Bay Area construction job growth is trailing much of the U.S., showing how slow development pipelines still weigh on housing supply. At the same time, demand for labor in booming sectors like data-center builds is pulling workers with higher pay.

Resolutions set intentions. Habits create results. Focus on the routines that carry you past January and into real progress.

Finishing the year with a team wrap-up builds clarity, celebrates progress, and sets up a stronger start next year. Intentional reflection and alignment help teams return refreshed and focused. #Leadership #TeamSuccess #YearEndMomentum

Weekly housing demand just hit multiyear highs for pending sales and purchase apps with rates near 6%. This could be an early sign of momentum building as we close out 2025. #HousingMarket #BuyerDemand #RealEstate

The housing shortage is linked to a lack of skilled construction workers. We need many more tradespeople each year just to keep up with demand. Fixing this gap is just as important as zoning and financing if we want more homes built. #HousingMarket

Mortgage rates dipped into the low-6% range last week, yet demand stayed soft. It's clear that rate movements alone won't get buyers off the sidelines while affordability remains tight. #HousingMarket #MortgageRates #RealEstate

Adaptability is important but so is showing it. Leaders who visibly pivot, respond and steer teams through change build trust and resilience. #ChangeManagement

Builders are leaning hard on mortgage-rate buydowns to keep new-home sales alive. This means lower monthly payments up front but possibly hidden risk down the road. Are these deals real affordability paths or just temporary fixes?

2026 may bring a “housing reset” via slightly lower rates, minimal price growth and slowly improving affordability could draw some buyers back in. However, a full rebound will require steady incomes, housing supply and economic confidence. #HousingMarket

The construction labor market is stabilizing: fewer open jobs, more young workers entering trades. That kind of labor stability could help unlock more homebuilding. #HousingMarket #Construction #Homebuilding

Most people don't realize that happy employees are a performance multiplier. Productivity goes up, turnover goes down, and engagement improves when people feel valued and supported. #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture

Housing market just got more complicated. Delistings are at a 10-year high; fewer homes are for sale not because demand is rising, but due to sellers pulling listings instead of cutting price. If many return next spring, buyers might get their chance.

2026 might mark a turning point: the U.S. housing market is moving into a new era of regional divergence. The “hot everywhere” dynamic is over. Local conditions will now define who wins and who struggles. #HousingMarket #RealEstate

Price cuts are up, but so are delistings. Over 84,000 homes were pulled from the market in September rather than discounted to match demand. That hidden reduction in “true supply” keeps prices higher than many buyers can bear. #HousingMarket #RealEstate

Leaders often think progress means adding more, but real impact comes from removing distractions and freeing space for clarity and trust. Knowing what to stop doing shows maturity and strengthens focus for everyone around you. #Leadership #Clarity #Teamwork

NAR is rolling out 18 MLS policy changes for 2026... the most sweeping update in two decades. More local control, fewer outdated rules, and broader market implications for agents and brokers. #RealEstate #MLS

Sellers are stuck on peak-market prices while buyers pull back, creating a stand-off that’s freezing transactions. #HousingMarket #SellerVsBuyer #RealEstate

Job cuts could dent home-buying demand for mid and upper-markets, which means housing troubles may stem from employment losses more than interest rates. #HousingMarket #TechLayoffs #RealEstate

When things feel uncertain, trust is built in how clearly you show your reasoning - not just your outcome. Lead with transparency, values, and presence.

In 21 big U.S. metros, housing inventory is now higher than in 2019 with buyers are gaining ground. This indicates a changing market playbook for anyone involved in real estate. #HousingMarket #BuyerLeverage #RealEstate
