Realtor.com (NASDAQ:NWS) reports that the share of U.S. home sales within five miles of a large (50MW+) data center has risen from 0.67% in 2018 to about 1.5% in 2026, and could reach 2.3% by 2027 based on the current construction pipeline.
According to Realtor.com, growth in proximity is driven by a sevenfold increase in large facilities, from 49 to 347, not by homeowners moving toward existing sites. New centers are increasingly located farther from major cities, in lower-density ZIP codes and communities with household incomes now below the national median.
Analysis of 43 ZIP codes that added large data centers between 2019–2025 finds home values and listing prices tracked similar neighborhoods without facilities, while active listings remained higher near data centers. The report also highlights rising power and water demands as facilities’ average capacity has climbed from 24MW in 2018 to 60MW in 2026.
Realtor.com (NYSE:NWS) released its 2026 Hottest ZIP Codes in America ranking, with Peabody, Mass. (01960) taking the No. 1 spot. Listings in the top 10 ZIPs received 3.0–5.3x more views than the U.S. average and sold 30–42 days faster. The list is dominated for a fourth consecutive year by Northeast and Midwest markets, with no entries from the South or West.
Homes in the 10 hottest ZIPs typically sold at or above asking, averaging a roughly 103.8% sale-to-list ratio versus a 2.3% discount nationally. Buyers in these areas show stronger finances, with an average 17.1% down payment and 766 median credit score, compared with 13.1% and 747 nationally. Rankings are based on Realtor.com’s market hotness algorithm using January–June 2026 listing view and days-on-market data, limited to one ZIP per metro.

Realtor.com, part of News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), released a report analyzing how the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) payout program could influence U.S. housing policy. The Act links CDBG allocations to local housing stock growth, boosting grants for communities that expand housing and trimming awards for those that fall short.
According to Realtor.com, the median city’s CDBG award equals just 0.33% of total revenue, with a median potential penalty of about $84,000, suggesting limited leverage in most large cities. The analysis, using 2023 HUD, Census and Realtor.com data, finds the incentives are most consequential in smaller, post‑industrial Midwest and Northeast markets where grants form a larger budget share and new construction is scarce.
Among large cities, the report highlights Milwaukee, Detroit, Toledo, Newark, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Jersey City, Saint Louis and Minneapolis, which all rely more heavily on CDBG funds and have new‑construction listing shares far below the 17.9% national average (as low as 1.3%). New homes in many of these markets carry substantial price premiums, signaling constrained new supply. The program is designed to be self‑funding, with penalties financing bonuses, and exempts cities with limited zoning authority, high rental vacancies, low fair‑market rents or recent federally declared disasters. The median grant among analyzed cities was $839,525 in 2023.
Realtor.com, a News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS) company, reported that in July 2026 the U.S. median listing price was $428,950, essentially flat month over month but down 2.4% year over year, the ninth straight annual decline. The share of homes with a price reduction rose to 20.0%, 1.2 percentage points above June and just 0.6 points below July 2025, while pending listings increased 1.3% year over year, the eighth consecutive month of growth.
The median home spent 57 days on market, four days longer than June but one day less than a year earlier, matching the pre-pandemic July norm. Active listings reached 1,126,252, up 2.1% year over year but still 11.6% below typical 2017–2019 levels. Regionally, inventory grew fastest in the Midwest (+9.3%) and Northeast (+8.3%), while list prices fell most in the West (-3.9% YoY) and South (-2.5%), and price-per-square-foot gains were concentrated in the Midwest and Northeast.
News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), via Realtor.com, reports that Los Angeles County’s median asking rent fell to $2,603 in Q2 2026, down 3.4% year over year and 9.6% below its 2022 peak, the lowest level since late 2021.

Within the City of Los Angeles, median asking rent is $2,742, 2.0% lower year over year but still 3.8% above pre‑pandemic levels, implying income of about $109,680 is needed to meet the 30% rent guideline.
