From CNN:
Here’s why the housing slowdown isn’t lowering home prices
Just a few years out from the pandemic-era housing boom, the market is stumbling. Many homeowners, anchored to pandemic-era expectations even as the housing market tilts in favor of buyers, would rather pull their listings or let deals fall through than cut asking prices too far or agree to costly concessions. Buyers, meanwhile, are now increasingly willing to walk away.
The result: Sales are stalling, while home prices keep climbing.
In September, 80% of markets saw price increases, the highest share in nine months, led by cities in the Northeast and Midwest, according to data released Monday by financial services company Intercontinental Exchange.
Borrowing costs play a role. Millions of Americans secured ultra-low pandemic-era mortgage rates, which they don’t want to exchange for current, higher rates, said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin.
“For sellers, their option besides selling their home is to stay in their home with really cheap mortgages,” Fairweather said. “A lot of sellers who aren’t getting the prices they were hoping for are choosing to delist their homes, or they’re just keeping their homes on the market for a really long time, hoping that the market changes or a buyer comes along who is willing to pay the high price.”
“That strategy doesn’t really work, because buyers are facing these high mortgage rates, and they increasingly can’t afford to pay both high prices and high rates,” she added.
…
Recent housing market data points to a “disconnect” between home buyers and sellers, Fairweather said.
Allo??
is it me you’re looking for?
In September, 80% of markets saw price increases…
Buyers are infiltrating areas they never considered before and even those areas are nearly unreachable. Haledon, Passaic, Prospect Park, Bridgeport, New Haven… these fringe areas are even though. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
though = tough
Ten 410
Price increases? No talk of mix?
Example
2024
5,4,3,2,1
2025
5,4,3,2
2024 -> 2025
17% price increase
20% volume decrease
But ultimately nothing really happened
There is no need to buy a house. The birth rate in the US fell to an all time low in 2024. In NJ the birth rate fell 10 percent from 2023. Thr number of elementary school children fell 5.6 percent. If people want to sell, to the people that want to buy, they will have to lower their prices.
Buyers trying to get their dollars into something tangible before the paper they are holding equals the value of the roll of toilet paper they wipe their azz with.
What are you living in?
There are more reasons to buy a house other than birth rate.
Just ask those who bought a condo in the Florida development that collapsed.
Ask those who live in apartments or condos who’s neighbors have burned their place to the ground, or who were shot and killed when the PoPo shot up one apartment and the bullets flew into the next. Or the smells, the noise, the crime.
One doesn’t need children to want peace in their lives.

Great story. Nice to see something so uplifting.

Dark: All valid points, but in the past, people bought houses in the suburbs as they expected to have children, so 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a yard, and of course good schools to send the kids to. With people not marrying and having children, is there a need to buy 3/4 bedroom house in the suburbs with a 15 to 20K a year tax bill, plus a crappy commute for some into NYC? For some I would say, yes, they still want the house, but for others what is the point, and I think that will impact going forward when there is a big increase in inventory.

One can only buy what is for sale and what is manufactured. If no one builds a smaller home, like they used to build, then you buy what’s available.
A home is supposed to be a place of peace. Not a fucking zoo.
Dark: There isn’t any available space in this area to build modest single family homes, and so these small time developers do spot tear down and rebuilds with these massive
white elephants that they are building and have been selling. They are on top of other
surrounding houses, and have almost no property, not even room for table and chairs and a BBQ, and no privacy.
There will be a lot of inventory coming on line in the future, North Jersey and the other surrounding NYC suburbs have lots of Boomers , and eventually those houses will become available . As for peace, there is no peace if people cant pay the monthly mortgage payment, zero quality of life.
3B, they all have that in their head that they need 4 BR. I don’t know where this programming comes from. My little sister is hellbent on buying a house. She hasn’t had stable employment in about 5 years. Gets fired or quits every 3 months. But her goal is to buy a 4BR house. No plans for marriage or kids. I can’t drill it into her head that she needs a 1BR condo at best.

How did she get it in her head that she was going to be able to buy a 4 bedroom house by herself?
What percentage of people can do that alone? Is it top 5%, top 2%, top 20 %?
I guess if you are a Nepo Baby you can do it without working at all.
Question is, not whether it’s rational at all, it’s if it’s even possible at all.
Humans can be irrational beings.
I can’t drill it into her head that she needs a 1BR condo at best.
You like condo living?
Dealing with associations run by Karens?
I can clearly see the desire to not want to live in any sort of group development and having to deal with Karen type individuals. At least with a rental you can bail out easier and less of a loss.
Not true.
It could be legislated and zoned.
But not if your politicans are bought and paid for.

BRT: That makes absolutely no sense in my mind? Why would she want the headache and upkeep, not to mention the monthly cost? If people can afford the 4 bedroom house with no strain, and want it even if they don’t have children, then that is fine, to each his own. But, I don’t understand people struggling to buy a house in the suburbs with high property taxes if they don’t plan to have children. May his and her offices, maybe bedrooms for the dogs, I don t know.
4BR is a big improvement over 3BR when it comes to hosting guests. One of my biggest frustrations with my FL home is that despite 5,000sf it has only 3BR, so has plenty of space to for people by day, but can’t host extended family to stay over, especially older people who can’t deal with couches.

Kinsley Kilpatrick put on a convincing show.
During visits to Atlanta VA Medical Center, the Iraq War veteran arrived in a wheelchair, claiming multiple sclerosis had paralyzed his arms and legs. By the time he turned 35, the onetime athlete said he could barely move from the neck down, leaving him dependent on others to eat, dress and bathe, according to court records.
Obligated to help a former soldier in need, the Department of Veterans Affairs began paying Kilpatrick $7,900 a month in tax-free disability benefits in 2015, the records show. The federal government also gave him $20,000 for a specially equipped Jeep Cherokee to make it easier for his wife to take him to medical appointments.
The hoax lasted for three years and might have continued indefinitely, if not for a whistleblower who sent VA proof that Kilpatrick was lying: videos of the Army veteran backflipping on a trampoline, prancing around a sports field like a ballerina and swan diving into a playground ball pit.
Dark: I stand by what I said, no large tracts in most parts of north Jersey to build hundreds of small/modest single family homes. Perhaps in some of the more wealthier areas like Franklin Lakes could build some, but they don want the great unwashed living in their town in capes and ranches.
U paid 4 this:
Charles R. Adams, a veteran from St. Louis, showed up to VA exams limping and using a cane. He claimed to have fallen down the stairs while in the Army, leaving him with a degenerative back disease and arthritis so bad he could barely roll out of bed.
VA paid him $106,000 over five years for the apparent injuries until a whistleblower called the agency’s hotline in 2020 to report that the 47-year-old Adams was in “phenomenal physical shape.”
Federal agents soon discovered he was a personal trainer who could leg press 800 pounds and liked to show off his physique on Instagram. A witness also told agents that Adams moonlighted as a “fully nude” dancer.
Dark: Wants and needs are two different things. BRT said his Sister ahs not been able to hold down a steady job, and yet she thinks she should be living in a single family home? That sounds like entitlement to me.
ICE looking for this guy?
Barry Wayne Hoover, a Navy vet from Tampa, shows how easy it is to take advantage of VA — and, in turn, taxpayers.
In 1997, the federal agency began paying Hoover $179 a month for retinitis pigmentosa, a rare inherited eye disease that flared up when he was in the Navy and caused him to be medically discharged after five years of service.
VA assigns veterans a disability rating from 0 to 100 percent based on the combined severity of their ailments. That rating determines how much they are paid.
The tax-free payments typically last for life and come on top of free or subsidized VA medical care.
For more than a decade, Hoover had a 20 percent disability rating from VA. Eventually, he wanted more money and concocted a story to get it, records show.
In 2009, he told a VA doctor that his sight had rapidly worsened and he had given up driving because he could no longer see people or other cars, even with corrective lenses. Just being in the sun, he said, made him feel nauseated and his head throb.
VA raised Hoover’s disability rating to 100 percent and declared him permanently unable to work, which boosted his compensation to more than $3,800 a month. The government also enrolled him in blindness rehabilitation courses, training him how to navigate obstacles with a long white cane.
But Hoover had faster ways to get around. In January 2012 — the same month that VA classified him as completely disabled for blindness — he walked into the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to renew his driver’s license, records show.
He passed the eye test with 20/40 vision while wearing corrective lenses. Unaware that VA considered Hoover blind, the state of Florida gave him a new license plus perks in gratitude for his military service, including free disabled veteran plates for his vehicle.
From that point forward, according to the documents, Hoover claimed he was blind when he visited VA for medical appointments. Meanwhile, he cashed his disability checks and bought expensive toys, including an 11-foot boat, a three-wheeled motorcycle and a motorized canoe. Then he bragged on Facebook about how much fun he was having.
“My new ride, all bells and whistles,” he wrote in 2014, sharing a photo of a silver Kia automobile he just purchased.
“New hobby ATV,” he posted with a video of him perched on an all-terrain vehicle, zipping around the piney woods of North Carolina.
“First buck,” he posted another time, cradling a deer he had freshly killed.
The purportedly blind man — who liked to dye his hair blond — also went hunting for boar, fishing for snook and snorkeling for scallops. Videos of his adventures were on social media for anyone to see.
One showed Hoover felling a tree with a chainsaw and scampering away to avoid getting crushed.
“Cutting down tree, fun fun,” he posted.
In 2017, the Secret Service began investigating Hoover and two other individuals in an unrelated gift-card scheme. A background check revealed that Hoover, then 46, was collecting disability from VA for blindness. His blizzard of Facebook posts, however, strongly suggested that was a ruse. The Secret Service alerted VA’s Office of Inspector General.

10:30 Trump cuts massive grant to send kids to Purdue.
In early September, President Donald Trump’s administration abruptly canceled a $35 million Purdue University grant aimed at preparing low-income Indiana students for college, as part of its broader push against diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
The U.S. Education Department’s reasoning for canceling the seven-year grant that was approved just a year ago stated that the grant conflicted with federal civil rights law and the department’s police of “prioritizing merit, fairness, and excellence in education,” WFYI reported.
Dark: I think BRT laid out for you regarding his Sister’s situation. Often times the facts are just that, the facts, and there is no need for tortured rationalizations in an attempt to argue otherwise.
Her “grand plan” is actually to move Grandma in a long with two of her less than stellar friends. Rent seeking behavior without being able to finance it.
BRT: what a great plan (not), so Grandma subsidizes your Sister, I mean its only fair, she is entitled to have a house, its only right and fair,
well, depending on what help grandma might need in the future, it might be a fair deal for both of them.
and if grandma is getting a tax break on her house, then someone is subsidizing grandma.
11:40 Ex,
Yeah, the need based grant clearly disciminated against wealthy students whose families were disqualified due to household income and assets.
the current arrangement is, my mom is living in an apartment in Brielle. The rent control laws make it pretty appealing to not move ever again. My brother and sister both now live there with her. My sister moved in recently and exiled my mom to the living room while she sleeps in the bed. It already was a disaster as my mom fell at night tripping over something and broke her hip and her arm. The only saving grace is, it lit a bulb in my mom’s head that she needs to stop letting herself fall apart. She recovered very quickly (4 weeks) and is now walking daily.

I think this is much more prevalent than one might think — for a few reasons…
– grandma’s are living much longer than they used to, so deadbeat ‘kids’ aren’t getting their inheritances as early as they once did; many are already old themselves by the time granny passes
– divorce is much more prevalent and can be the final financial blow to reckless deadbeats who’s financial situation is already precarious
The rent control laws make it pretty appealing to not move ever again.

Dark Phoenix,
Regarding the VA, there are over one million Veterans receiving 100% tax free disability. This also does not mean that these individuals are restricted from working. Many with 100% disability are working as federal employees. Many of these Veterans receive military retirement pay in addition to their tax free VA benefits. I think anyone who has been injured while in the service should be properly taken care of medically. However, there is a lot of abuse in the system.

Smallgov,
It’s not uncommon where I live to have large fancy houses with 3br and 5baths, because it’s a retiree dominated area on an island. So there are some homes with big kitchen, dining and living rooms (aka “entertainment areas”), big master bedrooms, and nice spare bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, but were built for empty-nesters going to FL. Many such houses will have a bonus room that could serve as a BR. Unfortunately my dedicated office cannot work as a spare fourth BR. Yes, my master BR and adjoining bath/ his/her closet area is at least 1,000 sf, and is needlessly large, functioning as BR, plus wife’s yoga area and office. If the house had been designed for a growing family that area could have been split into two BR, two baths.
All the areas can also see and walk out onto the caged pool deck with a lake view, so it makes a nice impression.
There is an upside, in that we have a built-in excuse for not inviting people to stay over.
I heard Rand Paul on Bloomberg yesterday, speaking a lot of sense that wasn’t complimentary to Trump administration policies. Bloomberg made his criticism of Venezuelan boat attacks into a headline, but he’s also highly critical of the deficit spending.

BOE Moves Forward with Special Election on Tax Increase vs. State Loan
The Board of Education (BOE) unanimously voted Tuesday to approve a special election that would ask voters to choose between raising taxes to cover the district’s $19.6 million deficit, or take a state loan which would come with a state monitor.
The vote, which took place during an emotional virtual meeting, with over 350 participants, came after BOE members expressed remorse and sadness, while members of the public voiced anger and frustration.
Some participants also expressed fear that any intended cuts would affect the school’s most vulnerable populations, including Black students and students with disabilities.
Cuts to Staffing
In a short presentation, Superintendent Ruth B. Turner highlighted some of the budget cuts and reductions that would have to be made if either of the ballot questions (listed below) fail to pass. Turner listed over 20 areas where the district would look to make cuts.
Specifically, Turner listed 113 positions that would be cut, including operational aid positions, restorative justice teachers, school counselors and SACs, secretarial staff, central office administrators, curriculum support teachers, technology teachers, CST/Related service providers, MCS clinicians, World Language Teachers, nurses, librarians, and paraprofessionals.
Even with the projected cuts, the district would need to make an additional $2.5 million worth of cuts to address the $7 million deficit for the 2025-26 school year.

Now she’s back, but brain fried from legal narcotics in Portland. I have a feeling she’s only back to try to get her money, what little she has left. Runs in the family. But I gave up trying to reason with anyone in my family long ago.
My sister lives up to every stereotype of millenials that ever existed. Thinks she’s had a rough life growing up in a 6 BR McMansion in Wall going on vacation to tropical islands every summer. Refuses to get a career. Never paid off $30k in student loans for 15 years and wants to be bailed out.

BRT,
That sucks about your family. My Mom and Sister have also been dysfunctional for decades, and have lived near one another most of the time. I basically kept them afloat by sending my mom money, but generally kept my distance geographically. Not bad or malicious people, but repeatedly falling for their delusions and scammers. So I’d only send them money in smaller chunks, or for specific legitimate needs, lest they throw it away on nonsense. My mom recently passed away, so I hope my sister doesn’t go nuts with what she inherits. I told my Mom to please leave everything of value to my sister and her son, it will be much more financially significant to them than it would have been to me.

She also lives up to every Dem stereotype. In fact, she the precise target audience of the modern Dem party — never maturing beyond adolescence and willingly dependent over the course of her entire adult life.
It happens. Kinda seems like that pales in comparison to pedophilia,

Yes, Bipolar, but also fried from trying to self medicate herself with mushrooms. She had a bad reaction and was just never the same. To be honest, it feels like an alien entered her body and my little sister is not the same being as she was 4 years ago. She read articles about doctors doing work with mushrooms and therapy and decided to try it herself once they legalized it and opened a mushroom store in Portland.
3b, I kinda took it like he was joking but whatever…it’s all good. Dark, I pleaded with both of my sisters to marry rich. They are half asian, irish/italian. Beautiful girls. They were both attracted to losers their whole lives. My older sister, I could never convince her. She lived in NYC and went out all the time. One time she went on a date with a kid who had a $100 million dollar trust fund. She lost interest the instant he asked her to take her shoes off before entering the house.
