A report from Staten Island Live in New York. "After more than three years of a strong seller’s market, Staten Island’s residential real estate is now favoring home buyers, Realtors say. 'Real estate always works in cycles. The seller’s market started to wind down around September from what I saw, and the buyer’s market is becoming more front and center,' said Traci Cangiano, broker/owner of Cangiano Estates in Great Kills."

"'We are seeing more inventory, and as a result it’s almost eliminating the multiple-offer scenario. Prices are slowly dropping, and homes are sitting on the market longer. Buyers are finally able to be a little bit selective,' she added."

The Denver Business Journal in Colorado. "Housing inventory increased 46.76 percent in November year-over-year, but was down 11.82 percent from October, according to the latest Denver Metro Association of Realtors report. The number of homes sold in November was also down from October, by 17.27 percent."

"The downward shift of the market that began around July, when average and median prices dropped and inventory hit a three-year high, and continued into November. It's not yet a buyer's market, as inventory is still low enough to keep prices high, but the market continues to shift. Meanwhile, the luxury market is officially a buyer's market, said Libby Levinson, a Market Trends Committee member."

"'With interest rates on the rise, this may be the best time for buyers in the luxury market with low rates and the ability to negotiate,' she said."

"Back in August, the luxury market surpassed $2 billion in sales, which is the earliest it has ever hit that mark, according to DMAR data. Last month, the DMAR report showed that October home sales sharply decreased from the previous year."

The World Property Journal on Nevada. "The Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors are reporting this week that Southern Nevada home prices leveled off heading into the holidays, with more homes on the market and fewer properties changing hands.'

"'The housing market has been softening nationwide,' said 2018 GLVAR President Chris Bishop."

"By the end of November, GLVAR reported 7,003 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer. That's up 54.3 percent from one year ago. For condos and townhomes, the 1,605 properties listed without offers in November represented a 118.4 percent jump from one year ago. Compared to one year ago, November sales were down 11.6 percent for homes and down 7.1 percent for condos and townhomes."

From Boston Agent Magazine on Massachusetts. "A market analysis released last month by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Warren Residential found that condo prices in some of Boston’s most expensive markets fell during the third quarter of 2018.'

"Compared to the same period in 2017, condo sale prices in the Fenway/Kenmore area fell 14.27 percent to an average of $611,304. In Downtown Boston, condo prices fell almost 7 percent to an average of $1.38 million. Warren Residential also recorded less significant price drops for condos sold in the South End (4.6 percent) and the Waterfront district (2.5 percent)."

"The culprit for the more significant price declines is probably related to increased inventory, especially at the upper end of Boston’s condo market. In Fenway/Kenmore, Warren Residential reported the supply of condos for sale increased 231 percent year-over-year. In Downtown Boston, supply increased almost 73 percent annually. In both markets, closed sales were also down year-over-year."

"Some trends, like listing supply, were mirrored in the latest GBAR report. New condo listings were up 20.3 percent in October compared to last year, while the total number of units sold was down 8.6 percent."

"'For now, it is still somewhat a seller’s market, but as these numbers reflect, supply is not as constrained as it was this past summer,' according to GBAR president Marie Presti in a news release on October sales data."

The Daily Mail on California. "Demi Lovato has taken her Los Angeles mansion off the market and is now trying to find renters for the home, which is the same location where she suffered a drug overdose in July. The singer recently listed the 5,500 square foot home for a hefty rental price tag of $39,000 per month."

"The home was first listed for sale in September for $9,495,000 and the price was later slashed to $8,995,000 but still wasn't scooped up."

"TMZ reported that the singer's renovations were putting off purchasers. Demi had turned the garages into a security base, and added a glam room and wardrobe room, leaving the property without a covered car space. In addition, a security fence around the property stands outside the lot's border, taking in some city land. So much city land is enclosed, that it even includes a street light."

"Back in 2016, Demi purchased the property for $8.3 million, according to Variety and, 'after a series of storms in early 2017 sent the hillside behind the house tumbling into her driveway — the L.A. Department of Building and Safety has declared the hillside secured."
