From Zillow:
Zillow Home Value and Home Sales Forecast (April 2025)
Zillow’s latest forecast indicates a decline in home values coupled with an increase in existing home sales for 2025. While mortgage rates are in an especially unpredictable period, barring unforeseen shocks Zillow expects rates to end the year near 6.5%.
Home values are projected to drop by 1.9% this year – a revision from the previous expectation of a 0.6% increase. The combination of rising available listings and elevated mortgage rates is signaling potential price drops by year’s end. With increased supply, buyers are gaining more options and time to decide, while sellers are cutting prices at record levels to attract bids.
Existing home sales are projected to reach 4.2 million in 2025, representing a 3.3% increase from 2024. As spring arrives and the home shopping season heats up, Zillow anticipates a temporary surge in sales, followed by a normal seasonal slowdown. If home prices soften and mortgage rates decline, existing home sales could benefit from improved affordability by the end of the year.
Zillow expects single-family rents to rise 3.1% in 2025, while multifamily rents are expected to tick up 2.1%. Both would represent slower annual growth than current rates and long-term norms. As apartment construction slows down and single-family home development increases, the gap between single-family and multifamily rents is likely to continue narrowing. Affordability challenges and economic uncertainty are putting pressure on the rental market, leading potential buyers to delay their purchases. As a result, demand for single-family rentals is expected to grow, as these would-be buyers choose to rent until the for-sale market becomes more affordable.
First
You religious bitchez
Tevye: [to God] It may sound like I’m complaining, but I’m not. After all, with Your help, I’m starving to death.
Happy Easter. Hope your ShopRite accepts your bible for payment since your government has f’d you up so much your credit card isn’t working anymore.
Don’t worry, your government has your back. They suggest going to your church and getting some of the donated food Pelosi and McConnell put there for you, the proletariat they despise.
Volvo Slashing Up To 800 East Coast Jobs As Trump’s Tariffs, Low Demand Rattle Automakers
Up to 800 workers are being laid off at Volvo plants across the mid-Atlantic as concerns grow about the US auto industry due to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The most ineffective first 100 days of a presidency that many of us will ever see in our lifetimes.
An unnecessary disaster from the get go.
In my New Yawk accent: Happy Easta!
VSG,
And for you, Happy Passover.
Here’s hoping you find long-term respite from your resentment and anger.
If you aren’t angry you aren’t paying attention.
And remember, a conservative is a liberal with common sense.
“Ineffective “? Many things, but not that one.

Happy Easter/ Happy Passover. Enjoy the nice weather.
Very effective actually. Trump made up some bullshit story how America was broken when it clearly wasn’t. Then he broke it so the story would appear true. Now he actually has to make America better again. Very, very, effective.
Happy magic Jesus day.
Don’t think Jesus was happy.
And he was a prophet that didn’t profit.
Kind of like a reporter that pisses off KarenKarolineLeavitt and gets kicked out of the press section, execpt back then there was no El Salvador so up to the cross you go.
Surprised the current administration hasn’t started doing that yet, maybe after the holiday they will think it’s a good idea, and Trump could make and executive order doing it.
When are we gonna rename Easter to Donald Jesus Trump day?
Good to be back and hide some expensive candy in my already overgrown New Jersey yard. Walked 6 to 8 miles each day in Fl. The 85 mid day heat can get you.. but the evenings were fantastic.
For kicks, did a little tour of Celebration, Fl. Probably the most MAGA town in the US. Planned to spend a few hours but cut it short when I couldn’t handle any more entitled rich old white farts.
if my security guard sets my house on fire I can call him many things but not “Ineffective”
🤔😂

If the goal of your security guard was to protect your house, then I would say he was pretty ineffective. No?
But if this security guard claims he set the house on fire to protect it from mold, maybe you have a point.

Where have you been Genius???
On the first day of his presidency illegal immigrants crossing our border went from 10,000-25,000 PER DAY to virtually ZERO. Sounds like he was effective to me.
Trump brought both wars to the bargaining table, even though Hamas and Putin are scum and don’t want to end the wars , Biden never did ANYTHING to try to stop the war. Sounds effective to me.
Trump has deported murders, rapists, child abusers out of our country, unlike Joe who invited all of them into our country…Americans be damned. Sounds effective to me.
Gasoline has dropped under 2.75 a gallon and will be going much lower…barrel price has been as low as 59.00 a barrel. During Bidens presidency price per gallon hit $5.00 and then he stole oil from the strategic oil reserve, Americans be damned. Sounds like Trump is more effective than Biden that’s for sure. Trump will fill the strategic oil reserve. Sounds effective to me
Now the one thing that you cry about VSG , the over inflated stock market has fallen, your crying like a little baby. Grow up Bambino , markets always go up and down , except during SUPER INFLATION then markets go straight up, you can thank Joe for that. Joe was ineffective, brain dead , corrupt, committed treason, pardoned outright crooks ( like his family and Hunter). You actually think that you are an investor, you could have picked just about any stock and made money, this is why Boomers are kicking your butt. OUCH that hurts. Common sense is lacking with you, but your fun to watch. LOL
Riiiight on man. Iffn Trump wins a third term maybe well put his head on mt. Rushmore. Trump eats his own feces.
Cheetos.
F.U Frito Lay ripoff douche bags.
189 cheetos in an 8 oz bag. ( it’s on the bag)
5 bucks per bag, 0.26 cents per cheetoh.
Rather eat three copper pennies. Probably be more nutritional.
F’n ripoff.
0.026 cents.
sorry for the typo. But still a ripoff.
Taxpayer, exactly who is your enemy?
Chinese factories build fire trucks for $400,000 in six weeks. In the US it’s $2 million in 4 years.
Wall Street firms have taken over the manufacturing industries for first-responder vehicles in the United States.
After years of consolidation and the closure of dozens of production lines, three companies control 80% of the industry.
Costs for fire trucks of all types have soared, along with delivery times. Ladder trucks, for example, jumped from $1.3 million to $2.3 million in just two years. Cities typically wait over four years to receive their rigs, after placing deposits for them.
Firms also cut back on supply of replacement parts, and as a result hundreds of trucks across the United States are out of commission, awaiting parts that do not arrive for months.
These were contributing factors in the Pacific Palisades fires, which ravaged Los Angeles and caused over $52 billion in damages.
Trump is at minimum corrupt and has pardoned outright crooks.
Corruption
According to a latest report, insiders including Meta Platforms Inc’s Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle Corp.’s Safra Catz, and JPMorgan Chase & Co’s Jamie Dimon offloaded shares worth billions prior to President Donald Trump‘s tariff declarations that sent shockwaves through the markets.
Pardoning crooks
Too numerous to mention.

“Buona Pasqua”
Wow, you show up here on the Theocratical Fascists’ High Holy day. We are truly honored. The first in here to declare that it was ok for Schools to ignore Church vs State as we are “Judeo-Christian Nation”. Quite Happy happy when the 4th amendment went under the bus.
I do wonder, how how hard did you cheer when Skadden bent a knee to Trump.
Closed escrow sales of existing single-family detached homes had a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 283,540 in February, up 11.6 percent from January and up 2.6 percent year over year, according to the association. The number was the highest the state had seen since October 2022.
“California home sales rebounded strongly in February after a sluggish start to the year, supported by increased buyer activity and more available homes on the market,” association President Heather Ozur said in a news release.
LOL
