for available apartments rose 15% from a year ago. And the median listed
rent for an available apartment rose above $2,000 a month for the first
time.
Rents are up more than 30% in Austin, Seattle, and
Cincinnati. In Los Angeles the median asking rent is $3,400. Even in
formerly affordable cities such as Nashville, the average rent is now
$2,140, up 32% from last year. Read more

Cities in tourist hotspots in France are taking a stand against
short-term holiday rentals – often known as the “Airbnb model” – as they
say that they push prices up and result in a lack of available property
for local residents.
The collective wants authorities to “class the whole
of Brittany as a zone under housing tension, which would allow for a
surtax on second homes.” Read more

The display was part of the Innovative Housing Showcase, a
festival on the National Mall highlighting new formats and frontiers for
factories that make housing.
Tourists were privy to open-house tours of
manufactured homes along the Mall, some of which were assembled on the
site overnight. The White House wants to make manufactured housing a
much more conventional option for renters and buyers as part of a plan
to tackle the housing crisis. Read more |

June IAAO webinar: Valuation of solar farms
Property Tax Assessment of Solar Farms in Indiana will be the subject
of an IAAO webinar in late June. The program, from noon-1:30 p.m.
Central on Wednesday, June 29, will review how solar energy is a rapidly
growing industry with a short history. This makes solar property
valuation challenging. Solar development also presents challenging
considerations for local government officials.
With enough information and a goal of fair treatment of solar
properties, appraisers and officials can be ready to face these
challenges head on.
The webinar will be presented by Bradley Berkemeier of the Nexus Group and is eligible for 1 CEU hour. Register here

AROUND THE INDUSTRY

The need for affordable housing is evident as the
price to buy a house reaches record highs. George Tita is a University
of California-Irvine professor of criminology, law, and society, and
directs UCI Livable Cities Lab.
The lab conducted a study which looked at the impact
affordable housing has on communities in Orange County, California. He
said the study looked at data three years before and three years after
affordable developments moved into neighborhoods. He said the findings
of the study debunk the myth that affordable housing increases crime. In
addition, he said they also added value to homes by about $16,000. Read more
Miami-Dade County has backed off its fight to collect
property taxes on a famous Miami Beach houseboat. The property
appraiser’s office agreed to drop its effort to declare the Arkup #1, a
gleaming rectangle-shaped houseboat anchored off Miami Beach’s exclusive
Star Island, a “floating structure.” That means the boat’s owner won’t
have to shell out a tax bill of nearly $120,000. Read more
The number of houses available to rent via letting has
halved over the past four years, worrying new research from
Propertymark reveals. Its latest market report says landlords are
leaving the market in unusually high numbers and that between 2019 and
2022 some 94% of landlords who removed their homes from the market did
so to sell the property.
The US real estate market is set for a downturn after
years of strong growth in property values as prospective buyers contend
with the effects of inflation, according to an executive at a top real
estate investment firm.
Idaho lawmakers have hired a Utah company to appraise
federal land in three counties to determine how much tax revenue the
land would generate if it was privately owned and subject to property
taxes. Read more
it easier to buy a house
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are implementing big reforms
aimed at helping disadvantaged communities become homeowners and making
sure homebuyers of color stay owners.
The initiative from the two federally backed home
mortgage companies announced this week is the most sweeping overhaul
since the housing crash in 2008. Some of the big-ticket items include
assistance with down payments, reserve funding for homeowners'
emergencies and lower mortgage insurance premiums.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also rolling out a new credit
reporting system that factors rent payments into creditworthiness
scores, one of the biggest systemic barriers experts say keep renters of
color from being able to buy a house. Read more
