🏠📉⚠️ “Why the Housing Crisis Keeps Getting Worse” 🏠📉⚠️

The analysis breaks down elevated mortgage rates, frozen transaction volume, sticky prices, and the growing gap between buyer and seller expectations. It also examines why meaningful affordability improvement may come slowly through rising incomes rather than a crash or sharp drop in rates.

Why Housing Still Feels Broken - Steven ThomasThis housing market...

08/28/2026

📊 Mortgage rates rose to 6.81% this week, up from 6.77% last week. Rates were mostly steady before moving higher today after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said inflation is still too high. PCE also came in at 3.7% on Wednesday, keeping inflation concerns in focus.

📊 Southern California Housing Market Update: August 28, 2026 🏡

📅 116 Days Expected Market Time (-1 Day WoW)
🏠 39,417 Active Listings (-1% WoW)
📈 10,166 Demand (±0% WoW)

September is right around the corner, and the market is beginning to shift. Southern California inventory appears to have peaked in mid-July and has steadily declined since. Demand has also slowly eased. This is typical seasonality as we approach the Autumn Market, when both supply and demand generally trend lower. 🍂

Over the past week, supply declined by 1% while demand was essentially unchanged. That pushed Expected Market Time down by one day to 116. It is only a slight improvement, but still a welcome change in an otherwise sluggish housing market. 📊

From here, keep an eye on major economic and geopolitical headlines that could impact mortgage rates. Even a meaningful move in rates could quickly change housing market conditions. Follow our Weekly Mortgage Rate Tracker for the key developments, what moved rates, and where they finished each week. 🏡📉

📊 Homes in Clark County are taking slightly longer to sell this August compared to last year. Overall Expected Market Time increased from 138 days in August 2025 to 146 days this August. Most price segments saw longer market times, with the $1M–$1.5M range rising from 187 to 214 days and the $750K–$1M range increasing from 196 to 212 days. At the upper end, however, the $1.5M–$3M range improved from 292 to 214 days, while homes above $3M dropped from 518 to 369 days.

🗳️📊 In 1936, a presidential poll gathered millions of responses in an effort to predict the election outcome. The results indicated that Alf Landon would defeat President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a landslide. Despite the enormous sample size, the poll could not have been more wrong. Roosevelt won in a landslide of his own, capturing 98.49% of the Electoral College. The election became a powerful example of how having more data does not necessarily lead to greater accuracy.

🏡🤖 A similar issue can arise when homeowners rely too heavily on AI or Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) to determine a home's value. While these models have access to enormous amounts of data, they cannot account for every factor that influences a home's true value. Unique features, condition, location, and local market dynamics can all influence what a buyer is actually willing to pay. Ultimately, a home needs to be priced according to its Fair Market Value.

🤔💰 So, how reliable are AI and AVMs when determining a home's value? What should sellers rely on instead? And how is a home's Fair Market Value actually determined?

📚🔎 This week's Housing Report explores why AI and AVM models can fall short when valuing a home and examines what sellers should consider when determining the right price. Subscribe today to stay informed.

📊 Riverside County | August 2025–August 2026

Supply reached 8,134 in May before declining to 7,534 in August, continuing the downward trend seen through the summer.
Demand climbed sharply from 1,477 in January to 2,558 in March, then gradually eased to 2,010 in August.

As summer winds down, both supply and demand have pulled back from their spring highs, with inventory declining at a steady pace while buyer activity has also cooled.

Housing’s Weak Spot Is Getting Worse - Steven ThomasThis housing ...

08/21/2026

📊 Mortgage rates rose to 6.77% this week, up from 6.69% last week. Rising oil prices put pressure on the bond market, while the Treasury's announcement that it would significantly increase its government debt repurchases briefly helped rates move lower on Wednesday. That improvement did not last as higher oil prices continued to weigh on the market.

📅 PCE will be released next week.
