If this situation is presented, Rouchell recommends having your realtor write up an offer to buy a new home that is contingent on your current home selling. "One tricky scenario is home buyers who are looking to buy another home but they have to sell the present home first", Rouchell says. Rouchell is similarly optimistic, although he cautions home sellers that their timelines from consultation to sale might be increasing. Kevin Rouchell, a realtor of 16 years, advises that while it might be advantageous to negotiate an allowance for home improvements, it might be best to wait a beat before playing that card.

Song, a Korean Canadian playwright who received her MFA from Columbia and drew from her own experience to write Past Lives - though she hesitates to call the film autobiographical - laughs gustily when I relay Lee's account of her direction. On film-festival the first day breakout of shooting about Past a woman Lives - the torn between the two loves of her life - its star Greta Lee was caught unprepared when a production assistant asked if she had a "set drink." (Later, her mother, Jane Min Ja Lee, née Kim, a classically trained pianist, will contradict this story to Lee via text, maintaining the name Greta was her idea.) Lee is telling me this story over noodles in LA's Koreatown, at an unassuming strip mall eatery with laminated menus and plastic-covered chairs that she's been coming to for years.

The number of veterans living in New York City has decreased by almost half in the past decade, with cost of living being a major factor. Many veterans struggle to find affordable housing and utilize their housing benefits. Despite the city's efforts to end chronic veteran homelessness, there are still veterans who are housing insecure. The high property prices and competitive housing market in the city make it difficult for veterans to utilize their VA Home Loan benefit. A federal bill called the Fair Access to Co-ops for Veterans Act aims to modify the VA Home Loan program to allow veterans to purchase cooperative apartments. The city's housing shortage affects not only veterans but also the general population, with many households leaving in search of more affordable housing. The City of Yes for Housing Opportunity initiative, which aims to ease zoning restrictions and increase housing supply, is being considered as a solution. [Extracted from the article]

These platforms have been criticized for intruding on renters' privacy and charging additional fees. The property technology industry in Australia is rapidly expanding, with many platforms promising convenience but often pressuring renters to pay for costly background checks or collect excessive personal data. Over 30% of Australians rent their homes, and some renters have found themselves with no choice but to use rental technology platforms that charge fees to process rental payments. The legislation aims to ensure fee-free options are convenient for renters and to enforce protections against discrimination and unfair treatment. [Extracted from the article]

Australia's real estate advertising market is dominated by two main websites, realestate.com.au and Domain, which have faced criticism for their high fees and lack of competition. Unlike in most other countries, Australian home sellers are responsible for paying their own advertising costs in addition to agent fees. These advertising costs can be significant, potentially discouraging homeowners from listing their properties and reducing the supply of homes on the market. However, research suggests that lowering the costs of selling property, including advertising fees, could increase property values. The impact of advertising fees on the housing market is complex and varies across different property markets in Australia. [Extracted from the article]

A report from Beijing Normal University in China discusses a study on social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) skills in the workplace. The study aimed to determine if SEB skills predict work-related outcomes, if they provide additional value compared to personality traits, and if the joint effect of SEB skills and traits is additive or multiplicative. The results, based on a sample of real estate agents in China, showed that SEB skills are related to work outcomes such as citizenship behaviors and job satisfaction. The study also found that SEB skills have incremental validity beyond personality traits in predicting outcomes. The researchers discuss the implications of these findings for the SEB skills literature and practice. [Extracted from the article]

The Australian government has introduced a privacy reform bill that falls short of the necessary changes to modernize privacy laws. The bill does introduce a statutory tort for serious invasion of privacy and a potential children's privacy code, but it fails to address issues such as rampant tracking and data breaches. The proposed amendments also leave out important reforms, such as a "fair and reasonable" test for personal information and an updated definition of consent. Overall, the bill does not adequately protect Australians' privacy in the digital age. [Extracted from the article]

Lower borrowing costs and increased transaction activity are expected to lead to a modest recovery in home prices, with Nordea Bank predicting a 3.7% annual increase by the end of the year. However, an unusually large supply of homes for sale and declining mortgage rates may limit price growth. [Extracted from the article]

The war in Ukraine has had a divisive impact on U.S. housing professionals and their relationships with clients. Real estate agents and mortgage industry participants from post-Soviet states have experienced strained dialogue and complications in their business due to the war.

However, not all participants in the mortgage industry feel that the war has changed interpersonal dynamics. The war in Ukraine is just one example of how global crises can impact relationships and perspectives. [Extracted from the article]

Real estate agents in the US will see changes to their commissions as a result of a class-action settlement over industry compensation practices. The settlement aims to shift power away from agents and drive down commissions over time. Under the new rules, sellers can no longer specify the commission they're willing to pay to the buyer's agent, and buyer's representatives must enter written contracts with clients that spell out the commission at the beginning of the relationship. While commissions are already trending lower, experts predict that over time, a system may emerge where buyers and sellers pay a base rate of 1% to 1.5% each, with additional charges for specific services.
