Manage episode 492257425 series 3067234
Zillow's listing ban is officially live—and the industry isn’t taking it quietly. This week, we break down the chaos as Compass challenges Zillow’s new private listing rules and ThePLS.com sues NAR. The battle for listing control is heating up.
Meanwhile, Congress just passed what’s being dubbed a "Big, Beautiful Bill"—and for once, real estate professionals are celebrating. We’ll walk through what’s inside the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and how it aims to fuel economic growth, ease housing development, and open the door for broader financial innovation—including crypto mortgage considerations via Fannie and Freddie.
In the market? It’s still choppy:
- Pending sales are bouncing around
- New listings are starting to stall
- Condos are seeing steep price cuts
- Buyers just gained $16,000 in purchasing power thanks to a dip in mortgage rates
- And yes, homeowner’s insurance premiums continue to climb in nearly every state
Also this week: Bitcoin is entering the home loan risk chat, with new rules forcing Fannie and Freddie to factor crypto assets into lending decisions. Is this the start of a crypto-friendly housing market?
