Amazon One comes to Playa Vista’s Whole Foods Market
Amazon One Comes to Playa Vista's Whole Foods Market
by Oliver Grynberg, Playa Vista Direct, 7/20/2022
 
Playa Vista Whole Foods recently introduced customers to Amazon One, a new and optional way of shopping. Amazon’s new biometric-based palm recognition and payment system is now available for use at the Playa Vista Whole Foods Market, which joins a growing list of Whole Foods and other Amazon and third party retailers to offer the contact-free payment and identification system around the country.

To register for Amazon One, a customer needs only to enroll their palm by hovering it above a small circular console and linking a credit card and phone number. When they are ready to pay, customers simply hover their palm over the Amazon One device and the card that is linked to their palm will be charged. The system provides a contact-free option for customers looking to leave a congested store quickly, qualities that are poignant in the midst of a global pandemic.

Purchase demand continues to tumble as the cumulative impact of higher rates, elevated home prices, increased recession risk, and declining consumer confidence take a toll on homebuyers. It’s clear that over the past two years, the combination of the pandemic, record low mortgage rates, and the opportunity to work remotely spurred greater demand. Now, as the market adjusts to a higher rate environment, we are seeing a period of deflated sales activity until the market normalizes.
SoCal Housing Market Cools with Slow Sales and Declining Prices
SoCal Housing Market Cools with Slow Sales and Declining Prices
by Laurenz Busch, Los Angeles Magazine, 7/20/2022

The California housing market has further cooled in June, dropping a remarkable 21 percent in units sold since the same time last year.

The market also saw an eight percent drop in units sold since May, when California’s median home price was pushed to a record-high of $900,170 according to the California Association of Realtors. June’s statewide median dropped four percent, to $863,790.

“Excluding the three-month pandemic lockdown period in 2020, June’s sales level was the lowest since April 2008,” the association’s Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine said in its report. “With inflation remaining high and interest rates expected to climb further in the coming months, the market will normalize further in the second half of the year with softer sales and more moderate price growth.”

Worried about mortgage interest rates? Here’s what the Fed’s rate hikes mean
Worred About Mortgage Interest Rates? Here's What the Fed's Rate Hike Means
by Jon Healey, Los Angeles Times, 7/27/2022

If you’re in the market for a new mortgage or if you have one with an adjustable interest rate, you may worry that the Federal Reserve’s efforts to choke off inflation will raise your housing costs.

Economists say there is a link between the Fed’s moves and mortgage interest rates, but it’s misleading to focus on the Fed’s short-term interest rate increases. Indeed, the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was lower Wednesday than it was a week earlier, even though the Fed was poised to raise short-term rates for the fourth time in a little more than four months.
