From Our CEO
Amazon as an Antidote to Life Inside the High Technology Bubble
Here in Seattle what we’ve learned from Amazon is how good it is to try hard things, even those that sometimes require extraordinary effort. Now more than ever, we should come to praise Amazon’s grit, not to bury it. Silicon Valley needs it. America needs it.
Redfin Agents Have Arrived in Columbus!
People in Columbus can now work with local Redfin agents to buy and sell homes and use Redfin online and mobile tools to search for every home for sale in greater Columbus.
More Construction: Good For the Housing Market, But Not Good Enough
Builders are constructing more new homes, but they’re not keeping up with demand from our growing population and coming-of-age millennials. That’s one big reason prices continue to rise.
How We Became (A Little More) Impervious to Failure
Part of what our father taught us was how to resist growing up. This is what I try to do at work, insisting that Redfin is still growing up too; what after all is a startup if not a sustained, collective delusion?
Home Prices Are Rising But Mortgage Debt is Falling. What Gives?
Last week, we got even more evidence that the mortgage system is seriously out of whack. This week, the Fed speaks and we get several reads on the housing market. The Census Bureau reports on new construction, the National Association of Realtors reports existing homes data and Redfin’s Market Tracker has July prices and sales. Across the pond, architects have designed an incinerator that blows smoke. Smoke rings. Seriously.
Housing Market Feels Greek Jitters; Slow-Motion Economic Recovery Still on Track
Jobs: Good. Wages: Not so good. Housing: Moody. This week we get news on retail sales, a deep dive into loan modifications and a report on mortgage debt.
