HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 15 -- The National Association of Realtors posted the following news release:

NAR Forecast: Home Sales Expected to Jump 14% in 2026
Mortgage rates are expected to ease to roughly 6% next year
*
Existing-home sales are projected to rise by around 14% in 2026, according to National Association of REALTORS(R) Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. Yun delivered his 2026 housing outlook today during the Residential Economic Issues and Trends Forum at NAR NXT, The REALTOR(R) Experience (https://narnxt.realtor/), in Houston.
Yun said the expected rebound reflects easing mortgagerates, continued job gains, and improving market stability after several challenging years. Home prices are forecast to increase by 4% next year, supported by steady demand and persistent supply shortages.
"Next year is really the year that we will see a measurable increase in sales," Yun said. "Home prices nationwide are in no danger of declining."
Mortgage rates are projected to decline modestly, averaging around 6% in 2026. Yun emphasized that while rates are influenced by more than Federal Reserve decisions alone, broader economic factors are contributing to gradually lower borrowing costs.
"As we go into next year, the mortgage rate will be a little bit better," said Yun. "It's not going to be a big decline, but it will be a modest decline that will improve affordability."
Buyers will see the greatest affordability improvements in regions where new housing supply is most robust, particularly high-construction markets like Houston. Expanding inventory in such areas will help more first-time buyers achieve homeownership.
"Houston is creating more home construction, and therefore making home prices much more reasonable," said Yun. "Given the job creation, buyers will inevitably be showing up to Houston once the mortgage rate goes down."
Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research, presented insights from the newly released 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers (https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers), highlighting how shifting demographics are reshaping today's housing market.
Lautz noted that the typical age of a home buyer today is 59 and the typical age of a repeat buyer is 62. She also shared that the number one reason people move today is because they want to be closer to friends and family.
"I call this the grandbaby effect," Lautz said. "This is a different type of buyer."
In contrast, first-time buyers continue to face steep challenges, with the share of first-time buyers hitting an all-time low of 21% and the median first-time buyer age reaching 40.
"The biggest struggle first-time buyers have is finding an affordable property, and many of them struggle to save for a down payment," said Lautz. "The biggest source of pain that they are citing is high rent and student loan debt."
Despite the affordability challenges, use of real estate agents remains strong among both buyers and sellers. Lautz shared that 88% of buyers and 91% of sellers used an agent or broker in their most recent transaction.
Lautz cited the value agents provide in "pricing the home competitively in a changing market, marketing that home, and finding a qualified buyer."

NABIP Statement on the Reopening of the Federal Government
The National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (NABIP) welcomes the reopening of the federal government but cautions that the short-term funding measure offers only temporary stability while delaying action on the nation's most pressing healthcare challenges affecting families, individuals, seniors, and businesses alike.
"This continuingresolution ensures the government remains open, but it falls short of delivering the long-term, sustainable solutions that Americans deserve," said Jessica Brooks-Woods, CEO of NABIP. "While we're relieved that essential services can continue, Congress must now focus on tackling the escalating costs of healthcare that are burdening families, retirees, and employers across the country."
Among the most immediate concerns are the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits, which are set to expire before January unless extended. Without Congressional action, millions of middle-income families could face significant premium increases in the coming year. NABIP strongly urges lawmakers to extend these credits for at least two more years to safeguard consumers from sudden, unaffordable premium spikes and preserve the stability of our health coverage system.
"Enrollment is happening right now, and the number one concern we're hearing from agents and brokers nationwide is the rising cost of care," Brooks-Woods continued. "They're hearing it from the people they serve -- small businesses, families, retirees, and large employers. This is a bipartisan issue that affects every American, and it demands bipartisan solutions."
NABIP calls on all stakeholders--policymakers, industry leaders, employers, healthcare professionals, and community advocates--to act now. Together, we must advance meaningful reforms that lower costs, strengthen transparency, and create a healthcare system that is affordable, equitable, and responsive to the needs of all Americans.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 [Category: Financial Services] -- The Mortgage Bankers Association posted the following news release:

Mortgage Delinquencies Increase in the Third Quarter of 2025
*
WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 14, 2025) The delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties increased to a seasonally adjusted rate of 3.99 percent of all loans outstanding at the end of the third quarter of 2025, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) National Delinquency Survey.
The delinquency rate was up 6 basis points from the second quarter of 2025 andup 7 basis points from one year ago. The percentage of loans on which foreclosure actions were started in the third quarter rose by 3 basis points to 0.20 percent.
"Mortgage delinquencies increased in third quarter of 2025, led by worsening FHA loan performance," said Marina Walsh, CMB, MBA's Vice President of Industry Analysis. "Since this time last year, the FHA seriously delinquent rate - which includes 90+ day delinquencies and loans in foreclosure - increased by almost 50 basis points. In contrast, the conventional and VA seriously delinquent rates remained relatively flat."
Added Walsh, "The stressors on FHA homeowners include a softer labor market, other personal debt obligations, and increases in taxes, homeowners' insurance and other fees that exacerbate already stretched affordability. Additionally, home price declines in some parts of the country may lessen the ability to sell or refinance."
Walsh also noted that while the third quarter results were not impacted by the ending of COVID-era FHA loss mitigation options and the recent government shutdown, those events may affect future quarters.
Key findings of MBA's Third Quarter of 2025 National Delinquency Survey:
* Compared to last quarter, the seasonally adjusted mortgage delinquency rate increased for all loans outstanding. By stage, the 30-day delinquency rate increased 2 basis points to 2.12 percent, the 60-day delinquency rate increased 4 basis points to 0.76 percent, and the 90-day delinquency bucket remained unchanged at 1.11 percent.
* By loan type, the total seasonally adjusted delinquency rate for conventional loans increased 2 basis points to 2.62 percent over the previous quarter. The total FHA seasonally adjusted delinquency rate increased 21 basis points to 10.78 percent, and the total VA seasonally adjusted delinquency rate increased 18 basis points to 4.50 percent.
* On a year-over-year basis, total mortgage delinquencies increased for all loans outstanding. The delinquency rate decreased 1 basis point for conventional loans, increased 32 basis points for FHA loans and decreased 8 basis points for VA loans from the previous year.
* The delinquency rate includes loans that are at least one payment past due but does not include loans in the process of foreclosure. The percentage of loans in the foreclosure process at the end of the third quarter was 0.50 percent, up 2 basis points from the second quarter of 2025 and 5 basis points higher than one year ago.
* The non-seasonally adjusted seriously delinquent rate, the percentage of loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, was 1.61 percent. It increased 4 basis points from last quarter and increased 6 basis points from last year. The seriously delinquent rate decreased 2 basis points for conventional loans, increased 30 basis points for FHA loans, and decreased 1 basis point for VA loans from the previous quarter. Compared to a year ago, the seriously delinquent rate decreased 4 basis points for conventional loans, increased 47 basis points for FHA loans and increased 4 basis points for VA loans.
* The five states with the largest quarterly increases in their overall delinquency rate were: Arizona (29 basis points), Louisiana (28 basis points), Indiana (28 basis points), Iowa (26 basis points), and Texas (24 basis points).
For the purposes of the survey, MBA asks servicers to report loans in forbearance as delinquent if the payment was not made based on the original terms of the mortgage.
NOTE: For non-seasonally-adjusted (NSA) supplemental information on the performance of servicing portfolios by investor type, loans in forbearance by investor type, and the status of post-forbearance workouts, as well as servicer call volume metrics, please refer to MBA's Monthly Loan Monitoring Survey at www.mba.org/lms.

Announcement Builds onMayor Adams' Commitment to Supporting New Yorkers with Serious Mental Illness and Treating Mental Health Crises as Public Health Issue
B-HEARD Teams Have Responded to Nearly 35,000 Calls Since Launching in 2021
Nov 14, 2025
New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced a major evolution of Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division (B-HEARD) the city's health-led response to 911 mental health calls that will shift the focus even further towards a health-first response by streamlining management to be fully operated and managed by NYC Health + Hospitals in the coming months. As part of the transition, Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) emergency medical technicians (EMTs) previously assigned to B-HEARD will be reassigned to other emergency response units as part of the city's efforts to improve ambulance response times in cases of emergencies. This change will preserve EMTs for the most critical medical emergency responses while enabling B-HEARD to continue featuring medical and mental health professionals for nonviolent mental health 911 calls. After the transition, B-HEARD will continue to send out response teams to nonviolent 911 mental health calls with medical and mental health professionals. The new model is expected to take effect in the spring of 2026. Today's announcement further builds on Mayor Adams' commitment to supporting New Yorkers with serious mental illness and treating the city's mental health crisis as a public health issue.
"Today, we are proud to announce a new model for our city's response to 911 mental health calls that will be fully operated by NYC Health + Hospitals," said Mayor Adams. "This new model for B-HEARD will allow our FDNY EMTs the opportunity to focus further on other emergency response units as part of our city's efforts to improve ambulance response times and use our resources more efficiently, while still addressing mental health emergencies we continue to see playing out in our city. From day one, our administration's goal has been to keep New Yorkers safe and to help those struggling with severe mental illness; doing this means we must provide treatment and support to those in crises in the most efficient and compassionate way possible. We are building a culture of compassion in the name of public safety, public health, and the public interest, and we are proud to be delivering just that."
"NYC Health + Hospitals is proud to be the largest provider of behavioral health services in New York City, and our commitment to the city's innovative B-HEARD program is unwavering,"said NYC Health + Hospitals President and CEO Mitchell Katz, MD. "We are grateful to our outstanding partners in the program's first iteration, and we look forward to continuing its evolution as we serve New Yorkers in mental health crisis."
Launched in 2021, B-HEARD was created as an interagency collaboration between the FDNY and NYC Health + Hospitals with oversight from the Mayor's Office of Community Mental Health (OCMH). During its initial years of operation, B-HEARD partnered EMTs and mental health clinicians to respond as a team to 911 mental health calls without violence or weapons as the primary concern.
Over the life of the program between its launch in 2021 through June 2025 B-HEARD teams have responded to nearly 35,000 mental health 911 calls. Of the patients who received a mental health assessment by a NYC Health + Hospitals clinician, 43 percent were served in the community instead of being transported to a hospital emergency department. B-HEARD teams work to understand each individual's needs, de-escalate situations, and, whenever possible, connect with family members and the individual's existing clinicians to determine the best path forward. The program achieved an overwhelming patient-satisfaction rate with 96 percent of survey respondents reporting B-HEARD helped them and 94 percent agreeing that the B-HEARD response was more appropriate for their needs than the traditional emergency response they had previously received. Each B-HEARD response reflects New York City's commitment to responding to the mental health crisis with the most appropriate care and reducing unnecessary use of a hospital's emergency department and of police resources.
NYC Health + Hospitals is the largest provider of behavioral health in New York City. The system provides over 60 percent of behavioral health services citywide, serving over 78,000 patients annually across emergency, inpatient, and outpatient care.
Commitment to Mental Health
In 2023, Mayor Adams announced a sweeping mental health agenda, " Care, Community, Action: A Mental Health Plan for New York City," with $20 million in new commitments that invested in, among other initiatives, an online hub to connect New Yorkers with serious mental illness to care, as well as a substantial expansion of the clubhouse program.
Alongside the Adams administration's focus on mental health, Mayor Adams also launched " HealthyNYC " in November 2023, an ambitious plan to extend the average lifespan of all New Yorkers by, among other things, reducing the impact of mental-health-related deaths like overdoses, suicide, and homicides by 2030. Additionally, HealthyNYC expands access to culturally-responsive mental health care and social support services, including early intervention for communities of color and LGBTQIA+ youth, and helps address the impact of social media on youth mental health and suicidal ideation to reduce suicide deaths.
Later that month, Mayor Adams announced "Teenspace" the city's tele-mental health service available to all New York City teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 years old at no cost. In the first six months of the program, the service created in partnership with online therapy platform Talkspace allowed more than 6,800 New York City teenagers to connect with a licensed therapist through phone, video, and text for free.
The announcement builds on the work of the Adams administration in addressing the crises of severe mental illness on New York City streets. In August 2025, Mayor Adams launched the " End the Culture of Anything Goes " campaign to highlight the work the administration has done to change the culture and laws that prevented people with severe mental illness from getting the help they needed while making the investments necessary to support outreach, harm reduction, wraparound services, and housing to make lasting impacts in lives and communities. As part of this campaign, Mayor Adams made a series of announcements promoting the administration's efforts to help New Yorkers struggling with severe mental illness and substance addiction while simultaneously addressing quality of life and public safety on New York City streets, including:
* Announcing a major milestone to connect over 3,500 homeless New Yorkers from streets and subways to permanent housing, including over 1,000 New Yorkers from the subways as a result of Mayor Adams' Subway Safety Plan, first launched in 2022.
* An expansion of the NYPD's Quality of Life Division, or "Q-Teams," announced earlier this year, to every precinct and all housing commands citywide. Q-Teams focus on tackling daily issues that impact New Yorkers' sense of safety and well-being, including cracking down on illegal mopeds, towing abandoned vehicles, cleaning up encampments, addressing outdoor drug use, responding to noise complaints, and more.
* Opening of 13 newly contracted clubhouses the city's first procurement of clubhouses in nearly 30 years to support people with severe mental illness thanks to a $30 million investment by the Adams administration.
* Launching the city's first-ever Involuntary Transports Dashboard, which allows New Yorkers to track trends in involuntary transports and better understand how the city connects individuals with emergency psychiatric care, while simultaneously upholding the administration's commitment to transparency.
* Announcing a new proposal to further support New Yorkers' struggling with substance use disorder and to address public drug use, as well as a $27 million investment focused on improving access to substance use disorder treatment through outreach and enhanced treatment strategies.
* Opening the Bridge to Home facility, a new, innovative support model designed to help patients living with severe mental illness who are ready to be discharged from the hospital but do not have a place to go.
* Opening two additional Extended Care Units in the city's public hospitals, where patients can stay for up to 120 days after being discharged from an inpatient psychiatric unit, receive psychopharmacological treatment, and pursue rehabilitative activities.
Strong Fiscal Management
In the lead up to the upcoming November 2025 Financial Plan Update, Mayor Adams recently announced a new investment that will increase the unformed headcount of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) by 5,000 officers, increasing the total number of officers to 40,000 the highest level in 20 years by Fiscal Year (FY) 2029. Mayor Adams is making an investment of $17.8 million in the upcoming fiscal year that will increase to $315.8 million by FY 2029 to support the phased-in hiring of the additional 5,000 officers by July 2028.
Today's announcement follows Mayor Adams' long history of strong fiscal management, including delivering an on-time, balanced, and fiscally-responsible $115.9 billion Adopted Budget earlier this year, which built on the FY 2026 Executive Budget, often called the " Best Budget Ever." The Executive Budget doubled down on Mayor Adams' commitment to make New York City the best place to raise a family by, among other things, investing in " After-School for All," a $755-million plan to deliver universal after-school programming to families of children in kindergarten through eighth grade; baselining funding for 3-K citywide expansion and special education pre-K to build on the administration's work to dramatically expand access to early childhood education; investing over $400 million to fully fund the transformation of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan into a world-class, pedestrian-centered boulevard; and revitalizing " The Arches," the public space on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge. The FY 2026 Adopted Budget was also the first to implement Mayor Adams' landmark "Axe the Tax for the Working Class" plan, which abolishes and cuts New York City's personal income tax for filers with dependents living at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty line. Because of this plan which the Adams administration successfully fought to pass in Albany this budget cycle $63 million will go back into the pockets of over 582,000 low-income New York filers, including their dependents, helping make New York City more affordable for working-class families.
