From Redfin:
Nearly 1 in 7 Home Sales Are Falling Through, a Record For This Time of Year
Nearly 40,000 home-sale agreements nationwide were canceled in January, equal to 13.7% of homes that went under contract that month. That’s up from 13.1% a year earlier, and the highest January share in records dating back to 2017.
This is based on a Redfin analysis of MLS pending-sales data. The data is seasonal; typically, there’s a higher share of cancellations at the end of the year and a lower share in the spring. That’s why we compare this January to past Januarys. Please note: Homes that fell out of contract during a given month didn’t necessarily go under contract that same month. This data is subject to revision.
Sales are falling through at a higher rate than in the past largely because it’s a buyer’s market, with hundreds of thousands more U.S. home sellers than buyers. That gives buyers negotiating power; they may back out during the inspection period if they see a home they like better or an inspection issue arises.
Another major reason buyers are backing out of deals is financial uncertainty. While housing costs have come down from their peak, they are still near historic highs. Some would-be buyers are canceling purchases because they’re getting jittery about buying a house when they’re anxious about things like layoffs, tariffs and geopolitical tensions.
“More buyers are backing out,” said Alin Glogovicean, a Redfin Premier agent in Los Angeles, where 16.7% of home purchase agreements were cancelled in January, up from 15% a year earlier. “They’re second-guessing the wisdom of making a huge purchase when there’s a fear in the back of their mind about the state of the economy and the uncertainty of their finances. That’s particularly true when they’re first-time buyers who don’t have equity from a previous home sale, and they’re using most or all of their savings on a down payment.”
In San Antonio, more than one in five (21.2%) home-purchase agreements were canceled in January, the highest share of the 47 major U.S. metros Redfin analyzed. It’s followed by Atlanta (18.5%) and Cleveland (17.9%). Riverside, CA (17.5%) and Orlando, FL (17.3%) round out the top five.

The super-rich are paying up to £260,000 to flee the Middle East on private jets, it has emerged.
Wealthy elites are fleeing to Saudi Arabia to evacuate the Gulf, as Iranian missiles and drones rained over Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar, and Bahrain last weekend – regions inhabited by the rich and previously perceived to be safe countries.
Riyadh is becoming a key exit route for those looking for a safe route out of the Middle East, as the airport in the Saudi Arabia capital is one of few still operating.
But the journey is costly – private security companies are reportedly booking fleets of SUVs to transport people on the 10-hour drive to Riyadh from Dubai and then are chartering private planes.
Among those being evacuated are senior executives at global finance firms and high-net-worth individuals who were holidaying in the region or were there on a business trip, according to Semafor.
The sharp rise in demand for an emergency exit is pushing prices for SUVs and private jets up, as it has been reported that private jets from Riyadh to Europe now cost up to $350,000 (£260,000).

A Columbia University student who was detained by Department of Homeland Security agents Thursday morning — after the school said the agents “misrepresented” themselves to gain entry to the dorm — was released later in the day after New York City’s mayor spoke with the president.
“The agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child,” Shipman said. “They made their way to the apartment of the student they were targeting with the same story. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child. Once inside the apartment, it became clear they had misrepresented themselves. A public safety officer arrived, asked multiple times for a warrant, which was not produced, and asked for time to call his boss, which was not given.”
Whomp whomp nope.

Friedman has apologized for her remarks, which she said were taken out of context during an accidental unmute and did not truly reflect her own views.
“During a recent online CEC3 meeting, I was trying to explain the concept of systemic racism to my child by referencing an example of an obviously racist trope,” Friedman said in a statement to ABC News. “Due to an inadvertent unmute, only part of that conversation was captured. My complete comments make clear these abhorrent views are not my own, nor were they directed at any student or group. I fully support these courageous students in their efforts to stop school closures. However, I recognize these comments caused harm and pain, while that was not my intent I do truly apologize.”

re: Kuwait… Somebody switched off Friend or Foe identification?
We sold $3 billon worth of advanced NASAMS launchers and AMRAAM missiles to Kuwait. These are equipped with “Auto FIDOC” Automated implementation of firing doctrines within the system’s software to assist operators in making rapid, effective engagement decisions.
The system is designed for automatic identification to ensure that before the launcher fires, the target has been identified as a threat by the Fire Distribution Center (FDC), which operates using a 360-degree radar.
Sombody switched it off?

Is there a way to monitor Don Jr, Eric and Barron’s trading so we can find out how much they are actually winning (I meant stealing) from insider trading.
Friendly reminder….. about Congress role here. Walk down memory lane folks.
Former President Barack Obama authorized airstrikes in seven countries during his two terms as president. Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, and Syria.
1973 War Powers Resolution requires withdrawal after 60–90 days without congressional approval.
President Obama did not receive explicit congressional authorization for the military intervention in Libya (Operation Unified Protector), which began on March 19, 2011 and lasted for about 144 days of bombing missions.
He violated the War Powers act, probably should have been impeached.
Same holds true now, call your congressman’s office.. I will make it easy… Contact your Congress critter via the main switchboard (202) 224-3121. The operator can connect you to any Senator or Representative’s office.
Striking some militias in war torn Somalia and assassinating a huge country’s ayotalla are not the same thing – Especially to draw a curtain on kid fuckery. GTFOH
3b – re: Cost of the war.. Expensive so put it on the credit card.
We will need to restock our weapon systems and Israel’s weapons as well. Expect legislation soon military aid to Israel and more for the Pentagon to rearm.
Those interceptors we fire from land based systems the AAMRAM missiles are a $1 million a shot, a Patriot missile $4 million each. Ship based Aegis missile cost around $10 million a shot. Our Fighter Jets fire million dollar missiles too.
Estimates are as of March 1st Iran has 2,500 ballistic missiles remaining, and perhaps tens of thousands of drones.
Whatever legislation is needed it will be needed soon.
Rent – During “Operation Unified Protector” in 2011 against Libya over 7,600 air-to-surface weapons (bombs and missiles) were dropped on Libya according to NATO. This seven-month campaign included 9,700+ strike sorties and destroyed over 5,900 military targets.
How is this different? Did you forget about we got rid of their “ayotalla ” Muammar Gaddafi?
Explain how it’s different? Neither have congressional approval..
Peace through war.
Juice,
5,900 military targets in war torn Libya? Just shut down UN now.
Impossible to monitor, but like the Chinese economy, just look for the information exhaust through the passage of time.
When they begin popping up on billionaire rankings and lists of richest people, you will have your answer.
I think a good proxy would be David (son of Larry) Ellison of Skydance who just snatched Warner Brothers from Netflix. If he is worth $500M-ish, then each of Eric, Don Jr., Barron and Jared are going to each want to be tracking him. That is probably a good bogey.
Just to be clear, the insider trading, influence peddling, and regulatory capture are laying the groundwork for structural graft that may be unprecedented in modern U.S history. We would have to go back to Standard Oil, JP Morgan and Andrew Carnegie style stuff. But the problem there is those were great people, these are a bunch of clowns that have been given access to the lovers of power. It’s kind of taking the Biden crime family, but adding on ambition and decades of mendacity.

Lib – That was in 2011 in Libya. We had to go back a few years later after ISIS took over 125 miles of coastal cities in Libya including oil facilities and bomb them again and again.
It’s been 15 years now and Gaddafi’s son was just killed in February. Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, he was “acting” as the Libyan de facto Prime Minister and hold up in some desert fort town with his militia…The place is still a mess split for over a decade with rival factions controlling different parts of the country, but somehow they still manage to produce a million barrels of oil a day.

3b – People have short memories..I see lots of people screaming on social media now for impeachment over Iran bombing.
Back in 2011 the Democrats were mad at Obama over Libya. However when it came time for the Congressional vote.
H.J.Res.68 — 112th Congress (2011-2012)All Information (Except Text)
“Authorizing the limited use of the United States Armed Forces in support of the NATO mission in Libya”
It failed. 123 for and 295 against. War was not approved, and after it failed Obama was unapologetic. Like a dictator or monarch he said he did not need Congress’s approval.
Check your representatives vote here….(if they are still in office).
https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-joint-resolution/68
Again how it is any different this time? Obama was a dictator then and so is Trump is a dictator now.
By the way, a really good analogy for Trump would be based on the great recession in real estate. Buy a house with a fog the mirror mortgage, immediately stop making payments on the mortgage, and simultaneously rent the place out and collect a rent roll. This is the kind of person that we’re dealing with. It’s amazing that someone with that much wealth can bilk so many people literally not paying anyone, at any time, any place, except for strippers and sundry NDA’s.
3b – It’s all tribal partisan politics. The Republicans were against Obama’s war in Libya just as much as the Democrats are today against Trump’s war in Iran. In both war’s the opposition party typically prioritizes congressional authority and constitutional limits, while the President’s party tends to emphasize national security or defending freedom.
Either way Congress won’t stop the President. They could not stop Obama in 2011 with a vote and won’t stop Trump in 2026 with a vote either. It would actually take a full on impeachment at this point.
So sit back and get more popcorn.
Well it’s a good day for drone manufacturing stocks.

Rentlord,
From yesterday about your condo conversion that can’t get a conforming mortgage.
Rental apartments to Condo conversion has always being a big scam in the industry. It allows the landlord to have the same or greater earning power albeit with less tax breaks but it transfers the financial risk to condo buyers.
The conversion developer sets the rules of the HOA and they keep control of it until the laws allows based on state if any law is applicable or a certain number well over majority (75%-85%) of condos are sold. They always keep ownership of a number to ensure that magic number of condos sold is never reached.
Twenty years ago, things were so bad in areas of Florida that Fannie and Freddie put rules into effect after the financial crisis/bank bail out that restricts conforming mortgages from majority investor owned building and other sets of rules apply doe non-independent HOA.
You still see it a lot with condo conversions or newly built buildings that set up themselves as condos. Because it allows the developer to bypass any rent stabilization rules and milk the golden cow that is a HOA that they control but paid by the condo bagholders which got to pay no matter what or lose the condo in foreclosure.
They keep those owned apartments as rental income plus because they control the HOA they can steer contracts (management, cleaning, emergency repairs) to entities that they own and the cost is borne by the HOA/condo owners.
When the developer wants to get rid of the rental apartments they own. They usually write an option to buy the apartment in the next lease renewal. The rental, selling price asked and duration of offer, the percentage of the rent applied to the down payment, and the terms of the mortgage which is issued by the developer which they will promptly sell it in the secondary market together, will let you know how desperate they are to get rid of it.
President Trump told The Post Monday that he’s not ruling out sending US ground troops into Iran “if they were necessary” — adding that Operation Epic Fury was “way ahead of schedule” by taking out dozens of Tehran’s top officials.
Chicago,
Much appreciate your insight.
I really hope that mango and his family/insiders are eventually prosecuted for their corruption and grift. We need the rule of law to prevail for the USA to continue to prosper.

Then when they start dying the pro war crowd will start with their these men and women died for our freedom and way of life, which is a bunch of crap. They will have died for nothing, like Iraq and Afghanistan.
3b – No ground armor sent over there yet like we did before we invaded Iraq. Initial Iraq Invasion Force back in March 2003 was 160,000 they staged in Kuwait.
I believe several million US troops have deployed and rotated in and out of Iraq since then. People might forget but we still have a presence in Iraq after all these years.
Hundreds of Iraqis attempted to storm Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone last weekend and there was a drone attack against our Troops there yesterday. Local Shiite militia attacked the airport as well.
12:32, thanks.
Some more details of this condo.
This particular unit is not owned by the developer but an old 74 yo lady who moved out of the country. Her son is doing all the legwork to sell it remotely from DC. It is one of six units, 4 of which are owned by the developer.
I got hold of the HOA finances. The spend is ridiculous. The whole building is nicely maintained – much better than anynof the others, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were getting their own units taken better care off with the HOA money.
A quick glance said they are spending over $100k/ year just on regular maintenance.
Rent and red flag condo- good stuff thanks for a nice little real estate lesson today.
Rent – hope things work out in Pittsburgh. No shame in renting instead of getting into one of these units. I had to split cam charges on a small commercial property so I understand the games played , especially with free landscaping services for the property owner personal home passed through to the cam charge.
I really hope that

Donnie and his family steal billions out in the open in plain sight…the greatest president ever.
Meanwhile, Hunter B makes a few million through plain vanilla influence peddling…he must goto jail.
Chi, around 2008, there was a woman in Westfield who “owned” 5 properties and was renting them out. Probably no money down. She was making no payments on those properties but had a lawyer who just kept delaying through the court to extend it out as long as possible while she collected tens of thousands of dollars a month in rent. My college roommate was working for the firm who was representing the lender to try to foreclose on the properties. Took them years.
Hunter Biden pled guilty to filing false tax returns, tax evasion, and failure to pay taxes.
Nowhere was he charged with any crime about where he got the money to evade said taxes on.

Maybe Trump should return the plane so they could sell it and buy arms from us with the proceeds.
Juice, that’s a good price. Tree cutting companies are like mattress salesmen. They will go for as much as they can get and especially flex their pricing when they are not busy.
From all of the trees I removed, the prices have fluctuated from $400 a tree up to $1500. Pines are the easiest to remove because there are no branches to remove. Nonetheless, it sounds like you didn’t get robbed and this storm took down a lot of pines.

Land war in Iran?
How exactly are we landing there? We would need to take the straight of Hormuz first, sail around Africa. Maybe Saudi would let us traverse to get access, but that risks them being a massive target.
Iran does not lend itself to a ground war at all. They will throw everything at defunding the Strait.
The ships we got in the gulf aren’t leaving anytime soon, good luck. Sailing new boats in represents a massive risk.

I had five nasty, dirty pine trees removed from my property a few years ago. They were creating havoc with my pool. We had to take two eight foot sections of fence out to get to them. I can relate.
Here’s a suggestion.
Replace pines with arborvitae and plant them about three feet in front of the fence so the neighbors don’t ask you to trim them when they extend into their property.
I’m a cheap son of a bitch. I bought 12 of them for my property for $8 each. Of course, they were saplings and 14 years later they are about 6 feet tall. But it’s fun to watch them grow a little each year and now they are really taking off.
Or do what the rest of America does and pay $125 a tree for 6 foot trees.
Here’s my way. https://bolutrees.com/products/green-giant-arborvitae?variant=4896544653342

Dig a trench, line it with thick protective barrier and plant bamboo.
Which I did for one section.
Or get schipp laurels – and replace the ones that don’t survive. I never figured why some never make it.
Two of my very mature Magnolias are damaged and multiple branches down. I won’t worry about them till the snow completely melts.
It was good not to see any snow piled up in the sides in Pittsburgh.
So many first world problems!
Friendly fire. I assume Kuwait will reimburse the U.S.?
