This does not inspire confidence, and only displays their mediocrity and technical incompetence.

Was about to link some of these. The feds own data certainly does not indicate a "healthy" market.

The fed also changed their own metric for inflation. It's a political play.

Strange, I can't get it to work on any Chromium offshoot. I've tried 3 variants including vanilla Chromium.

Not only does it not support Firefox, but all Chromium variants are broken.. it only supports the Chrome spyware browser

First off, the WSJ is leftist, not right wing.

The very mention of "climate change" as being a factor for reducing offspring and second guessing kids is certainly not a right wing idea.

Secondly, anything from mainstream media outlets projects an alarmist tone. They operate on the basic impulse of fear.

While I'd rather not have the state involved in any sort of family planning, the topic is interesting to delve in.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has owned the WSJ for more than a decade now .. the family will be tickled to hear you describe them as leftist.

    Overall, we rate the Wall Street Journal Right-Center biased due to low-biased news reporting combined with a strong right-biased editorial stance. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to anti-climate, anti-science views, and occasional misleading editorials.

Plenty of (US) right wing media sources accept climate change during the day and rubbish it after dark during peak red in the face angry host times.

I mean, they aren't saying that idea because they agree with it. They could be saying it to paint a negative caricature

Friendly reminder - Data released by Zillow, Redfin, and the likes is not regulated in any capacity. They choose the narrative that best fits their wallets.

100%. I have been following the housing market for the last few years. So-called data is all over the place. It really feels that all those companies have a narrative in mind and are nitpicking the data to fit the narrative.

I have rarely seen so much narrative-driven BS as in the housing market. The realtors being the absolute best at coming up with a reason why it is always the perfect time to buy or sell.

It's always great until it is not. And when it is not great, it becomes not great on a dime.

Even then, there's absolutely to denying that inventory has gone down and prices has gone up in last few years and it created an affordability crisis for many.

Prices went up because the federal reserve system has been playing very funny games. Old lessons often have to be repeated.

Elastic money will perpetually confuse people, as it takes the discussion out of reality. This is not a simple "supply/demand" problem. It is artificial booms/busts that were instigated by the fed.

Home inventory is up 13% from last April with 1.6 million homes available. Builders are starting to go under water and are trying to flush inventory. 90 day delinquent credit card bills are at a 12-13 year high.

Reality is that the lies keep coming. The most simple and effective propaganda that exists is repetition. The affordability crisis is real, but inventory has not decreased and there is no "shortage"

Whatever you are saying is probably true, for less than decent school districts.

Not sure why a month old press release is being posted.

A buyer's market looms, brethren & sistren

I am shopping for houses and this does not help.

The lack of ads is protection against malware, considering Google & Bing PPC ads have deeply contributed to the malware ecosystem.

Yeah that's my point. I meant the lack of visual (and sometimes audible!) noise they introduce.

Closer to brave new world if we are being real

I can see that one.
