Americans are more likely to oppose AI data centers in their neighborhoods than support them, though sentiment is mixed and younger people are more likely to be open to them. Compared to other types of developments like apartments or mixed-use spaces, AI data centers face greater resistance from local residents. That's likely because they're worried about the strain on resources like electricity and water. #realestate redfin.com/news/survey-ai…

@Redfin I got linked with one of you realtors in AZ and she missed a mistake on a contract with @CenturyCommGA which resulted in me losing $2,000. Do you vet these realtors? Completely disappointing.

Homebuying demand is ticking up, listings are climbing, and activity is picking up, but it’s a slow return, not a surge. “Even though more buyers are coming off the sidelines, some are still wondering if they should wait for mortgage rates to fall more before making a move. I tell them no–if you love a home and you can afford it, make an offer,” said Sue Dhillon a Redfin Premier agent in Seattle. #realestate redfin.com/news/housing-m…

Gen Z is entering the housing market, but not at scale. Just 2.2% of large homes are owned by Gen Z, far behind older generations, even as their overall homeownership inches up to 27%. “Young adults today have to choose between living somewhere they can buy a large single-family home versus living somewhere that will set them up for high lifetime earnings,” said Redfin Chief Economist, Daryl Fairweather. #realestate redfin.com/news/gen-z-lar…

Home-sale cancellations are rising: 13.4% of March's home-purchase agreements fell through as high costs and economic uncertainty gave buyers pause. The rate is even high in major buyer's markets like San Antonio and Orlando, where abundant inventory gives house hunters more room to walk away. “Because buyers are considering committing to spending so much money in uncertain times, they’re extremely picky, which is leading some of them to back out before a deal closes,” said Patricia Ammann." redfin.com/news/contract-…

New listings are ticking up as we enter prime home-selling season, and homebuying demand--while still tepid due to high costs and economic uncertainty--is showing some signs of improvement. “While some people are holding off on selling or buying because they’re holding out hope that mortgage rates will plummet, most have come to terms with today’s costs. The people who need to move this summer are starting to list their homes or prepare for listing,” said Adrianna Berlin, a Redfin agent in Grand Rapids, MI. #realestate redfin.com/news/housing-m…

Clean air and water are must-haves for homebuyers. 34% of homebuyers rank clean air and water (like filtration systems) as a top priority, second only to security, and ahead of features like views and smart tech. It’s even the #1 priority for Gen Z. “Climate questions are one of the first things buyers want to talk about,” said Redfin Premier agent Bryan Carnaggio. #EarthDay #realestate rocketmortgage.com/learn/home-buy…

Selling a home is personal, but timing can make a real difference. “Late April hits a sweet spot for home sellers: buyers are out in force, but the market isn’t yet flooded with competing listings,” said @AzizSunderji, housing economist and founder of data visualization consultancy Home Economics. redfin.com/news/best-time…

The housing market is slow in many parts of the country. Rising costs and uncertainty are keeping buyers and sellers on the sidelines. Slower conditions are also easing competition, giving buyers more time, more choice, and more room to negotiate. redfin.com/news/san-franc… #realestate

The March inflation report, in which core inflation came in slightly below expectations, should help alleviate fear that the Fed may have to hike rates this year. “We aren’t yet seeing rising energy prices bleed through to other prices in a meaningful way, which is what the Fed cares about.” -Chen Zhao, Head of Economics Research at Redfin. #realestate redfin.com/news/fed-mortg…

Price cuts are on the rise due to the current buyer's market. February home sellers who reduced their asking prices cut an average of $41,000, or 7.3%. Texas and Florida sellers were most likely to lower prices, while Bay Area sellers were least inclined to do so. Nationally, 34% of February sellers dropped their list prices, up from 31.5% a year ago and the highest February share since records dating back to 2012. #realestate redfin.com/news/home-pric…

Empty-nest baby boomers own twice as many of the nation's large homes as millennials with kids. It's tough for younger families to find homes that won't break the bank with the space they need, but the outlook could improve as affordability improves slightly and the mortgage-rate lock-in effect eases, bringing more big homes to the market. A separate Redfin reports point to some encouraging signs for younger house hunters: The typical first-time buyer is getting a bit younger, and Gen Z and millennial homeownership is ticking up. #RealEstate redfin.com/news/empty-nes…

While mortgage rates are ticking up, new listings are on the rise giving serious homebuyers more options this spring. “My advice for sellers is to remember you’re selling the dream of homeownership,” said Hazel Shakur, a Redfin Premier agent in the Washington, D.C. area. “When house hunters walk through the door, it should look good, smell good and give the impression that every room is orderly." #realestate redfin.com/news/housing-m…
