    Investor buying of U.S. homes plunged 30% in the third quarter, the largest drop since the 2008 financial crisis as rapidly rising mortgage rates cool the once red-hot housing market.

    Companies bought around 65,000 homes in the cities tracked by real-estate brokerage firm Redfin, compared with 94,000 homes during the same time one year ago, according to a new analysis published on Tuesday.

    As you look around, is there any positive economic news for those not tied to Democrat initiatives? The regular folk are getting hammered since full Democrat control.

    What happens to the tradespeople who worked on the investment properties? I guess they can become a barista

    Isn't this good news for home buyers? Would falling home prices lead to lower inflation?
    Wow, the sun came up this morning. But damn, then it's going to go down.
    Oh no!

    Yes, those investors are just trying to turn over homes during those home buying periods where certain areas are growing. Only in rapid growth areas, not the usual rise in value homes.

    Well no, $1,000 mo a month for the same house isn't good news.

    Biden's Wild Spending is driving up your house payments.

    $1,000/mo less under The Trumpster

    'As CNBC reports, to put it in perspective, a buyer purchasing a $400,000 home with a 20% down payment would have a monthly payment today of nearly $1,000 more than it would have been two years ago.'

    just raise minimum wage and that $1,000 more per month will be a drop in the bucket with the windfall from min wage increase.......................right?
