky the Middle Classkey.
No soup for you.
Gonna be more homeless than ever soon enough. Plus the ability for the PoPo to beat them up legally.
Why the hell should they care? Take away someone’s future, they just might kill you.
I’d pardon someone for doing that.

VSG,
Instead of working you do realize you should have been at your monitor with one hand on the mouse, the other on your member, carefully watching the stock market in order to make sure to move your money the instant your American Oligarchs complete their electronic trades to steal from you.
How dare you walk away and do something productive for society you f’n dolt. You deserve to be poor.
And just wait till your American Oligarchs get your Social Security privatized and in the rigged game they call the Stock Market, where people like Pelosi have the info to win every time. How do you get to be part of that tribe?
SloJoe disappeared off the face of the earth. Never seen an ex-President no one even talks about anymore.
Is he in some nursing home playing bingo with the other residents or something?
I mean, he hasn’t even fallen off a bike or anything in the news?
So glad that cu nt is gone.
Just a thought.
How long would it take the US Military to take over Canada?
You know, some shock and awe over Montreal , Toronto and Ottawa?
How long before the Canuks have their hands in the air?
Full blown assault, I’d wager America could take them in a couple of months.
Trumpsky don’t get any ideas. Actually I’d bet you already asked your advisors this question.
Oh, poor Trump, got ghosted by his pal Putin. That’s gotta sting.
That part where Putin launches missiles at energy infrastructure in Ukraine, right after the call where the White House said they wouldn’t, that was just [chef’s kiss].
Wasn’t this the thing that Zelensky was trying to tell y’all about?
Trump policies ‘promise’ an economic downturn

‘Stagflationary’
Administration officials, from the President to his top economic lieutenants, have not specifically pushed back against the possibility of recession from their policies. President Trump has said there would be a “period of transition,” while the Commerce Secretary had said a recession will be “worth it” for the gains that will eventually come from the policies.
Recessions are often the result of unexpected shocks to the economy. The surge in optimism following the election of President Trump, followed by the recent sharp drop off in some surveys, suggest that both businesses and consumers were unprepared for the extent and even the nature of some of the policies now being pursued.
Canada has never maintained or possessed weapons of mass destruction.
AI says so.
You are sitting ducks for an angry Trumpskee.
Someone should get Trump totally wasted just to see what crazy shite he would do with all of his oligarch powers.

Weekly mortgage demand pulls back, as interest rates rise for the first time in 9 weeks

After a strong streak of gains, mortgage demand pulled back last week. An increase in mortgage rates, as well as increasing uncertainty about the economy, were the likely culprits.
Total mortgage application volume dropped 6.2% from the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s seasonally adjusted index.
The biggest decline was in Tampa, FL (-6%), followed by Austin, TX (-3.5%) and Fort Worth, TX (-2.4%). The highest year over year gains were recorded in Detroit (20.9%), St Louis (12.6%) and Pittsburgh (12.6%).
Build it and they will come… sort of. I’m not surprised about the latter cities listed above. I always thought Detroit was just waiting to happen. I read recently that Gary, Indiana was a real shit hole, expect more places like this to rise from the dead. In our area, not many bargains left. Irvington? Parts of Newark or the Oranges?

I’ll tell you, one thing I learned about people when I had my real estate license.
People are generally disgusting and filthy.
I can’t tell you how many houses I walked through that looked like they housed homeless squatters, and at the same time had a closet full of Laboutin shoes and a BMW in the driveway.
Talking about showers and bathrooms so disgusting I’d get a tetanus shot if I ever needed to use it.
Was one I was in once in Paramus that had dog shit everywhere inside. Another one that had plates of old food everywhere that were completely moldy. Talking about owners actually in these homes at the time, literally zero thought in their mind about maybe even remotely being embarrassed by the filth and squalor they lived in. I’m not so sure they even saw any of it anymore.
Why are there piles of tiles in a bathtub? And are there no no name cleaners with bleach available in that town?
They probably popped off the wall or ceiling, that wall is rotted and buckling and looks like it’s ready to collapse.

If his 401k collapsed, he was leveraged in hyped trash
2023 Performance:
For 2023, the average total return for 401(k) plans administered by Vanguard was 18.1% (median, 19.2%), while the personal return was 17.6% (median, 18.9%).
People are generally disgusting and filthy.
Amen. It drives me crazy. I often wanted to slap the house tour guides for telling me to see the potential. Any time I saw something in the house that was offensive, another 10K knocked off the price. I saw piles of dog shit as well. Chesterfields, Rheingold and cabbage air freshener is not the most appealing scent.
The average retirement account had returns of about 18% in 2023—we’re still waiting for data for 2024, but given stock and bond market returns, they should have been as strong or stronger—marking another robust year for many retirement savers.

10year @ 6.5% this year. Let’s goooo!
Watching your 401(k) plan savings recede as stocks slide can be gut-wrenching, sparking anxiety about whether you’ll ever be able to retire.
Since his Jan. 20 inauguration, President Trump’s tariff barrage has spooked investors and soured consumers on the economy, with many fearing that his trade policies will trigger inflation and slam economic growth. The S&P 500 last week briefly moved into so-called “correction” territory, meaning the index had tumbled 10% from its most recent high.
“First of all, you aren’t alone — a lot of people are panicking,” TIAA wealth management director Doug Ornstein told CBS MoneyWatch.
Panic about the market? WTF? That guy is a hack.
There was overallocation to the U.S. It has been unwound. That’s it.
Now the reason for the reversal to the norm sucks. Trump has pissed a lot of global investors, making them rethink their preferences.
The market selloff is 60-70% caused by Trump in the short term
Still Trump is polling well. We are not done.
Steve Witkoff had a seven hour phone call with Putin. I would love to listen in and gauge the dynamics. The fact that talks are even happening is monumental.
It’s unprecedented what the Trump administration has accomplished in 60 days. This looks more like private sector moves within a corporation than anything that resembles government obesity. Absolutely amazing to watch progress unfold on a daily basis.
Market has looked great since 2008 since we turned on the infinite money glitch
I’m not sure having lower debt, if it actually happens, is going to make any real difference when the rest of the world is equally as drunken on debt.
As to progress? Sure Trump has caused massive disruption in everything with virtually no measurable returns. So far, it’s been one big show of vengeance, hate and unlawfulness.
Lots of lies and empty promises too. And endless idiocy from the rest of MAGA too. Gulf of America, annexing Canada and Greenland, face on Mt. Rushmore, etc. meanwhile the wars rage on in both Israel and the Ukraine. Some success. Oh, and many of us are 10% poorer except for the idiots who bought Meme Coins or DJT. They were truly fuct.
Will the Stock Market Crash in 2025?
The rest of 2025 promises to be a roller-coaster ride for investors.
To say that the bears are in control of the market right now is an understatement. No one is in control. The stock market not only can’t find its footing in 2025, but it’s also in danger of losing its grip altogether.
“The U.S. economy is increasingly showing signs of slowing, as evidenced by a long-term downtrend in job openings and more recent declines in both consumer sentiment and the level of business activity in the services sector of the U.S. economy,” says Gary Hoover, a finance professor at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida.
Musk was on last night describing the amount of heat generated on re-entry into the atmosphere. Most of us knew this who followed previous missions. 3,500 degrees upon hitting air resistance, from 17,000 MPH to ~300 MPH before initial parachutes deploy. Even he’s amazed that we can develop a craft to withstand this heat and protect the lives without vaporizing. He said we’ll be stationed on Mars in 20 plus years. I have no doubt he will. His continuous development and dedication to cure blindness, paralysis and other disease is incredible for us to witness. We should be thankful.

The Harvard Math Department will pilot a new introductory course aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among students, according to Harvard’s Director of Introductory Math Brendan A. Kelly.
The course, titled Math MA5, will run alongside two established math courses — Math MA and MB — with an expanded five-day schedule.
Kelly said that students in MA5 will meet with “one of two instructors all five days” with “a variety of different activities” on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Those students must have been so impressive to get into Harvard with those math skills

HMB,
Your lady. Day drinking with kid and booze in the car? Yeah, she is unglued. It’s not like she is poor, lost a job, etc. This one has money. I’d wager she has done something naughty as well. But that’s just a hunch. People do get tired of their spouses, but NJ makes them very expensive to ditch. If I were the dad that kid is getting a DNA test, not that it matters once he signed the birth certificate, he now owns the product no matter what. No facts to what I’m saying, just a hunch.
ChiFi,
Yours is a bit tougher. Some kids are real sneaky. He may have gotten hold of her phone and sent that text. Not enough for me, where there is smoke, sometimes there is no fire. But if there is, there will be ashes and cinders that will be found. Question is do the people in charge of sifting through the ashes actually have enough brain cells to know what is is they are looking at? I know and work with enough women to know how they lie and what turns them on. Feminism has brought out the worst in many women, look how they drive, look how they lie, instead of just taking the best attributes of men like higher wages and job positions, many have become belligerent, nasty, and dangerous.
I’m not convinced on this one just on one text. But I would’nt put it past her, women are just as horny, or even more so, than men. Many will get off just from the power of hooking up with someone they can control, or doing something dirty in the worst places. They lie and cheat just as much as men, they just do it much more quietly so it goes undected like a nuclear sub. Technology is how they are all getting caught today, no one usually suspects them they are so good at it.
Finding a woman that doesn’t lie is like finding a used Toyota with actual certified low mileage. Probably even harder.
Again, I’m not sure the nationwide Tesla vandalization campaign is going to win over new voters.

The sooner you realize that only fools believe in the rules-you won’t be a fool anymore.
The referees are just there for show. It’s fine to break the opponent’s legs. You might get a 10 yard penalty, but your opponent has lost his best player for the game or even the season.
America is the land of play dirty. It’s a nasty foul place. Don’t believe those “churchy” people either, inclding the ones that wear the robes or the old ladies in the parking lot.
Be on guard at all times. America is a snake pit.

Burn all of the Teslas. I don’t care. They were just tax breaks for the wealthy and for those rich enough to own homes. Their tax breaks came from the money that non homeowners worked for and was extorted from.
Fucc ’em. I wouldn’t waste my time burning one, and I won’t waste my time or money putting one out. Hopefully I won’t be stuck in a traffic jam because of it though. But I can’t control that, so I’ll just listen to my music as I wait for the fire deparment to do their thing.

Trump has decided that laws are no longer American unless they come from a radicalized partisan Supreme Court made up of lying and bought judges. Trump will never be happy until he replaces Jesus Christ.
As to the burning Teslas, it’s a nothingburger compared to all the shit Trump is pulling. At some point things are likely to get way worse at Trump continues to set us back decades when it comes to human rights and centuries when it comes to a government that once had a pretty decent set of checks and balances.

No matter what Elon does that pension debt along with interest-plus the greed of those dirty bas turds is going to destroy the future of America, which anyone under thirty already gets.
