home prices
Coverage pointed to diverging housing conditions. Bloomberg reported that China’s home-price declines slowed in September, raising hopes that stimulus is stabilising the property market 1, while Portugal saw protests over soaring home prices 2. In the US, mortgage rates held at 7.4% after seven increases, applications fell for a sixth week, and elevated borrowing costs plus near-record prices were described as weighing on demand 3. Wolf Richter said San Francisco prices were rising amid AI-linked wealth, while some other Bay Area markets were down 25%, and argued that high prices—not everyday goods—are the central US affordability problem 4.
