The Housing Market And Inflation

Despite the slight uptick, inflation is now substantially lower than its high point of 9.1 percent in the summer of 2022. “Progress has been made on inflation, down significantly from the peak,” said Mark Hamrick, Bankrate’s senior economic analyst. “But it is happening at too slow a pace to satisfy.”

The battle against inflation has not yet been won, and the Federal Reserve cannot yet declare ‘mission accomplished.’
— Mark Hamrick, Bankrate Senior Economic Analyst

At the Fed’s first announcement of the new year, at the end of January, it was implied that rate cuts would be coming at some point this year, although when has not been specified. “With the hotter-than-expected CPI, notions of a near-term rate cut by the Federal Reserve are going up in smoke,” Hamrick says. “The battle against inflation has not yet been won, and the Federal Reserve cannot yet declare ‘mission accomplished.’”

Here’s a peek into how inflation affects the housing market.

The shelter category, which includes housing costs, continues to be a major contributor to the CPI’s monthly all-items increase. It rose 0.4 percent from last month and 5.7 percent year-over-year — combined, the shelter and gasoline indexes

San Jose office tower conversion to housing project formally launches

SAN JOSE — A plan to convert a downtown San Jose office tower from offices to housing is officially underway with a formal permit application for the project, which could produce 100-plus homes.

The Bank of Italy historic tower would switch from offices to residences under a proposal from the high-rise’s owner, an alliance of Canada-based global developer Westbank and San Jose-based local developer Urban Community, which is headed up by real estate entrepreneur Gary Dillabough and Jeff Arrillaga.

Westbank filed the formal permit application on March 20 with the San Jose Planning Department, city public documents show.

In January, Dillabough estimated the conversion could produce “125 to 150” residences.

Offices on 11 of the tower’s 13 floors would be converted to residences.

The high-rise, built nearly a century ago in 1925, is located at 12 South First Street next to East Santa Clara Street.

When Westbank and Urban Community bought the tower in 2019, it was one of several sites the real estate allies purchased in downtown San Jose with the

Realtor group will pay $418M to settle commission lawsuits

A powerful real estate trade group has agreed to do away with policies that for decades helped set agent commissions, moving to resolve lawsuits that claim the rules have forced people to pay artificially inflated costs to sell their homes.

Under the terms of the agreement announced Friday, the National Association of Realtors also agreed to pay $418 million to help compensate home sellers across the US

Home sellers behind multiple lawsuits against the NAR and several major brokerages argued that the trade group’s rules governing homes listed for sale on its affiliated Multiple Listing Services unfairly propped up agent commissions. The rules also incentivized agents representing buyers to avoid showing their clients listings where the seller’s broker was offering a lower commission to the buyer’s agent, they argued.

As part of the settlement, the NAR agreed to no longer require a broker advertising a home for sale on MLS to offer any upfront compensation to a buyer’s agent. The rule change leaves it open for individual home sellers to negotiate such offers with a buyer’s agent outside of the MLS platforms, although the home seller’s broker has to disclose any such compensation arrangements.

Sydney real estate agent accidentally sets client’s house on fire while tidying up for inspections

A Sydney real estate agent accidentally burned her client’s multimillion-dollar Northern Beaches home to ground, a court has ruled.

Domain Residential realtor Julie Bundock was supervising an open house at the four-bedroom home on Riverview Rd at Avalon Beach in May 2019 when the blaze erupted, and she had to make an unenviable call to her client.

“Oh my God, Pete, I think I have burnt down your house,” homeowner Peter Alan Bush told the Supreme Court of NSW that Bundock said to him over the phone.

Bundock admitted to tossing some of the tenants’ bedding, which was drying on the verandah, onto a freestanding metal shelf next to a wall-mounted light in one of the bedrooms while she was tidying.

“I just threw them there, Pete, right up against the light on the wall. I think that’s what started the fire,” Bush recalled Bundock saying, in court documents obtained by 7NEWS.com.au.

Real estate agent Julie Bundock had a relationship with client before she accidentally torched her $3.2M home before an open house inspection

The real estate agent who accidentally burned down a $3.2 million home before an open house inspection had previously been in a relationship with the owner, court documents reveal.

Julie Bundock’s employer, Domain Residential Northern Beaches, was ordered to pay $862,315 to the owner and four tenants for negatively causing a fire which burned the house to the ground.

It can now be revealed that Ms Bundock was previously in a relationship with Peter Bush, who was preparing to sell the house at the time of the incident, news.com.au reported.

When she was being cross-examined by Mr Bush’s lawyer Dominic Priestley SC, Ms Bundock said the pair had been in a relationship when they were younger and were still friends in 2019.

Ms Bundock is not accused of any criminal wrongdoing and there is no suggestion she acted with malicious intent when she accidentally caused the fire.

Victory Park site owned by the Kroenke Group, Provident Realty Advisors hits the market

The Kroenke Group and Provident Realty Advisors Inc. plan to part with a 3.6-acre parcel in the Victory Park area.

The property is at 703 McKinney Ave., roughly bordered by Houston Street, Continental Avenue and Stemmons Freeway.

Developed for brewers in the 1880s, the site is being marketed for sale by Foundry Commercial as the Brewery.

The land, which currently holds a 141,000-square-foot building, is billed as a redevelopment opportunity with the potential to renovate the property or to expand the existing features, given its visibility and walkability.
