|
| Sotheby's International Realty released its 2025 Mid-Year Luxury Outlook report, which reinforces luxury real estate as a safe haven for ultra-high-net-worth homebuyers and sellers navigating market shifts. The findings reveal that while economic uncertainties and stock market fluctuations may create strategic opportunities for sophisticated investors, the wealthiest U.S. households continue to see the greatest real estate gains. Beyond market dynamics, the report also delivers critical intelligence on financing strategies, natural disaster impacts on property values, and identifies five emerging and re-emerging luxury property markets. | |

| Privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac These GSEs underpin nearly half of all U.S. loans |
|
| When it comes to housing finance reform, few if any topics are more important than the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs -- which underpin nearly half of all U.S. mortgage loans -- have long been the silent engines driving mortgage accessibility, affordability, and market stability. Now, as the current administration revisits privatizing these institutions, the conversation is no longer theoretical and the implications for buyers, sellers and homeowners are impossible to ignore. | |

|
| What Every Homeowner Needs To Know In a Shifting Real Estate Market What's working in our local real estate right now? |
|
|
The housing market is getting back to a more normal place. Even though it may not sound like it, this shift is a good thing. It's what you should expect even though our expectations have been skewed by the intense seller's market over the past few years. What you need to remember is: there's still plenty of opportunity to be had if you're thinking about selling -- whether that's next month or next year. You just need to stay up to date on what's happening in the market, and have a strategy that matches the moment. In summary: 1. Inventory's Up. Buyer Power Is Coming Back. 2. The Right Price Matters More Than Ever. 3. Flexibility Wins Negotiations. Sellers who are going to succeed in the weeks and months ahead are the ones who understand this market shift and lean into it with the right expectations and the right strategy. |
