News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), via a new Realtor.com report, highlights that U.S. short sales are rising but still represent a niche segment. Fewer than 30,000 short sales occurred in 2025, about 0.6% of arms-length home sales and 28% of distressed sales, with volumes up 4% from 2023 to 2024, nearly 10% from 2024 to 2025, and roughly 16% year over year in Q1 2026.
Since January 2026, short sales have sold at a smaller discount than foreclosures, recovering about 9% more of estimated value. Foreclosure discounts have stayed near 25–30% below estimated value, while short-sale discounts widened to 50% in 2022 before narrowing to roughly 20% by early 2026. Short sales remain less common than foreclosures, at more than two foreclosures for every short sale, and cluster in metros such as Miami, New York, Tampa, Phoenix and Houston, with buyers showing lower engagement and longer selling times.
Realtor.com® reports that in June 2026 the national entry point to luxury housing (90th percentile) was $1,277,907, down 1.7% year over year, marking the 27th straight month of annual declines. High-end and ultraluxury thresholds were $1,997,691 (-3.7% YoY) and $5,513,735 (-2.9% YoY), while million-dollar listings made up 13.7% of inventory.
Despite softer prices, luxury homes sold faster than a year earlier, with the top 10% selling in a median of 63 days, two days quicker, and the top 1% improving by three days. The report highlights vacation-heavy markets using Census data: Nantucket, MA, has the highest vacation-home share at 55%, followed by Vineyard Haven, MA, at 54% and Breckenridge, CO, at 46%. These “scarcity of place” markets show high thresholds for the top 10% of listings, such as Nantucket’s $14.1 million, often paired with relatively small median square footage, indicating buyers are paying for location and rarity rather than size.
News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), via Realtor.com, reports that the median asking rent across the 50 largest U.S. metros was $1,692 in June 2026, down 1.5% year over year and 4.1% below the 2022 peak, but still 16.4% above pre‑pandemic levels.
June marked the 35th consecutive month of annual rent declines, driven by a multifamily construction boom. Nationally, 302,730 multifamily units were permitted in 2025, up 1.9% from 2024 yet 34.4% below the 2022 peak. Permitting trends diverge: New York and Boston are at their slowest pace since 2019, while Columbus, Orlando, Miami, Las Vegas and several historically low-building markets post their highest permit rates since 2019. San Jose’s median asking rent hit a record $3,423, up 3.3% year over year.
