Month: July 2026

At Realtor.com®, we spend every day reporting on the forces shaping where and how Americans live. But some of the most important conversations about housing continue long after an article is published.

That’s why we built The Daily Address, our new second home on Substack.

It’s a place to pull up a chair, stay a little longer, and join a more direct conversation with our readers—in your inbox, on the app, and in the comments.

You’ll find the same rigor behind our daily coverage at Realtor.com/news, our first and forever home. But at The Daily Address, we have more room for the stories that don’t always fit inside a breaking-news headline.

In The Homefront, we take on the housing questions that shape life—like what it means for millennials to confront the possibility of being the first generation to do worse than their parents, as rising housing costs upend the traditional milestones of adulthood.

Home Economics brings readers inside the week’s most consequential market developments, as our Economic Research team breaks down the data and policy shifts buyers need to understand—from the impact of landmark legislation like the 21st Century Road to Housing Act to the latest movement in rates, prices, and inventory. 

By the Numbers zeroes in on one trend shaping the market, using five figures to show what’s happening underneath the surface—such as why 10.3 months of new-home inventory has not yet produced broad price relief for buyers.

And in Down Payment Diaries, readers meet people whose housing decisions are anything but routine—like Eric Wheeler, 53, who sold his condo in Temecula, CA, to buy raw desert land and build a one-of-a-kind tiny-home retreat.

Like any new house, though, this one will feel a little empty until it’s full of friendly faces and lively with conversation. So we hope you’ll consider this your invitation to join us.
