Wave of subleases rises over Silicon Beach
Wave of Subleases Rises Over Silicon Beach
by Isabella Farr, The Real Deal, 8/3/2022

Tech and streaming companies are ratcheting back their office presence in Silicon Beach, as both industries struggle with declining stock prices, hiring freezes and remote work.

NFL Network, Yahoo and 20th Century Studios are some of the firms that are each trying to sublease at least 120,000 square feet of office space across a stretch from Century City down to Santa Monica and across to Playa Vista, according to a Savills report obtained by TRD.

Mortgage rates remained volatile due to the tug of war between inflationary pressures and a clear slowdown in economic growth. The high uncertainty surrounding inflation and other factors will likely cause rates to remain variable, especially as the Federal Reserve attempts to navigate the current economic environment.
The Housing Market Is Slowing Down, But Buying a Home Isn’t Getting Easier. Here’s Why
The Housing Market Is Slowing Down, But Buying a Home Isn't Getting Easier. Here's Why
by Jon Reed, Time, 8/2/2022

Frustrated homebuyers may have hoped during the scalding hot housing market of the past two years for there to please, pretty please, be less competition.

They’ve gotten their wish. It doesn’t mean those homes on the market are any easier to afford. In fact, that part has gotten worse.

“We’re starting to see more homes available for sale. That should eventually shift things back into buyers’ favor,” says Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com. But, she adds, “we haven’t seen a lot of evidence of it yet.”

What’s next for the US housing market
What's Next for the US Housing Market
by Anna Bahney, CNN.com, 8/2/2022

So far this year, the real estate market has not been going the way many prospective homebuyers had hoped. Home prices – already at all-time highs – have continued to climb and mortgage rates have risen much faster than expected.

While some buyers have forged ahead, others have put their home search on hold or have given up entirely because the rising costs have put ownership out of reach.

But as recession fears for the larger economy loom, the housing market is showing signs of slowing. Sales of new construction homes are down and construction is stalling. Sales of existing homes have dropped and are trending below 2019 levels. As mortgage rates remain above 5%, applications have fallen to their lowest level in 22 years.
