0 This post is sponsored and contributed by Personal Finance To navigate a seller's market, you'll need to beat out the competition. We've got some tips to help you position yourself for success. Newrez , Brand Partner Posted | Updated Reply (Originally published by Newrez.) Imagine this: You've just walked through the front door of a beautiful home, newly listed for sale. The size is perfect, the neighborhood is ideal, and it's within your price range. There's just one problem – it's filled with other potential buyers!

These so-called "hot markets" are where housing inventory is low and prices are relatively high. And while these conditions are prime for sellers, they can make the process more challenging for homebuyers. … [Read more...] about Tips For Buying A Home In A Seller’s Market

0 This post is sponsored and contributed by Personal Finance With more seniors than ever aging in place and choosing not to sell the family home, there is a critical shortage in available properties. Newrez , Brand Partner Posted | Updated Reply (Originally published by Newrez.) With more seniors than ever aging in place and choosing not to sell the family home, an estimated 1.6 million fewer properties are now available in a market already experiencing a critical shortage, according to Freddie Mac. That stay-put trend is crashing into the rising demand for housing from the huge millennial generation: fewer homes for sale will continue to put upward pressure on already overheated home prices. While some homeowners are choosing to age in place, others simply can't afford the high costs of moving. Today's housing market is incredibly pricey, and some can't afford to move into another home, even a smaller … [Read more...] about Older Americans ‘Age In Place,’ Millennials Struggle To Find Homes

Cheryl Walters, 77, believes in the power of planning. Four years ago, the retired schoolteacher attended a downsizing seminar led by The Steller Group , a Colorado-based full-service real estate team. While Walters wasn’t ready to leave her home yet, she knew she’d eventually need to do so: her 94-year-old husband Cliff has several health issues, and she doesn’t have children. So, she continued attending additional Steller seminars. “I had the time and the inclination,” she says. “Steller changed my mind-set to help me look at downsizing as a process.” Blair Bryant, a designated broker for Steller shared, “The three main factors a downsizer is facing are: what will I do with all my stuff, how do I get the house ready, and how do I time everything?” In Walters’s case, she had anticipated that the move would happen after her husband passed. But Father Time had different plans. “My husband is the Energizer Bunny, so as he became less capable of taking care of all the home … [Read more...] about Planning helps retired schoolteacher ease pain of downsizing

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 9 BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were higher in Europe and Asia on Friday despite data suggesting some economies are slowing. U.S. futures also advanced after a rally Thursday on Wall Street, where the market is headed for its first weekly gain after three weeks of punishing losses. Market players are looking ahead to U.S. inflation data due next week and hoping that the moderation in prices of oil and some other commodities this week is a sign inflation might be abating. “We will soon find out if the inflation trade is pausing or cracking. Pain levels are raising with the ‘recession rotation’ in full swing as the narrative shifts from supply chain concerns to demand destruction,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. Britain’s FTSE 100 added 1.1% to 7,097.20 after Prime Minister Boris Johnson suffered a double blow as voters … [Read more...] about World shares gain as investors shrug off downbeat data

It’s been a long week for all of us, so forgive me if I don’t have the energy to participate in a debate about whether President Trump calling the virus “Chinese” is racist. Of course it is. And it’s something we’ve all seen before, when Vincent Chin was murdered in 1982 during a recession that politicians blamed on Japan; when Muslim Americans were targeted after 9/11; when the AIDS crisis was blamed on gay men; when Japanese Americans were sent to incarceration camps during World War II. When this country faces an existential threat, fear looks for a target. × I’m weary of this debate because the harm to Asian Americans is already done, and what a pundit says will never change that. Nor will yelling at Trump do any good — he has repeatedly shown throughout his presidency that he values his ego over the safety of the American people. What we need to be talking about is how to protect people and neighborhoods from more economic and physical harm. This … [Read more...] about Column: ‘It’s just too much’: Asian Americans confront xenophobia, economic devastation and the coronavirus
