Housing
The residential real-estate market — home prices, construction, rents, and mortgage costs.
Coverage of Housing is fading : 14 signals on the latest tracked day, down 75% from its three-week baseline of 55, across 7 domains (down from 8 a week ago). That makes it the #73 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
If Housing matters to your work, attention is draining away — the pace of news no longer demands a daily check.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
