U.S. Economy Stumbles as California Housing Market, Jobs, and Consumer Sentiment Decline
The U.S. economy showed signs of distress in February, with consumer confidence plunging at the fastest rate since 2021, federal job cuts surpassing 100,000 roles, and California’s housing sales dropping 10% monthly amid 6.96% mortgage rates. The California Association of Realtors reported the state’s median home price rose 6.3% year-over-year to $838,850, yet January sales fell 1.9% annually—the first decline in eight months. California, often a bellwether for the national housing market, saw a weak start to 2025 as mortgage rates hovered at elevated levels. According to CAR, January home sales in the state declined sharply, dropping 10% from December to 254,110 closed transactions. The sales dip marked the lowest level in 13 months and represented the steepest monthly drop in 30 months. Compared to January 2024, sales fell 1.9%, marking the first annual decline in eight months. The sluggish sales performance coincided with a jump in housing supply. CAR data revealed that active listings saw their largest monthly growth rate in seven years, offering buyers more options but also potentially slowing price growth. The increase in supply was fueled in part by a slowdown in market activity, said CAR, a signal that high borrowing costs may be suppressing demand even as more properties become available. Despite this, rent prices showed little sign of a dramatic drop. U.S. single-family home rents grew by 1.8% year over year in December, the lowest pace in four years. Major US cities saw higher-than-average increases, suggesting that affordability pressures remain in key urban markets. Housing starts nationwide plummeted 9.8% in January, with a year-over-year decline of 0.7%. The slowdown underscored deeper issues, including high interest rates, labor shortages, and rising material costs exacerbated by new tariffs. Notably, California stood out as an exception to the downturn, said the CAR report. While the rest of

Why Home Prices Are Dropping in California
California’s increasing exposure to wildfires and other natural disasters has started to affect property values, particularly in high-risk areas. As wildfires become more frequent and severe, properties in these areas are seen as less desirable due to the risk of destruction and higher insurance premiums. Areas that were once seen as prime real estate have now become less attractive to buyers, leading to lower demand and falling prices.

Is California’s 10% rent cap enough to stop price-gouging?
California Governor Gavin Newsom extends rent price-gouging protections as ongoing wildfires displace Californians. The Altman Brothers Team co-founder Josh Altman joins Wealth with Brad Smith to check in on the Southern California real estate market in the aftermath of the devastating blazes. Altman says the anti-price-gouging efforts may fall short: “Nothing’s going to stop somebody from [price-gouging] in the long run. Yeah, of course, they may get in trouble. They may have been in a situation where they’re going to have to pay back the difference of where they were listed at compared to where they are listed at now when the people move in. But the issue is you put a house on the market, and it’s a good lease or an apartment, and it’s a good lease, you’re still going to get inundated with 50 lease applications.” “These people are willing to pay for it at the moment because what is their other option? A lot of them have insurance that are paying for it, which is why the homeowner or landlord that is leasing out the house thinks that it’s not a big deal because the insurance is paying for it, so it’s yet to be seen,” he adds.
