It’s like déjà vu in the housing market.

Just a few months ago, home prices hit record heights, investors were gobbling up scores of homes, and buyers were racing to purchase whatever they could before prices rose even further. Then, quite suddenly, the market seemed to seize up and prices and sales began falling.

Sound familiar?

Last month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the COVID-19 pandemic market had been in a “housing bubble.” But it was likely rising mortgage interest rates, a result of the Fed hiking its own rates to bring down inflation, that most directly led to the real estate freeze. The culprits were not subprime mortgages, wild speculation, or overbuilding—the primary causes of the housing crash of the late aughts.

A uniquely designed home in Leavenworth, WA, comes with 10.5 acres of privacy.

The angular, three-bedroom home offered for $500,000 is nestled among the trees 2 miles east of Chumstick in the Cascade Mountains, but it is still close to skiing and wineries.

“The house has a little pond and a lot of acreage, so it would be ideal for someone who wants to be out in the country,” says listing agent Michal Mock, of Keller Williams Realty NCW.

“There are a lot of acres for hiking, so the new buyer would be an outdoor person for sure. I envision it to be a primary residence because the house has year-round access,” Mock says.

Homelessness rose this year as rents and home prices spiked across the country.

In January, nearly 582,500 people experienced homelessness, according to a recent U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report. That figure is a slight increase—about 0.3%—from 2020. However, homelessness fell 10% over the past 15 years.

The homeless counts were performed in late January, February, and early March. The numbers were compared with 2020 because many places didn’t hold full counts during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.

“We’re not keeping up with folks who are becoming homeless,” says Marybeth Shinn, a professor who specializes in homelessness at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. “We’re generating more homelessness more rapidly than we’re housing people because too many people can’t afford housing.”

“They didn’t build the house thinking they were going to ever sell it,” explains listing agent Brad Rellinger, with Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty. “They put a lot of extra care into the house.”
