    If you’re curious about the Denver real estate market, this video is for you. In it, we take a look at how the market is doing and what trends to watch out for in the coming months.

    Massive Decline In Home Prices-Idaho-California Real Estate Market.

    Massive Decline In Home Prices-Idaho-California Real Estate Market.

    In this video, we discuss the current state of the housing market in the US and specific areas such as Boise, Twin Falls, Coeur d’Alene, and the California real estate market.

    Boise, Idaho is up to 7.3 months of housing inventory
    Twin falls Idaho has 9.3 months of housing inventory
    Coeur d’Alene, Idaho has 14.3 months of housing inventory

    Some agents have been discussing the drop in home prices month over month, and many have been focusing on the fact that prices are still up year over year. However, this is no longer the case as prices in Boise, for example, are now down 6% year over year according to Redfin. If the market flatlines, home values will show a decline of $31,000 by May, and if it declines, the drop will be even greater. Year-over-year declines starting to become more apparent, and agents, sellers, and buyers will have to face the true state of the real estate market. They also mention that with a lower inventory of homes and lower buyer demand, it’s currently a buyer’s market in these areas.

    We also discuss the topic of population growth and migration, specifically the California market. The California Association of Realtors has put together a graph that shows the difference between the number of people moving out of California and the number of people moving in.

    California home inventory is up 89%, and sales are down 48%. San Francisco home inventory is up 85% and home sales are down 37%.

  2. Denver’s downtown activity remains stubbornly below the levels it reached in 2019. Researchers believe the problem may be related to the exodus of workers to the suburbs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    A research team at the University of California, Berkeley analyzed the amount of cell phone activity in a given area as a proxy for foot traffic. They compared stretches of time since the pandemic to the same stretches of time before the pandemic began.

    Between September and November 2022, Denver’s downtown only saw 59% of the activity it had during the same period in 2019.

  3. Layoffs roiling the tech sector have been the biggest economic story of 2023.

    And now, it seems those layoffs are spreading into new corners of Corporate America.

    On Tuesday morning, 3M (MMM) announced it would cut 2,500 manufacturing jobs, as slower-than-expected growth followed from what the company called “rapid declines in consumer-facing markets — a dynamic that accelerated in December — along with significant slowing in China due to COVID-related disruptions.”

    The news from 3M followed an announcement Monday from Newell Brands (NWL) that the Sharpie-maker would cut 13% of its office staff.

  4. Rocket eliminates about 50 jobs in its second round of layoffs for 2023

    Rocket conducted its latest round of layoffs last week, which included software engineers at Rocket Central and Rocket Mortgage.

    1. “…which included software engineers…”

      You know a company’s bottom line is sagging when their Samurai are getting pink slips too.
