Arizona Ends Zillow-Redfin Non-Compete, Orders $2M to Restore Competition

Regulators say Zillow and Redfin secretly agreed not to compete in large-apartment listings, with Redfin ceding business to Zillow; the 2025 payout of $100 million is cited as part of the anticompetitive deal. Under the settlement, they must resume real competition: Redfin will list its own apartment units and drop exclusive listings, with a $2 million penalty and a ban on similar deals in the future, supported by the FTC and AGs from AZ, CT, NY, WA, and VA.

Midwest Standing Ground: 134 Years of Affordable U.S. Home Prices Highlight St. Louis Advantage

A Fed-backed study analyzing 2.7 million listings from 1890–2006 shows St. Louis, and the Midwest, have stayed far more affordable than coastal cities over 134 years. Inflation-adjusted prices in St. Louis rose about 6%, versus about 1,000% in San Diego/Los Angeles and 354% nationally, due to long-running housing supply, abundant land, slower population growth, and zoning differences. Today St. Louis County median prices are ~$313k and the City ~$240k, with rents near $1,200 and typical 30-year mortgage payments around $1,500 after a down payment and current rates, and roughly 60% of area homes remain affordable per Zillow.

Sunshine State Lures Billionaires as West Coast Tax Proposals Trigger Exodus

Wealthy tech founders are pulling up stakes from California and Washington to Florida to dodge proposed wealth taxes and benefit from no income tax and a business-friendly climate, pouring hundreds of millions into Florida luxury real estate and fueling a high-end market in Miami; the shift could also undermine California's $100 billion tax goal, with movers like Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Ken Griffin, Peter Thiel, and Howard Schultz buying property or relocating operations.

AI windfalls turbocharge San Francisco housing market

AI wealth is fueling a San Francisco housing frenzy, with the median home price near $1.7 million and sales often exceeding asking prices by millions as new AI millionaires bid alongside tech workers. Rentals are rising, inventory is tight, and cash deals are more common in the Bay Area. The trend is helped by a rebound in SF population after the pandemic and could accelerate further if AI IPOs (OpenAI/Anthropic) unleash windfalls, potentially even allowing sellers to accept stock as payment.

July 2026 housing market tilts toward sellers despite buyer drought

Redfin’s July 2026 snapshot shows a buyer drought and a seller-heavy national picture: about 967,000 active US buyers—the lowest since Redfin began tracking—roughly 34% fewer buyers than sellers, with mortgage rates at a year-high that keep monthly payments uncomfortable. Nationwide, sellers outnumbered buyers by about 51.3%, though most metros (39 of 49) were still ranked as buyer’s markets. Nassau County, NY led as the strongest seller’s market, while Texas Sun Belt metros (Houston, San Antonio, Austin) posted 100%+-plus seller advantages as new homebuilding comes online. In short, affordability pressures and rising rates are cooling demand, making many markets tougher for buyers and, in some areas, more favorable to sellers.

Buyers Grab Leverage as U.S. Homebuying Drops to a July Record Low

Redfin's July housing report shows a record gap: about 51% more sellers than buyers nationwide (966,752 buyers vs 1,462,921 sellers), with 39 of 49 metros in buyer's markets; Miami, Nashville and several Texas metros lead, as high mortgage rates curb demand and give remaining buyers more negotiating power, suggesting a Labor Day window could be favorable for deals.

Veteran economist David Rosenberg says the US housing market is flashing a crisis-era warning: existing-home sales have slowed to levels near those before the 2008 crash, inventories are rising and prices are cracking, with a possible 2% drop that could sap the wealth effect and curb consumer spending even as median prices stay high.

Peabody, MA Tops Realtor.com's 2026 Hottest ZIP Codes List

Realtor.com named Peabody, Massachusetts the nation's hottest ZIP code for 2026, driven by strong buyer demand and rapid sales. Median listing price was about $667,000 in June, over $230k above the national norm but roughly 20% below the Boston metro average, with homes typically on the market for about 20 days and selling for slightly over asking. Experts cite downtown vitality, highway access, and comparatively low taxes as key factors; Westfield, MA ranks fifth, and New Haven, CT is the other New England entry in the top 10, underscoring ongoing demand despite affordability challenges in the region.

Housing Market Slump Deepens as Listings Jump to Multi-Year Highs

July existing single-family home sales fell 1.9% to a 3.69 million annual pace, pushing the market deeper into a slump as inventory rose to 4.6 months—the highest since 2016—while condo supply reached a 14-year high.
