Redfin is making Frisco a ‘center of gravity’ outside of Seattle HQ as it looks to add engineers
More than a year ago, Redfin’s Ben “Ditto” Lasley took a walk in the San Francisco area with a colleague who works in North Texas, Jason Aleem. The idea had come up about him moving out to Dallas-Fort Worth and join his fellow worker at the online real-estate company. Although the potential move would get shelved for a while, the possibility came up again at the end of last year, and it didn’t take long for Lasley and his wife to make a decision.

A recession may hit some U.S. metros worse than others
If the U.S. economy slips into a recession, homeowners in Riverside, California, will fare much worse than those in Rochester, New York, Seattle-based real estate brokerage Redfin predicts. Redfin economists crunched a range of risk factors across 50 U.S. metro areas to estimate which markets were most vulnerable in a severe economic downturn. One key factor was how global trade affects the local economy, given the ongoing U.S. China trade war.

Home Bidding Wars Hit Eight-Year Low as Buyers Lose Confidence
(Bloomberg) -- Recession fears in the U.S. are killing homebuyers’ fighting spirit, sending the rate of bidding wars to an eight-year low.About 10% of buyers faced competitors in August, down from more than 42% a year earlier, according to an analysis by brokerage Redfin Corp. of offers written by its agents. The share fell from 11.4% in July, which was the lowest since at least 2011. It reached 59% in March 2018, and has been declining since then.Mortgage rates near three-year lows “have failed to bring enough buyers to the market to rev up competition for homes this summer,” Daryl Fairweather, chief economist for Redfin, said in a statement. “Recession fears have been enough to spook some would-be buyers from making the big financial commitment of a home purchase.”San Francisco remains the most competitive market, but the multiple-offer rate fell to 31% from 73.5% a year earlier. Atlanta, which had a 33.9% rate a year earlier, was the least competitive, with a 2.4% share.To contact the reporter on this story: Prashant Gopal in Boston at pgopal2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Rob Urban at robprag@bloomberg.net, Christine MaurusFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Redfin Report: Detroit, Rochester and Dayton are the Most Affordable Metros for Middle-Class Families
SEATTLE, Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- (RDFN) — A typical family in the San Francisco area would need to nearly triple their annual income to comfortably purchase a median-priced home.

Amazon Turns Northern Virginia Into Country’s Most Competitive Home Market
(Bloomberg) -- Even before Amazon.com Inc. completes its northern Virginia office hub, the e-commerce giant has helped make the area the most competitive housing market in the U.S.It’s hardest for buyers to win a home in Alexandria and Arlington, cities near Washington’s Reagan National Airport and close to where Amazon is building its East Coast headquarters, according to a study by Redfin Corp. The brokerage’s analysis factored in bidding wars, waived contingencies, above-list-price offers and how fast properties went under contract.Homes that sold last month were on the market for a median 11 days in Arlington and 14 days in Alexandria, about a week less than in the previous July for both locations. That compares with 27 days in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and 38 days nationally. About 57% of homes near Amazon’s northern Virginia site were snapped up by buyers in two weeks or less.In Seattle, where Amazon is based, locals blamed the company’s rapid growth and big paychecks for helping to fuel a housing affordability crisis. In the area around the nation’s capital, investors are bidding up prices, anticipating that they’ll be rewarded over the next decade with the arrival of tens of thousands of workers earning an average of $150,000 each.“The Amazon HQ2 effect has become a permanent factor in the Arlington and Alexandria housing markets,” local Redfin listing agent Marcia Burgos-Stone said in the report. “Some sellers are still opting to hold on to their homes and wait until it becomes a more concrete reality in the hopes that they’ll get more money. This has led to a shortage of homes for sale, which puts pressure on buyers who are concerned that they’ll be left behind if they can’t find a home before things get too heated up.”In both Arlington and Alexandria, the number of homes for sale fell by about 50% in July from a year earlier, Redfin said.The brokerage’s analysis assessed a “compete score” on a scale of 0 to 100. In markets that score above 90, most listings get multiple offers, and contingencies -- such as appraisals or inspections -- are often waived. Arlington and Alexandria each scored 96, along with Grand Rapids, Michigan, a city with a strong economy, growing job market and relatively affordable prices, Redfin said. Following were Tacoma, Washington, with 95, and Oakland, California, with 93.To contact the reporter on this story: Prashant Gopal in Boston at pgopal2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Debarati Roy at droy5@bloomberg.net, Christine MaurusFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
