Why Is the U.S. Housing Market So Out of Whack? What Homebuyers Need To Know Right Now
T
here’s never been a housing market quite like this before.
Today’s real estate agents are pulling double duty as therapists, consoling heartbroken homebuyers who lost out on their fifth—or 15th—home. First-time homebuyers around the country are being outbid by investors—some of whom are willing to pay more than $100,000 over asking price. Wealthy buyers offering all cash for second homes are sending prices ever higher, pushing the dream of homeownership out of reach for many folks.
Meanwhile, home sellers are enjoying the benefits of life in the fast lane: the ultimate seller’s market. Can all this last? Is this really going to become the new normal?

2021’s Latest Home Decor Trend? The Domesticated Disco Ball
Mirrored balls have been around for over 100 years. They first popped up in the boozy, burlesque Berlin nightclubs of the Weimar Republic before becoming a cultural mainstay in the nightclubs of New York and Europe in the 1970s as the upbeat electro-beat music movement known as disco swept the world. Hence the term disco ball was born—and has been the beating, reflective heart of revelry for generations.
Until, well, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused nightlife, and transitively its ultimate symbol, to vanish across cities and continents overnight. So is it any wonder that when humans—the ultimate social animals—couldn’t dance under the disco ball, we domesticated it?
