As companies report their Q4 and full-year earnings, industry-watchers read the tea leaves for indications of what’s working now — and what’s likely to happen next.
On “Fixer to Fabulous,” Dave and Jenny Marrs have been doing many remarkable remodels around Bentonville, AR—but that’s not to say we agree with all of their design decisions across the board.
In the episode “California Couple’s Dream Home,” the Marrses meet Dusty and Hannah Layugan, who have just moved to the area from California. They want to completely renovate a home they’ve just bought so it can better accommodate them and their three kids.
The Layugans have budgeted $150,000 for the project, and that stretches a lot further in Arkansas than it would in California. Also, Dave’s carpentry skills go a long way to mitigate the expenses.
As Jenny and Dave work wonders in Dusty and Hannah’s home, they give us some great ideas for our own abodes, even if their fix for a certain “situation” in the family room doesn’t compute (at least with us). Check out the upgrades they incorporate, and weigh whether you’d follow in their footsteps or skip certain aspects. Because, let’s face it, figuring out which design decisions you admire—and hate—is part of the fun of watching reality TV!
U.S. mortgage rates are up again, threatening to push the housing sector back into a recession, and a new report is warning that the weakness in the housing market has implications for the rest of the world.
In the report by the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, researchers called out the possibility of a “deep global housing slide.” Weaknesses in the U.S. and German housing markets in particular “pose a vulnerability to the global outlook” due to the size of the countries’ economies as well as their “significant cross-border financial spillovers,” the report said.
In comparing home prices with rents, which is akin to comparing the price-to-earnings ratio for stocks, the researchers at the Dallas Fed tried to measure the profitability of housing as an investment opportunity.
They found that if the price-to-rent ratio grows “at an explosive rate” as compared with its fundamental-based ratio, which is estimated using long-term interest-rate and rent growth data, then it’s worth considering whether the sector is in a bubble.

He received a vote of confidence from the Tampa Bay Rays and started house-shopping.
In August 2022, pitcher Tyler Glasnow signed a two-year contract extension with the Rays and will remain with the team through 2024.
So the baseball pro spent his offseason looking for a house in the area. And he recently landed a four-bedroom, 4.5-bath, waterfront townhome in a gated community.
Glasnow paid $2.35 million for his Tampa retreat. It’s a real deal, considering the home originally hit the market in July 2022 for $3 million.

With more than 2,800 new housing units approved in the last three years, ‘Port Chester is certainly on the move.’ Not everyone is happy about it.
Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent have just returned for Season 2 of their HGTV show, “The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project”—and although they’re total pros at making over their clients’ homes, that doesn’t make curating their own spaces as easy as you might think.
“I’m still not over it,” Berkus revealed to us about furniture the couple sold during their most recent move. “If you go on Realtor.com, you can see the old listing photos. It was great stuff!”
