The 2.7% inflation print is misleading. 🚫 Missing data due to the shutdown was assumed to be 0%, skewing results downward. This fishy🐟 data likely won't drop mortgage rates. As Redfin's Chief Economist, I'm waiting for December numbers for the real story. 👇

I should be posting about CPI, but I'm too busy reading the takes of data illiterate white supremacists.
I gotta let them do what they do and refocus my energy.

It's not you it's the economy. We are in a hiring recession.
In this video, I explain:
- Why this hits new grads hardest.
- The impact on wage negotiation.
- Why it’s time to think like an entrepreneur.

If there was ever a war on Christmas, what was that war even about? It feels like we all now just accept it as a secular holiday celebrating consumerism.

Is the economy crashing or booming? 📉📈
November unemployment rose to 4.6%.
The Optimist sees real wage growth.
The Pessimist sees recession signals.
The truth is likely in the middle.
As Redfin’s Chief Economist, here’s the silver lining: A softening economy pushes interest rates down for homebuyers

People care more about climate risk following natural disasters (but they should probably care year-round!) Excellent reporting by @sadbumblebee.buzz and Ruby Mellen.
Zillow made headlines pulling climate risk data off their platform. Data on Redfin users, though, shows that potential homebuyers only click a listing's flood, wildfire risk for a short time after catastrophic disasters:

Hurricanes and wildfires influence homebuyers, if only for a minute
Interest in climate risk surges after disasters, according to the real estate platform Redfin, but soon diminishes.

Redfin just finalized our 2026 Housing Market Predictions.
We are calling the year ahead "The Great Housing Reset."
It won’t be a crash, and it won’t be a boom. It is the beginning of a long, slow recovery where the math finally starts to change.

Climate risk scores aren't just useful to homebuyers, they can help homeowners too. That's one reason why Redfin is keeping climate scores on the Redfin app and website.

Zillow dropped climate risk scores. Redfin kept them.
Why? Our research shows these scores are useful to homebuyers.
Ideally, we'd have information on rising insurance costs. But until insurance disclosure rules change, we will continue to provide the best info available.

During the foreclosure crisis researchers (including me) found that many homeowners started missing housing payments after an unexpected medical event. This has me worried about what could happen to the housing market if ACA subsidies go away.

U.S. home delistings surged 28% in Sept according to new Redfin data. 85k sellers pulled listings rather than cut prices amid high rates. FL & TX are seeing the most delistings. It’s a standoff: buyers can't afford to buy and sellers won't drop prices, keeping the housing market frozen.

My meanest posts are my most successful posts. But I'm a nice person who usually holds back! 😊
There's a class of public intellectuals that got big on Twitter, who are slowly going through narcissistic collapse because Twitter is becoming (has become?) irrelevant, and they know they aren't charismatic enough to grow a following anywhere else, especially not on TikTok.
