Luxury home prices soften as sales speeds split across US
National luxury listing prices edged down again in November even as some of the country’s priciest enclaves saw homes sell faster, underscoring how local forces have continued to outweigh any single national narrative for high-end borrowers and their brokers.
Realtor.com’s latest Luxury Housing Report showed the 90th‑percentile “entry‑level luxury” threshold slipping to $1,199,977 in November, down 2.3% year over year, while the 99th‑percentile ultraluxury bar ticked up modestly to $5,490,492.
Nationally, million‑dollar listings made up 12.8% of inventory and the median luxury home spent 78 days on market, flat from a year earlier, even as individual metros diverged sharply.
“Luxury home dynamics are increasingly driven by local factors rather than national trends,” Antony Smith, senior economist at Realtor.com, said.
“Some high-cost metros are experiencing brisk demand and fast turnover, while others face slower sales even at elevated price points. Understanding these local dynamics is key for both buyers and sellers in today’s luxury market.”
San Jose–Sunnyvale–Santa Clara, Calif., led the country with top‑tier homes selling in a median of 56 days, while Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, Calif., and the Washington, D.C., metro all saw median selling times under two months for the top 10% of listings.
By contrast, Bend, Ore., recorded a 146‑day median for luxury listings, the slowest in the nation, with Heber, Utah, and Kahului–Wailuku, Hawaii, also among the laggards despite eye‑watering thresholds starting above $3.6 million.
Naples–Marco Island, Fla., stood out as a split story for borrowers and brokers. The market’s luxury threshold sat near $3.50 million, slightly lower than a year earlier, but high‑end homes sold 23.5% faster as inventory remained plentiful and post‑hurricane rebuilding after Hurricane Milton reshaped demand in one of Florida’s most closely watched coastal markets.
Broader luxury trends have remained uneven. A recent Redfin analysis found US luxury home prices rose about 5% in the third quarter of 2025, roughly twice the pace of non‑luxury homes, as cash‑heavy buyers used high‑end real estate as a safe place to park their money amid economic uncertainty.

Bah Humbug!
…and the Washington, D.C., metro all saw median selling times under two months for the top 10% of listings.
D.C. loves tax dollars to fund their lifestyles. I can see bloated blowhards like Nadler, Schiff and Schumer contemplating the plight of the common man in their ‘studies’ while doing absolutely nothing about it. Live among the muppets that vote for you? lolol. To see D.C. in a list of luxury house sales irks me.
Fascinating to watch shiny metals uncouple. I don’t even have any junk gold around. Some silver coin as most have something handed down from their pop-pop but nothing crazy. Still, wild to witness. Does Silver hit $100 per ounce? Gold at 5K? As for equities, 2026 might make 2025 look tame.

A 60 Minutes segment that was spiked from Sunday night’s episode just hours before airtime has been leaked online after being played during the show’s Canada broadcast.
The newsmagazine had been set to air veteran journalist Sharyn Alfonsi’s ‘Inside CECOT’ segment, featuring interviews with a group of Venezuelan men who thought they were being deported back to their home country – only to wind up at the notorious El Salvador prison.
But just two hours before the program was set to air, 60 Minutes announced on social media that the lineup had been updated and ‘”Inside CECOT” will air in a future broadcast.’
A source at CBS News explained that network executives determined the CECOT segment ‘needed additional reporting’ after new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss requested a number of changes.
It appears the schedule change came too late for Global TV in Canada, however, as the original episode aired – with the ‘Inside CECOT’ segment.
That episode is now available on Global TV’s streaming platform, and was quickly shared on platforms like X and YouTube from viewers who posted their own recordings online.

You don’t have to be smart to make money investing. You just have to have patience and the strength to buy when no one wants said asset. You buy…and then patiently wait. That’s how simple investing really is at the heart of it….but too bad few can do this. Very few can do this and that’s why the strategy is so effective.
Ai explaining it at a simple level:
Many successful investors weren’t geniuses. What matters more is:
Emotional control
Patience
Discipline
Behavioral mistakes (panic selling, chasing hype) hurt returns far more than lack of intelligence.
Yeah, I got a question.
How much of that “growth” was accomplished by borrowing huge amounts of money that many are never going to pay back?

There are so many Trump references in the overnight Epstein document dump that the DOJ had to specifically mention it in it’s tweet this morning.
They did not give this same warning for documents related to President Clinton or any other individual.

Ghislaine Maxwell was also onboard for at least four of those trips.
Well this changes the narrative.

The White House is panicking after Bill Clinton flipped the entire Epstein files narrative on Trump.
Clinton completely outsmarted him by officially asking Trump to release EVERYTHING.
Clinton says he’s not scared and if Trump is innocent, prove it.
VSG: And if it was negative GDP growth for the 3rd quarter, you would blame Trump, or whatever Republican was President. Your thought process is myopic. But, that is good for the far left, you folks are easy to control. Long live the revolution!
VSG: And Bill Clinton was on at least 17 flights, and we do have a picture of Bill sitting in a hot tub with a woman sitting on his lap. And no, it is not Mrs. Clinton. So what does it mean in your mind Trump there and so bad things happened, and Clinton there but no bad things happened? is this how your thought process works?

Railgun that can probably take out any ship from a great distance. Traveling at Mach 8+ it could hit a ship 100 miles away in less than a minute. Projectile would cut right thru any armor and out the other side of the ship.
A “shotgun” approach where the projectile shatters into thousands of tungsten pellets before impact could be quite devastating to whoever it would hit.

We need to have South Korea make our ships; they kick ass in ship building and they can still manage to do their silly K–Pop. We cannot seem to do anything worthwhile anymore.
SmallGov championing the exertion of heavy influence on mainstream media to cancel unfavorable news coverage is 2025 business as usual.
Boomer: Well, if you are going to be fair, CBS did doctor the 60 Minutes interview with Harris, since she was an absolute disaster. So, both sides are guilty of it.
The US ship building push seems to be part of a larger national security policy shifting resources from Europe to counter the rise of China in the Pacific. Unfortunately for the EU the war in Ukraine has resulted in the unintended de-industrialization of Germany, the only real economic powerhouse in the organization. The US military looks to wind things down quite a bit in Europe, and I really don’t think the void can be filled. Not sure what the answer is, but when I see we have the likes of Ex, VAG, and RentBore on our team I don‘t have a lot of confidence.
Your statement is very clearly not dispositive. Saying that both sides are guilty does not negate the irony of SmallGov hoisting this flag.

The work by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to reduce federal spending was mired in errors and exaggerations.
By Emily BadgerDavid A. FahrentholdAlicia Parlapiano and Margot Sanger-Katz
The reporters, who have been examining DOGE’s work all year, reviewed hundreds of federal records and interviewed funding experts and recipients.
Dec. 23, 2025
Updated 2:52 p.m. ET
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency said it made more than 29,000 cuts to the federal government — slashing billion-dollar contracts, canceling thousands of grants and pushing out civil servants.
But the group did not do what Mr. Musk said it would: reduce federal spending by $1 trillion before October. On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up!
How is that possible?

“How giving up on homeownership could be changing young Americans’ lives
What happens when a generation gives up on ever owning a home? New research explores the potential consequences, and what to do about it.
With home affordability increasingly out of reach, many young adults are making choices that are reshaping the economy — and mostly for the worse — a new research paper says.
They don’t think they’ll ever be homeowners. So they stop trying, and focus on the here and now.
That’s the interpretation put forth by economists Seung Hyeong Lee and Younggeun Yoo — doctoral candidates at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago, respectively — who built a mathematical model of consumer behavior. When people conclude they will never be able to afford a home, they put less effort into their jobs, tend to spend more on luxuries and do less long-term saving, and are more likely to invest in riskier assets such as cryptocurrencies, the economists’ findings suggested.
“When housing becomes unattainable, people do not simply stay renters — they often change how they live, work, and plan for the future. These changes compound over time,” the two wrote in “Giving Up,” a draft of which they posted online last month.
While 84 percent of the people born in 1950 became homeowners at some point in their working lives, the researchers estimated that only 74 percent of 1990 babies will follow suit. Relying on a complex model they designed that attempts to take into account factors such as mortgage debt, volatile investments and homeowners’ desire to leave an inheritance to their children, the researchers charted behavioral patterns across generations. By the time 1990’s millennials turned 30 in 2020, they wrote, 15 percent of them had already given up on ever buying a house.
The consequences of giving up
Lee and Yoo are high school friends who grew up in South Korea and whose research focused on the economic consequences of unattainable homeownership.
Using a database that has tracked the transactions of more than 500,000 Americans since 2014, they examined what happened when home prices rose in a given county. In communities where such spikes occurred, they discovered that renters within the top income quintile (who earned more than $7,500 a month, on average) pulled back on credit card spending, especially on luxuries and non-necessities. This suggests they were trying to save more for a home purchase, the researchers said.
But renters in the lowest income quintile (generally those earning less than $3,000 a month) did the opposite: They upped credit card spending, by 3 percent on average, the paper said.
In a time of relatively high inflation, there are many possible explanations for shifting spending patterns, and not every researcher embraces this analysis. Stefanie DeLuca, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University, said those findings oversimplify consumers’ priorities. “If you’re not saving and deferring to buy a house, you’re spending it on other kinds of enrichment activities for your kids, supporting folks in your family who are going through a tough time — we just don’t know what this is about, and I’m not sure it’s a good or bad thing,” DeLuca said. “There may be other rationales and perfectly, to them, optimal framing about how they’re spending this money.”
For example, a spike in home prices during the pandemic dovetailed with relatively high mortgage rates, putting homeownership out of reach for many Americans. Inflation also soared in other parts of the economy, peaking in mid-2022, raising the cost of groceries, electricity, rent and health care.
But the report identified other behavioral differences apart from spending between those who own property and those in the “giving up” category. The homeowners surveyed were consistent across income levels on whether they should try their hardest at work, with 97 percent saying yes to some extent and 3 percent declaring effort to be “not important.”
Renters were much more likely to discount work effort when their net worth fell below $300,000 — the threshold above which people generally believe a home is within reach, the paper says. Nearly 6 percent just below that benchmark discounted the importance of hard work. Those above it, on the other hand, leaned into it at higher rates than homeowners, with only 2 percent saying effort didn’t matter.
Net worth is the difference between a person’s assets (car, home, investments, cash, etc.) and what they owe (mortgage, credit card and other debt). U.S. households headed by people younger than 35 had a median net worth of $39,000 in 2022, Federal Reserve data show. Among those 35 to 44, it’s $135,600.
Lee and Yoo say the disparity suggests that renters who think they will eventually be able to afford a home — the U.S. median stands at $410,800, though prices are far higher in many major metro areas — are more motivated at work and committed to saving than those who’ve given up on the idea.
The researchers also wanted to know who invests in assets like crypto, which is known for its volatility. But with high risk comes high reward: Bitcoin, for example, was roughly $75,000 in April and surged past $126,000 in October. Now it’s hovering near $89,000.

Their findings suggested that renters who feel homeownership is out of reach are the most likely to embrace cryptocurrency, which has been heavily promoted in recent years by President Donald Trump, Larry David and many others.
Homeowners appear more likely to buy crypto as their wealth grows. At the high end, just over 6 percent of rich homeowners own crypto. Among renters, the $300,000-and-above crowd is about as likely to buy crypto as homeowners, suggesting they’re less interested in riskier bets as they save for a home. But those in the $200,000-to-$300,000 range are the most likely crypto buyers, with nearly 10 percent investing.
A targeted housing subsidy
Lee and Yoo’s paper proposes that the U.S. government consider grants for people who are close to “giving up,” arguing that it could help put them on the path to homeownership.
“This one-time small help can make them more disciplined and more hardworking their entire life, eventually becoming a homeowner,” Yoo said in an interview.
Down Payment Resource CEO Rob Chrane, whose company helps connect prospective home buyers with aid programs, said the economists’ suggestion sounds a lot like the low- or no-interest loans that cities and states already offer to qualified first-time buyers. “There’s plenty of money: 2,600 programs” across the country, Chrane said. “I don’t think we need more programs. I think we need a better job of communicating the programs.”
But Lee and Yoo said they envisioned such a subsidy going to 20-year-olds; that’s more than a decade younger than the typical first-time home buyer. At that age, it would take a small amount of money to bridge the gap between people who are on track for homeownership and those who are not.
The subsidy would ideally go to 20-year-olds whose net worth is about zero, they said, since those already in debt would just pay for immediate needs rather than saving for homeownership, while those who have assets at 20 are already doing well.
That’s better than existing programs, in Yoo’s view, because people might give up long before they can access such programs: “If you give them a down payment subsidy, you’re basically saying I’m going to lower your hurdle, after you accumulate wealth for 10 or 20 years.”
But Moody’s economist Cristian deRitis said giving 20-year-olds housing grants doesn’t address the fact that there are simply too few houses available. “By our calculation, we need to add 2 million housing units to the economy. … There aren’t enough houses for you to become a homeowner,” deRitis said.
“Sure, if you can help someone over the hurdle of homeownership with a subsidy, that’s useful, but … you have a bigger pool of potential buyers and they’re bidding with each other,” he added.
In other words: Subsidies might just drive housing costs up further.
Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, a professor of real estate and finance at Columbia Business School, was intrigued by the students’ work, saying it echoes earlier findings about the value of homeownership. “The renters could have done just as well, if only they had invested that money in a 60-40 stock-bond portfolio. But they didn’t,” he said. “You could be a renter and you could be investing your money wisely. … It’s just that that seems very hard for people.”
At 29 and 30, Yoo and Lee are just a bit younger than the 1990-born group that was the focus of their paper. One is a homeowner, and one is a renter.
But Lee, the renter, said their research is more about mindset, not just whether someone owns a house. “We think if households perceive homeownership as less achievable, they consume more, [and] because of this behavior, the wealth inequality has been widened. Even with very small differences in wealth initially, that can lead to great differences in wealth later in people’s lives,” he said.
For himself, he hasn’t given up yet.

Dark: Every country owned slaves at one point. Don’t allow institutions to gobble up multiple housing units. Then again, does it matter with the marriage and birth rate in free fall?
Tax the living shit out of passive income. Passive income is for lazy people. It’s why we can’t make anything in America.
I paid tons of taxes in America. Why? Because I actually work for a living instead of a lazy people I wanna sit home and just collect a check, then complain about people on welfare when in a lot of ways, they are actually collecting welfare.
I might actually be able to buy a coffee pot or air fryer built in America. If some of those lazy passive income, people would get off the couch and go do a job.
One can make the argument that if you have enough passive income to live off of, maybe you did something right? It’s just a thought, I’m not pro or con either way.
or maybe you were just a Nepo baby. Or marry the right person. Or slept with the right guy.
For starters, all income should be taxed at the same rate. Investment and W-2. Just doing that would be a good start.
Don’t like that pick another country to live in. If I should be taxed at 35% plus for working, and someone sitting on their ass, collecting passive income should also be taxed at the same rate. Being lazy should never be rewarded, and yet it is.
Dark: I am a big fan of the air fryer. Treat yourself and get one. It’s not your fault there are probably made here. You didn’t start the fire.
for the Republicans out there, George Bush Junior had a big campaign called “a home of your own “. He felt at homeownership was very important for the security of the nation.
I agree with him. Owning a piece of land here is about as American as it gets. Allowing the view to own all the land is anti-American.
Don’t be an anti-American

The phrase “A Home of your own George Bush” likely refers to President George W. Bush’s homeownership initiatives and policies, which were central to his “ownership society” agenda.
Key aspects of his push to expand homeownership included:
The American Dream Downpayment Act: Signed into law in 2003, this act provided federal funds to help low-income families with down payments and closing costs, aiming to help approximately 40,000 families annually.
Minority Homeownership Drive: President Bush set a national goal in 2002 to increase the number of minority homeowners by 5.5 million by the end of the decade, a goal intended to close the homeownership gap between minorities and non-minorities.
Zero-Downpayment Initiative: His administration proposed allowing the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to insure mortgages for first-time homebuyers without a down payment to generate more homeowners.
where are the Republicans like him today?
Bragging about what they have and telling everybody else they should eat Chex mix.
Is that what the Republican Party has become?
turning point USA, Heritage foundation, all garbage now.
no better than the democraps.
These two organizations are eating each other from the inside because there are good Republicans out there who don’t want to be part of their garbage. I hope for the youth sake in America that this gets sorted out in time before this country goes completely in the toilet.
But it ain’t looking positive.
United States debt is growing faster than the economy.
What is Trump gonna do about that?
What did Biden do about that?
I’ll tell you. Absolutely fucking nothing.

Politics in America are two criminal syndicates competing over who can out-rape and out-steal the American public. Politics used to be a power grab, now it’s just a cash grab.
Winning a political position is the equivalent of going into one of those hurricane booths filled with taxpayer dollars, grab as much as you can. After all, it’s you that won, it’s yours to take now, it’s your god-given right.
There used to be a touch of shame surrounding it, now it’s shameful if don’t leave office a multimillionaire. Not just yourself, but your friends, family, kids should all leave far more enriched than you started.
