Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Zillow turns full-blown housing market bear—just look at its new forecast (www.fastcompany.com)

Zillow projects that U.S. home prices will fall 1.7% between March 2025 and March 2026. Last month, Zillow economists still thought prices would rise this year.

Thats -1.7% across the whole country.

The US housing bubble has popped.

Fs in chat for your local obscenely overleveraged corporate landlord or serial home flipper or AirBnB leaser, though be warned, they may be extremely emotional and/or delusional at the moment.

Entirely seriously:

Minnesota.

Lots and lots of fresh water.

Fairly low CoL for a (hopefully) leans decently blue state.

Pretty darn low risk of climate change causing significantly worse and more frequent natural disasters.

The flood damage potential is actually not projected to increase significantly.... nor are droughts and wildfires projected to be a serious problem.

Yeah, you get the blizzards, but... those are not projected to massively upscale to a point they'd be overwhelming the infrastructure, at least not yet in the next 10 years.

Also, despite the projected general housing downturn... Minnesota looks pretty uneventful in projections.

That would, to me, indicate an... actually stable economy generally, as compared to many other states that are much more prone to booms and busts, and thus massive wealth disparity.
