It’s like déjà vu in the housing market.
Just a few months ago, home prices hit record heights, investors were gobbling up scores of homes, and buyers were racing to purchase whatever they could before prices rose even further. Then, quite suddenly, the market seemed to seize up and prices and sales began falling.
Sound familiar?
Last month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the COVID-19 pandemic market had been in a “housing bubble.” But it was likely rising mortgage interest rates, a result of the Fed hiking its own rates to bring down inflation, that most directly led to the real estate freeze. The culprits were not subprime mortgages, wild speculation, or overbuilding—the primary causes of the housing crash of the late aughts.

The angular, three-bedroom home offered for $500,000 is nestled among the trees 2 miles east of Chumstick in the Cascade Mountains, but it is still close to skiing and wineries.
“The house has a little pond and a lot of acreage, so it would be ideal for someone who wants to be out in the country,” says listing agent Michal Mock, of Keller Williams Realty NCW.
“There are a lot of acres for hiking, so the new buyer would be an outdoor person for sure. I envision it to be a primary residence because the house has year-round access,” Mock says.
Homelessness rose this year as rents and home prices spiked across the country.
In January, nearly 582,500 people experienced homelessness, according to a recent U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report. That figure is a slight increase—about 0.3%—from 2020. However, homelessness fell 10% over the past 15 years.
The homeless counts were performed in late January, February, and early March. The numbers were compared with 2020 because many places didn’t hold full counts during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.
“We’re not keeping up with folks who are becoming homeless,” says Marybeth Shinn, a professor who specializes in homelessness at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. “We’re generating more homelessness more rapidly than we’re housing people because too many people can’t afford housing.”

“They didn’t build the house thinking they were going to ever sell it,” explains listing agent Brad Rellinger, with Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty. “They put a lot of extra care into the house.”

“As a real estate agent, you have to look for comps to price things and when you find zero comps in the area, you know you have something unique,” says Keith Killebrew with Parks Realty. “This one is unique because it’s built with nine full-size shipping containers from around the world. They’re built to house goods and be watertight, so when you start with that and build a home out of them, it’s pretty unique.”
After research and discussions with the seller, the structure completed in 2020 was listed for $895,000.

On “Home Town,” Erin and Ben Napier have worked on a lot of homes with a dated grandma-esque style that’s crying out to be fixed—but what if you’ve actually bought that house from your own grandma?
In the Season 7 episode “The Mullet House,” Erin and Ben meet newlyweds Alex and Wesley. Alex’s grandma was looking to downsize, so they bought her 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home for just $144,000.
This house, built in 1955, has been in Alex’s family for 30 years, so she has a lot of special memories connected to the place. Still, the interior is decidedly old-fashioned, with floral wallpaper and ornate light fixtures.
Erin and Ben are given a budget of $250,000 to help the couple save the best parts of the house while replacing just enough to make it feel updated and youthful. Read on to find out which features the Napiers decide to save—and replace—which might give you ideas on what can stay (or go) in your own abode for 2023.
