Home-selling profits drop in 2023 for first time in over a decade amid modest price gains ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property and real estate data, today released its Year-End 2023 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that home sellers made a $121,000 profit on the typical sale in 2023, generating a 56.5 percent return on investment. But even as both gross profits and profit margins remained near record levels, they decreased from 2022, marking the first declines in either category since 2011. The gross profit on median-priced single-family homes sales dipped down from $122,600 in 2022 while the profit margin dropped, year over year, from 59.8 percent. That happened as the median nationwide home price rose at the smallest annual pace in more than a decade. The profit fallback came during a year of ups and downs for the U.S. housing market that featured flat prices early in 2023, followed by a spike in the Spring and a drop-off in the fourth quarter. Price patterns were mixed as the upward pressure of strong employment and investment markets, along with a historically tight supply of homes, competed with the downward force of home-mortgage rates that rose during most of 2023. “Last year certainly stood out as another very good year for home sellers across most of the United States. Typical profits of over $120,000 and margins close to 60 percent were still more than

double where they stood just five years earlier,” said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM. “But the market definitely softened amid modest price gains that weren’t enough to push profits up higher after a long run of improvements. In 2024, the stage seems set for more small changes in prices as well as seller gains given the competing forces of interest rates that have headed back down in recent months and home supplies that remain tight, but home ownership costs that remain a serious financial burden for many households.” Among 129 metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 200,000 and sufficient sales data, sellers in western and southern states again reaped the highest returns on investment in 2023. The West and South regions had 12 of the 15 metro areas with the highest ROIs on typical home sales last year, led by San Jose, CA (99.4 percent return on investment); Knoxville, TN (98.1 percent); Seattle, WA (92.9 percent); Spokane, WA (90.6 percent) and Scranton, PA (89.6 percent).

National median home price rises at slowest pace since 2011

The U.S. median home price increased 2.1 percent from 2022 to 2023, reaching another all-time annual high of $335,000. The typical 2023 price has more than double the nationwide median in 2011, a point in time right before the housing market began recovering from the

aftereffects of the Great Recession that hit in the late 2000s. The 2023 increase, however, represented the smallest annual bump during the extended boom period that began in 2012. The full-year median homeprice appreciation slowed down as interest rates rose in 2023 close to 8 percent for a 30-year mortgage. While gains were mostly small, median prices still rose from 2022 to 2023 in 97, or 75 percent of the 129 metropolitan statistical areas around the U.S. with a population of 200,000 or more and sufficient home price data last year. Those with the biggest year-over-year increases were Hilton Head, SC (median up 12.2 percent); Naples, FL (up 10.6 percent); Hartford, CT (up 10.5 percent); Savannah, GA (up 10.5 percent) and Rochester, NY (up 9.7 percent). Aside from Hartford and Rochester, the largest median-price increases in metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in 2023 came in Miami, FL (up 8.6 percent); Cincinnati, OH (up 8.1 percent) and Milwaukee, WI (up 6.9 percent). Metro areas where median prices dropped most in 2023 were Austin, TX (down 6.2 percent); San Francisco, CA (down 4.4 percent); Stockton, CA (down 4.4 percent); Boise, ID (down 4.1 percent) and Phoenix, AZ (down 3.8 percent).

“Although job gains were modest last month, other evidence suggests there is still lots of demand for workers. Wages rose faster than in other sectors, job openings at the end of 2023 were at near-record levels for December, and construction spending jumped that month.” Ken Simonson, AGC.

New EY research reveals the majority of US employees feel AI anxiety amid explosive adoption Most US workers are using AI, but just as many fear the technology's impact on their role The artificial intelligence (AI) boom across all industries has fueled anxiety in the workforce, with employees fearing ethical usage, legal risks and job displacement, according to new data from Ernst & Young LLP (EY US). The AI Anxiety in Business Survey is based on findings from 1,000 employed US workers at least somewhat familiar with artificial intelligence (AI) about their perception of and experience with AI-backed technologies, revealing a majority (71%) of employees are concerned about AI. On the heels of a year of generative AI-fueled disruption, about half (48%) of respondents said they are more concerned about AI today than they were a year ago, and of those, 41% believe it is evolving too quickly. “Generative AI has evolved to one of the fastest user-adopted technologies, and as regulators and C-suite leaders struggle to keep up, it’s causing a sense of discontinuity, confusion, and even a loss of control among employees,” said Dan Diasio, EY Global Artificial Intelligence Consulting Leader. “As businesses continue to adopt generative AI, leaders must keep employees at the center and help overcome fear-based barriers to usher in a new era of productivity and growth.”

Employee concerns accelerating

Given the uncertainty around AI in the workplace, employees and leaders alike are bracing for disruptions. A staggering 75% of employees are concerned AI will make certain jobs obsolete — and more alarmingly, about two-thirds (65%) say they are anxious about AI replacing their job. Employees overwhelmingly have concerns that AI will hurt their financial wellbeing and professional growth, including: • Negatively impact salary or pay (72%) • Losing out on promotions for not knowing how to use AI (67%) • Falling behind if they don’t use AI at work (66%) A lack of guidance from leaders on responsible usage is also fueling new anxieties. In fact, about two-thirds (65%) of employees are anxious about not knowing

how to use AI ethically, and a majority are concerned about the legal risks (77%) and cybersecurity risks (75%).

Generational differences impact worker perception of AI

Despite being the first true digital natives to enter the workforce, Gen Z employees are not the most likely to be using AI at work and significantly less convinced of its benefits compared to their Gen X and Millennial counterparts. According to the survey, Gen Z are less likely than other generations to: • Use AI at work (63% for Gen Z vs. 74% Millennials but on par with Gen X 70%) • Say AI will make them more efficient (72% for Gen Z vs. 89% Gen X and 85% Millennials) “It may be surprising that the most digitally connected segment of workers are not the most likely to be utilizing AI, but unlike their older counterparts, Gen Z’s concerns aren’t related to safety and security but whether the technology works,” said Marcie Merriman, EY Americas Cultural Insights & Customer Strategy Leader. “Building an AI-powered workforce will require business leaders to engage Gen Z employees in the integration process, educate them on the potential business benefits of the tools at their fingertips and get it right on the first try.”

Workers want guidance, transparency and regulation

AI anxiety hasn’t derailed excitement or growth — 90% of survey respondents work for an organization that has already adopted at least one AI technology, and about twothirds (67%) of employees have personally pushed for AI adoption at their organization. However, while 80% say more training/ upskilling would make them more comfortable using AI at work, nearly as many (73%) have concerns about their organization not offering sufficient training or upskilling. Even more worrisome is that 63% are anxious they won’t have access to AI learning opportunities. Employees also want transparency, with the majority saying they would view an organization more positively if it: • Offered AI responsibility/ethics training for employees (80%) • Created an AI responsibility/ethical task force (77%) • Had a trusted third-party review of AI built in the process (76%) But the burden of defining guardrails isn’t just on the employer: 4-in-5 (81%) employees believe AI technology organizations need to self-regulate more, and 78% say the government needs to play a bigger role in regulating AI technology.

Construction industry adds 11,000 jobs in January as severe weather hampers projects; above-average wage gains imply ongoing demand The construction industry added 11,000 jobs in January despite bouts of exceptionally cold or stormy weather that delayed projects in numerous regions, according to an analysis of new government data the Associated General Contractors of America released today. Association officials noted that firms are boosting wages and taking other steps to attract more workers as firms try to keep pace with relatively strong demand. “Although job gains were modest last month, other evidence suggests there is still lots of demand for workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Wages rose faster than in other sectors, job openings at the end of 2023 were at near-record levels for December, and construction spending jumped that month.” Construction employment in January totaled 8,137,000, seasonally adjusted, an increase of 11,000 or 0.1 percent from the upwardly revised December total. The sector has added 216,000 jobs during the past 12 months, a gain of 2.7 percent. Residential building and specialty trade contractors added 2,700 employees in January and 60,100 (1.8 percent) over 12 months. Employment at nonresidential construction firms— nonresidential building and specialty trade contractors along with heavy and civil engineering construction firms— climbed by 7,600 positions for the month and 155,100 (3.3 percent) since January 2023.

Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees in construction—covering most onsite craft workers as well as many office workers—climbed by 5.3 percent over the year to $35.21 per hour. Construction firms in December provided a wage “premium” of nearly 19 percent compared to the average hourly earnings for all private-sector production employees. Government reports on job openings and construction spending earlier this week show demand for construction workers and projects remains robust, the economist said. Job openings in construction at the end of December totaled 374,000, not seasonally adjusted, greatly exceeding the 227,000 workers hired and implying that contractors want to hire far more workers than they can find, Simonson said. In addition, spending on projects under way that month totaled $2.1 trillion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, 0.9 percent higher than in November and 14 percent higher than a year earlier. Association officials noted that too few workers are choosing to pursue careers in construction, despite the sector’s high wages. One reason for that is the paucity of construction education and training programs, particularly at the high school level. They urged federal officials to boost funding for construction education and training programs. They also called for allowing

and if senior leadership promoted using AI responsibly and ethically (77%). And employees are open to the AI opportunity despite their concerns: 4-in-5 see its value at work and believe it will make them more efficient (82%), more productive (81%) and able to focus on higher-value work (81%). “Leaders must prioritize upskilling every employee, redefine AI as augmented intelligence and proactively reshape work processes to avoid reducing workers to interface prompts,” Diasio said. Staff report

Build a culture of confidence to empower employees Employees play a crucial role in the successful integration of new technologies, so leaders must prioritize alleviating fear-based obstacles for their organization to harness the full potential of AI. The EY survey found employees would be more comfortable using AI at work if employees from all levels were involved in the adoption process (77%)

more people to lawfully enter the country to work in construction. “Considering most construction positions don’t require a college degree, construction careers offer an almost certain path to economic security,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s

chief executive officer. “Yet too few workers are ever exposed to the many career opportunities available to them in construction as policy makers continue to urge everyone to go to college instead.” Staff report

Pacaso unveils top US second home markets of 2023 and 2024 destinations to watch

Pacaso has released its third annual Top Second Home Markets Report, identifying the leading luxury second home markets for 2023 and introducing the top markets to watch in 2024. The report reveals the top ten counties across the U.S. that saw the biggest annual increases in second home transactions and the largest yearover-year appreciation for homes priced above one million dollars. In the list of top 10 markets for second home transactions this year, Newport County, Rhode Island, takes the lead with an impressive 64% surge in second home transactions in 2023, marking a significant increase from 2022. Fairfield County, Connecticut (14%) and Westchester County, New York (10%) stand out as New York City suburbs, showcasing the enduring appeal of metro-adjacent locations. On the West Coast, Douglas County, Nevada (13%), and Island County, Washington (11%), experienced significant year-over-year increases in second home transactions. Douglas County, nestled on the southeastern border of Lake Tahoe, while Island County, home to Whidbey Island, draws attention for its Pacific Northwest landscape. “In today’s dynamic real estate landscape, it’s no surprise to witness metro-adjacent counties like Fairfield and Westchester, leading the charts in second home transactions. With the onslaught of hybrid back-to-office policies by several companies, home buyers are seeking the perfect blend of spacious, naturecentric living, all while maintaining the convenience of a short train ride to the city,” said Pacaso CEO and Co-Founder Austin Allison.

Destinations to watch in 2024

The top market to keep an eye on in 2024 is Volusia County, Florida, witnessing a remarkable 47% year-over-year increase in average second home value. Volusia also experienced a surge in second home transactions, registering a 19% growth and ranking as the second-largest yearover-year expansion. Other counties experiencing significant appreciation trends include Washoe County, Nevada, home to Reno, which witnessed an impressive 26% increase in value from 2022, credited to its proximity to Lake Tahoe, absence of state income tax, and the appeal of less-crowded ski resorts like Mt. Rose. Meanwhile, Brunswick County, North Carolina, the state’s southernmost county, experienced a parallel 26% appreciation. Notably, Jefferson County, Colorado, a Denver suburb, saw an impressive 37% appreciation. Summit County, Utah, home to the popular year-round destination Park City, demonstrated an impressive 18% increase in second home values from 2022 to 2023. “Expedia recently highlighted the phenomenon of ‘destination dupes’— budget-friendly alternatives to popular locations—that have left a lasting impact on the travel scene,” said Allison. “It

seems this trend is extending into the real estate realm, with locales providing more affordable housing options while offering comparable amenities, access to outdoor activities, scenic beaches, and charming towns, akin to their more famous counterparts. Consider Bald Head Island, North Carolina, as a dupe to South Carolina’s Kiawah or the Charleston barrier islands, Mt. Rose as a substitute for Tahoe’s ski resorts, and even Golden, Colorado, as an alternative to the expected Colorado mountain towns.” Staff report

More than half of U.S. companies plan to increase hiring in the first half of 2024 The job market will remain resilient heading into 2024, research from talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half shows. According to the company’s State of U.S. Hiring Survey, 57% of respondents plan to add new permanent positions in the first six months of the year, while another 39% anticipate hiring for vacated positions. More than two-thirds (67%) expect to hire contract workers as part of their staffing strategy.

Company Growth Anticipated, and Projects Gain Momentum

Among managers who plan to increase hiring, more than two-thirds (66%) cited company growth as the primary factor influencing their hiring decisions for the first half of 2024. In addition, more than three-quarters (77%) of managers who had to put projects on hold in 2023 said they plan to pick them back up in the new year.

Hiring Challenges Persist

While hiring is expected to increase, finding the right talent may not be easy. According to the survey, 90% of hiring managers report difficulty finding skilled professionals, and 58% said it takes longer to hire for open roles compared to one year ago. Some of the top factors contributing to hiring challenges include: 1. Finding candidates who align with the company culture (49%) 2. Meeting candidates’ salary expectations (48%) 3. Lack of candidates applying for open roles (42%) “Job openings continue to exceed the number of professionals looking for work,” said Dawn Fay, operational president of Robert Half. “With hiring expected to increase early in the year, employers need to have a strategic hiring plan in order to land the talent they need.”

to prioritize employee engagement and retention to avoid turnover and loss of productivity. Routinely researching and adjusting compensation levels, offering flexible work, and implementing policies to alleviate burnout are all effective strategies.” Staff report

Housing sentiment remains stuck in low-level plateau The Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) Home Purchase Sentiment Index® (HPSI) decreased 0.6 points in November, remaining within the bounds of the lowlevel plateau it established in the first half of 2023. Consumers’ perceptions of homebuying conditions remain overwhelmingly pessimistic, as only 14% of consumers believe it’s a good time to buy a home, a new survey low. Pluralities of respondents also continue to expect both home prices and mortgage rates to increase over the next 12 months. Overall, the full index is up 7.0 points compared to last year. “Over the past year, the HPSI has plateaued at a low level, evidence of persistent consumer pessimism regarding the state of the housing market,” said Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae Senior Vice President and Chief Economist. “Looking back, consumer belief that it’s a ‘bad time to buy a home’ hit a survey high several times this year – including this month – and each time the pessimism could be attributed to high home prices and high mortgage rates. At the end of 2022, as mortgage rates approached 7%, a rate level not seen in over a decade, a plurality of consumers said they expected home prices to decrease; however, that optimism faded over the course of 2023. A significant majority of respondents have also continued to expect mortgage rates to increase or stay the same, though these expectations have tempered over the year. At the same time, consumers have expressed a reduced sense of financial security, with fewer respondents reporting household income growth over the year and a higher percentage saying their incomes remained the same.” Duncan continued: “The combination of persistent affordability challenges and less rosy household finances remain the primary drivers of the low-level plateauing of housing sentiment. Even if mortgage rates decline over the next year, which we currently expect, it’s unlikely to meaningfully affect affordability. The lack of housing inventory is likely to remain a challenge for some time, and home purchase sentiment may continue to be suppressed as a result. As our forecast indicates, we believe it will be a couple years before homes sales return to more normal, pre-pandemic levels.”

The share who think home prices will stay the same decreased from 36% to 35%. As a result, the net share of those who say home prices will go up in the next 12 months remained unchanged month over month. • Mortgage Rate Expectations: The percentage of respondents who say mortgage rates will go down in the next 12 months increased from 16% to 22%, while the percentage who expect mortgage rates to go up decreased from 47% to 44%.

As a result, the net share of those who say they are not concerned about losing their job decreased 4 percentage points month over month. • Household Income: The percentage of respondents who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago decreased from 20% to 19%, while the percentage who say their household income is significantly lower increased from 10% to 12%. The percentage who say their household income is about the same decreased from 69% to 68%. As a result, the net share of those who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago decreased 3 percentage points month over month. Staff report

MARGENAU: How your retirement benefit is calculated Q. Even though I’m not on Social Security, I’ve been reading your column for years. A while back, I had clipped out a column you wrote explaining how benefits are figured. And now that I’m getting ready to file for benefits, I can’t find that column. Can you please reprint it? And I also have a question. I do recall that you said a benefit is based on your highest 35 years of earnings. But I saw something on the Social Security Administration website that said it’s a 40-year base. Have the rules changed? A. I checked my past columns, and it’s been about a year since I explained how Social Security retirement benefits are figured. So, I guess it’s about time I do it again. And I’ll also explain why I’m right when I say it’s a 35-year base of earnings, and how the SSA website also is right when they say a 40-year base! In a nutshell, a Social Security retirement benefit is a percentage of your average monthly income using your highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings. So, what’s this 40-year base all about? Well, when you file for retirement benefits, the Social Security Administration will look at your earnings history and pull out your highest 40 years. They don’t have to be consecutive. But from that 40-year base, they drop out your five lowest years. So they end up using your highest 35 years of earnings to figure your benefit. If you don’t have 35 years of earnings, the SSA must plug in an annual salary of $0 for every year you did not work, until the 35-year base is reached. However, before they add up those “high 35,” they index each year of past earnings for inflation. And this is where the formula starts to get messy. That’s because there is a different adjustment factor for each year of earnings, and each year’s adjustment factor is different based on your year of birth. Here is a quick example. If you were born in 1962 and earned $20,000 in 1991, they would multiply those earnings by an inflation adjustment factor of 2.9, meaning they would actually use $58,000 as your 1991 earnings. But if you were born in 1960 and earned that same $20,000 in 1991, they would use an inflation factor of 2.5, resulting in

$50,000 as the 1991 earnings used in your Social Security computation. You can find a complete breakdown of those inflation adjustment factors for each year of birth at the Social Security Administration’s website: www.socialsecurity.gov. If you have a hard time negotiating that website, just Google “Social Security indexing factors” and it will lead you to the right place. The next step in the retirement computation formula is to add up your highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings. Then you divide by 420 -that’s the number of months in 35 years -- to get your average inflation-adjusted monthly income. The final step brings us to the “social” part of Social Security. The percentage of your average monthly income that comes back to you in the form of a Social Security benefit depends on your income. In a nutshell, the lower your average wage, the higher percentage rate of return you get. Once again, the actual formula is messy and varies depending on your year of birth. As an example, here is the formula for someone born in 1960. You take the first $1,024 of average monthly income and multiply it by 90%. You take the next $5,148 of your average monthly income and multiply that by 32%. And you take any remainder and multiply it by 15%. You can find a complete breakdown of those computation “bend points” at www. socialsecurity.gov. Or just Google “Social Security bend points” to find several sites that should help you. Believe it or not, that was the simple explanation for those who just want some kind of idea of how their Social Security retirement benefit will be figured. To summarize, it is a percentage of your average monthly income using your highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings. If this was a college course, you could think of it as Social Security Benefit Computation 101. But now I’m going to get into more advanced version of retirement benefit calculations for those who want to know the nitty-gritty of the process. I’ll start by introducing this term: the “primary insurance amount,” or PIA. The PIA is your basic retirement benefit upon which all future calculations will be based. The “raw PIA” is actually

some markets will keep rent growth restrained again,” state analysts, forecasting a tepid 1.5 percent rent growth nationally. The 2024 forecast calls for Midwest metros to lead rent growth, and the Sunbelt and West markets to continue to experience in-migration from the coasts both by residents and businesses. Sunbelt markets such as Austin, Nashville, Charlotte and Orlando are already seeing stalling rent growth, and despite robust population and job growth, they boast high levels of new supply, which will further suppress rents. On the investment front, already down by 70 percent year-over-year, multifamily sales will likely remain sluggish in 2024, due to the impact of interest rates and pricing uncertainty. Staff report

The 2024 Multifamily Outlook from Yardi® Matrix anticipates a year of challenges, including slowing national rent growth. National rent growth moderated to 0.4 percent year-over-year through November 2023, from a combined 23.5 percent in 2021 and 2022. Absorption stabilized at 300,000 apartment units in 2023, compared to 600,000 in 2021 and 200,000 in 2022. Yardi Matrix expects that rent growth and occupancy will be heavily tested next year. Of the 1.2 million apartment units under construction at the start of 2024, 510,000 are expected to be delivered by the end of the year, the highest number in decades. “We expect demand for multifamily to remain healthy in 2024, but headwinds that include slower job growth, increasing supply and waning affordability in

calculated at age 62. In other words, when the SSA pulls out your highest 35 years of earnings, they only use earnings up to age 62. Then that raw PIA gets “cooked,” or increased, to take into account any earnings you had after age 62 and to include any cost-ofliving adjustments (COLAs) that were authorized for Social Security benefits after the year you reached age 62. But it gets a little tricky when SSA does the recomputation for any earnings you have after age 62. If you worked full time until age 67, for example, you would assume that those earnings between age 62 and 67 would increase your PIA. After all, you figure, they are some of your highest-earning years, so they will become part of that “high 35.” But not necessarily. For reasons I can’t take the time to explain in this short column, earnings after age 60 are not indexed for inflation. They get calculated at current dollar value only. So, if your “raw PIA” was based on a full 35year history of high inflation-adjusted earnings, your current earnings may not be high enough to become part of your “high 35,” so they won’t increase your benefit. Or they might bump up the PIA, but not by much. In fact, I hear from readers all the time who tell me that they are confused because the benefit estimate they are getting from the SSA now (at age 67, let’s say) is not much more than the

estimate they got back at age 62. Their current benefit estimate includes the COLA increases, but either little or no bump for their post-62 earnings. The reason is that lack of inflation indexing after age 60. As you can see, the Social Security retirement benefit formula is pretty messy. But for most of you, I would say, don’t worry about it. Just let the SSA do it for you. Go to www.socialsecurity.gov, and click on the “Plan for Retirement” icon on the homepage. It will walk you through the process of finding out what your Social Security benefit will be. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has two books with all the answers. One is called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart: 10 Easyto-Understand Fact Sheets That Will Answer All Your Questions About Social Security.” The other is “Social Security: 100 Myths and 100 Facts.” You can find the books at Amazon.com or other book outlets.

GOLDMAN: Looking for motivation at work? Join the crowd. 2024 is only one month old and already the reality of your job situation has set in. It isn’t pretty. You could quit, of course, but since you’ve developed the habit of eating regularly, the only alternative is to make some changes. The day to start is today. Wait longer and the smidgeon of motivation you’re feeling now is sure to dissolve. Just like it did last year, and year before that and -- well, no one said third grade was going to be easy. If you are struggling, you are not alone. A recent report from VoiceNation “revealed that 37% of U.S. workers struggle with the tasks expected of them in their job roles.” That’s a big number, but it’s nothing compared to the Deloitte Well-Being at Work Survey that reported “84% of respondents say improving their well-being is a top priority” with 80% admitting they “face significant hurdles,” including “long work hours, a stressful job and a heavy workload.” Sound familiar? You need Caroline Castrillon, the author of a recent Forbes article, “10 Ways to Motivate Yourself When You’re Struggling at Work.” Is 2024 the year you finally take a chance and make the effort required to emerge gloriously from your career cocoon, successful and struggle-free? Or will you do what always works -- just give up? Let’s find out together. No. 1: Break down big tasks. By breaking large projects into more manageable bites, “You can celebrate milestones along the way,” Caroline Castrillon writes, “which will help you stay motivated.” Next time you get a major project, start by spending the first week shopping for

HOME-SELLING FROM PAGE 1

Profit margins drop in twothirds of nation, with worst declines in South or West

Profit margins on typical home sales decreased from 2022 to 2023 in 84 of the 129 metro areas with sufficient data to analyze (65 percent). That happened as the 2.3 percent jump in the median sale price nationwide in 2023 fell behind the typical 4.4 percent increase recent sellers had been paying when they originally bought their homes. The 40 largest decreases in investment returns were all in the South or West, led by Port St. Lucie, FL (ROI down from 104.5 in 2022 to 82.7 percent in 2023); Austin, TX (down from 67.2 percent to 46.2 percent); Phoenix, AZ (down from 79.3 percent to 60.6 percent); Reno, NV (down from 80.6 percent to 64.5 percent) and Salt Lake City, UT (down from 68.3 percent of 52.2 percent). Aside from Austin, Phoenix and Salt Lake City, the largest ROI losses from 2022 to 2023 in metro areas with a population of at least 1 million were in San Francisco, CA (ROI down from 92.7 percent to 79.5 percent) and Las Vegas, NV (down from 74.3 percent to 61.8 percent). The biggest increases in investment returns from 2022 to 2023 came in Scranton, PA (ROI up from 75.1 percent to 89.6 percent); South Bend, IN (up from

the office supplies needed to complete the assignment. Search the net, read reviews, plug in the company’s spiffy new artificial intelligence program. Once you have the right materials, call the team together to celebrate your selection of the Hello Kitty Zebra Mechanical pencil, the Hello Kitty Mini Stapler and the Hello Kitty Mini Die-Cut Sticky Notes (the ice cream cone is adorable). Be sure to include your managers. Once they see the progress you’ve made, they’re sure to reward you, mightily, by taking you off the project altogether. Now that’s something to celebrate. No. 2: Remove distractions. What could be more frustrating than being unable to finish a project because you’re so busy responding to emails demanding to know why you haven’t finished the project? The strategy here is to “set aside multiple time blocks on your calendar when you read and respond to emails.” The ideal time block for accepting emails is between 2:00 a.m. and 2:15 a.m. Specify you will respond to these emails in a three-day time block, starting the next time the moon is in Jupiter and Mars is ascendent -- if they’re lucky. HR might balk at adding an astrologer to the team, but it’s a small price to pay to rid yourself of distractions.

Your community is sure to become a lot closer when you threaten to reveal these secrets at the next team meeting. Include your manager in your detective weekends and you’ll never again have to worry about job security, guaranteed.

No. 3: Cultivate a sense of community. “Many people find themselves struggling at work because they feel isolated,” writes Castrillon. The strategy here is to get to know the people you work with. Spending your weekends following your team members and managers is the best way to discover that the obnoxious foodie in marketing -who won’t eat chicken without knowing

No. 4: Find meaning in your work. Castrillon says that “Feeling that your role has a purpose beyond day-to-day tasks can help boost your self-esteem and productivity.” Can’t quantify how your job benefits the “greater good?” Consider that without you to sit in it, your office chair could roll out into the aisle, tripping a co-worker, causing them to drop the pet baby bunny

Aside from Hartford and Rochester, metro areas with a population of at least 1 million and increasing profit margins in 2023 included Cincinnati, OH (up from 54.8 percent to 61.2 percent); Cleveland, OH (up from 48 percent to 53.4 percent) and Milwaukee, WI (up from 52.9 percent to 57.2 percent).

Homeownership tenure up to two-year high

Gross profits still top $100,000 in more than half the country, with largest again clustered on West Coast

Despite the small national decrease, gross profits on median-priced home sales in 2023 still topped $100,000 in 77, or 60 percent, of the 129 metro areas with sufficient data to analyze. The West region had 12 of the top 15 gross profits in 2023, led by San Jose, CA ($698,000); San Francisco, CA ($476,000); San Diego, CA ($354,000); Los Angeles, CA ($330,000) and Seattle, WA ($325,000). The 15 smallest gross profits in 2023 were in the South and Midwest, reflecting lower home prices in those areas than elsewhere. They were led by Peoria, IL ($35,500); Davenport, IA ($41,052); McAllen, TX ($46,167); Baton Rouge, LA ($47,600) and Toledo, OH ($49,800).

Homeowners in the U.S. who sold in the fourth quarter of 2023 had owned their homes an average of 7.96 years, up from 7.8 years in the third quarter and from 7.67 years in the fourth quarter of 2022. The latest figure represented the high point since the third quarter of 2021. Average seller tenures were up, year over year, in 80, or 71 percent, of the 113 metro areas with a population of at least 200,000 and sufficient data to analyze. The biggest increases in average seller tenure from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the fourth quarter of 2023 were in Chico, CA (up 20.9 percent); Modesto, CA (up 12.7 percent); Clearlake, CA (up 11.9 percent); Madera, CA (up 11.2 percent) and Tucson, AZ (up 10.5 percent). The longest tenures for home sellers in the fourth quarter of 2023 were in Barnstable, MA (14.18 years); Santa Cruz, CA (13.2 years); Bridgeport, CT (13.14 years); New Haven, CT (13.08 years) and Worcester, MA (12.57 years).

Cash sales at high point since 2014

Nationwide, all-cash purchases accounted for 38 percent, or about one of every three single-family home and condo sales in 2023 - the highest level since 2014. The latest portion was up from 36.1 percent in 2022, although still off from the

Lender-owned foreclosure purchases in U.S. up slightly, but still at one of lowest levels since 2005

Wealth disparities by race grew during the pandemic, despite income gains, report shows NEW YORK (AP) — A strong performance in financial markets, particularly an outsize gain for the stock market in 2021, helped entrench existing trends of wealth inequality during the pandemic, new data released this week show. According to a report from the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the real net worth of white individuals outgrew that of Black and Hispanic individuals by 30 percentage points and 9 percentage points respectively, from the first quarter of 2019 through the second quarter of 2023. The period featured a remarkable level of government financial support and, after the initial shock of the pandemic, a surprisingly strong job market. The unemployment rate for Black Americans in particular is now at 5.3%, near a record low, compared to an overall unemployment rate of 3.7%. Earnings for the typical Black full-time worker are up 7.1% since before the pandemic. Closing the wealth gap is more difficult because a significantly larger number of white households traditionally have money in stocks and mutual funds. A separate Fed survey shows that as of 2022, about 65.6% of white households had investments in stocks, compared with 28.3% for Hispanic households and 39.2% for Black households. “The study really shows the difference

between making gains when it comes to income, and closing that gap, versus when it comes to wealth,” said Janelle Jones, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. While government support such as increased unemployment benefits and stimulus checks helped stave off a COVIDinduced recession, financial asset prices rose so significantly with the reopening of the economy through 2021 that racial wealth disparities increased. And while those market-linked assets did fall in 2022 when the Federal Reserve rapidly increased interest rates, “those declines did not fully offset the earlier rises,” according to the New York Fed. “Much of the divergence in net worth by race and ethnicity since 2019 can be attributed to divergence in the real values of financial asset holdings,” wrote the report’s authors — including the fact that Black households have more wealth concentrated in pensions than in stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. More than 50% of Black financial wealth is invested in pensions, the New York Fed found. Less than 20% of Black wealth is stored in private businesses, corporate equities, and mutual funds. In contrast, less than 30% of white financial wealth is invested in pensions, with about

50% invested in businesses, equities, and mutual funds. “Black workers are still more likely to be unionized, which may play a part in the pension story,” said Jones. “But how folks are exposed to the ability to invest in the stock market — whether or not it’s something they grow up doing — we know that’s different for white families than for people of color.” Black family members are less likely to get an inheritance, she said. During the pandemic, the real value of Black-held financial assets dropped in 2022 to below its 2019 level and continued to decline steadily, while the real value of Hispanic-held financial assets dipped below its 2019 level in 2022 and stagnated. Neither group’s real financial assets have recovered to their 2019 values. Owning a business is another component of financial wealth, and separate data show Black-owned businesses had a tougher time during the pandemic. While less than 10% of all U.S. business owners are Black, Black-owned businesses were also more concentrated in industries hardest hit when COVID first spread, according to Economic Policy Institute analysis of government data. In April of 2020, more than 40% of Black business owners reported they were not working, compared with only 17% of white business owners.

The industries with the largest total job losses early in the pandemic were also sectors where more Blackowned businesses are concentrated — accommodation, food services, retail, health care, and social assistance. About 28% of Black-owned businesses are found in these industries, compared with just under 20% of white-owned businesses, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Still, Treasury Deputy Secretary Walley Adeyemo said Wednesday that economic conditions are improving for Black households, citing rising employment and wages for Black Americans since before the pandemic, and an increase in Black business ownership and participation in the stock market. Adeyemo suggested that some “policy prescriptions” might be needed to even out the distribution of financial wealth in the U.S. “The gap between Black and white wealth in America is still too great,” he said. ___ “The Associated Press receives support from Charles Schwab Foundation for educational and explanatory reporting to improve financial literacy.
