Shutdown Delays Data, May Slow Housing

The Realtor.com® economics team video update gives you the relevant economic and real estate information you need to know each week every Friday to navigate the housing market as a homebuyer, home seller, or industry professional. For the week ending November 7, Realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale discusses the impact of the record-setting government shutdown and pieces together what we know about the labor market in the absence of the official data. As mortgage rates moved higher, the most recent week’s housing data revealed a new milestone and a key reversal to watch. Finally, Danielle reviews what we learned about October’s hottest housing markets, investor activity, and international homebuying demand. One top theme: all of these trends vary locally.
