U.S. foreclosure activity continues to increase quarterly nearing pre-pandemic levels

ATTOM has released its Q3 2022 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 92,634 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — up 3 percent from the previous quarter and 104 percent from a year ago.

The report also shows there were a total of 31,836 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings in September 2022, down 8 percent from the previous month but up 62 percent from September 2021.

National rent growth cools to the

September data confirms a fall cooldown has come to the rental market, as national rent growth dropped to its lowest annual pace (+7.8%) since June 2021, according to the Realtor. com® Monthly Rental Report. In another sign of more typical seasonal moderation than last year, the U.S. median rental price posted its second monthover-month decline in eight months in September, further slipping from its July peak.

“After more than a year of double-digit yearly rent gains and nearly as many months of record-high rents, it’s especially important to see consistency before we confirm a major shift like the recent rental market cooldown. But September data provides that evidence, as national rents continued to pull back from their latest all-time high registered just two months ago,” said Realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale. “This return of more seasonal norms indicates that rental markets

are charting a path back toward a more typical balance between supply and demand, compared to the previous year. We expect rent growth to keep slowing in the months ahead, partly driven by the impact of inflation on renters’ budgets. However, it’s unlikely that rents will return to a more normal pre-COVID pace of growth for at least another year, when available rental inventory starts to reflect the recent uptick in multifamily new construction.”

National rent cooldown continues, offering renters relief from rising prices

September marked the second straight month of consistent moderation in national rents, in terms of both the annual growth rate remaining in single-digit territory and continued month-over-month price declines. These trends are mirroring the earlier shift in forsale housing, suggesting that the rental market is following similar patterns of more typical

seasonal cooling as part of the real estate refresh from the 2021 frenzy. However, like this year’s homebuyers, renters are still facing significantly higher housing costs than in prior years, with national rents for all unit sizes at more than 1.2 times their 2020 levels in September. As a result, rental affordability remains a significant challenge, especially as inflation continues to outpace wage growth.

• For the second month in a row, the U.S. median rental price for 0-2 bedroom units ($1,759) grew at a single-digit year-over-year pace (+7.8%) and dropped on a month-overmonth basis, bringing total declines in September over July’s peak to $22.

• Although yearly rent growth moderated to its slowest annual pace since June 2021 (+8.5%), it remained more than two-times faster than the yearly rate in March 2020 (+3.3%) at the onset of COVID. Additionally, national

rents were 24.8% higher in September compared to the same month in 2019.

• Rent growth for larger units also cooled in September, with two-bedroom ($1,941) and one-bedroom ($1,647) median rental prices both rising at a single-digit year-over-year pace for the second month in a row, up 6.4% and 7.7% respectively.

• Despite outpacing larger unit rents in September, studio rental prices followed a similar pattern of deceleration in September, dropping $15 from the July peak to a median of $1,483. However, studios were the only unit size to maintain a double-digit annual growth pace in rents, up 10.1% (+$136) from September 2021.

Sun Belt rental markets moderate; big tech city rents keep climbing

Just as September’s national rental trends reflected a shift toward relatively normal patterns, local rental markets showed a return to more typical activity. On the one hand, many Sun Belt metros showed substantial signs of yearly rental growth moderation in September, a marked reversal from the area’s dramatic rent increases during the pandemic.

On the other hand, urban rents are making up for lost time from their COVID slowdown as more Americans once again embrace downtown offices and lifestyles. In fact, big tech cities were among the only large markets to post double-digit annual rent gains in September.

In September, rental prices grew at a double-digit annual pace in just eight large metros, including many of the nation’s major tech cities. In rank order, the biggest rent gains year-overyear were registered in: Chicago (+23.9%), Boston (+19.9%), New

First-time home buyers are back, despite affordability challenges

First-time home buyers have returned to the housing market and those who can afford a home are finding success after years of setbacks. The share of buyers purchasing a home for the first time has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. First-time buyers now represent 45% of all buyers, up from 37% of buyers surveyed last year, according to Zillow’s 2022 Consumer Housing Trends Report. If they can overcome affordability challenges, first-time buyers could be well positioned to continue increasing their share in today’s shifting market, with more options and time to decide on the right home.

The share of first-time buyers plummeted during the pandemic amid rapidly rising home values and tough competition, even with high demand coming from the large millennial generation. Zillow research found younger, likely first-time shoppers were losing out to older, repeat buyers who were able to tap the equity in their existing homes and use cash to make a stronger offer. A Zillow survey found younger buyers were more likely to report losing to an allcash buyer at least once, as was the case for 45% of Gen Z and 38% of millennial buyers, compared to 30% of all buyers.

“First-time buyers now appear to be making relative gains as high mortgage interest rates disproportionately encourage current homeowners to stay put,” said Zillow population scientist Manny Garcia. “The flow of homes into the market is slowing, suggesting homeowners are likely comparing their current low mortgage rate to today’s rates and deciding not to move. While rising mortgage rates are hurting affordability for all buyers, firsttime buyers may be less deterred by higher

rates because they’re comparing a monthly mortgage payment to what they’re paying in rent.”

First-time buyers are making up a larger share of a smaller pie. Newly pending home sales were down 29% in August, compared to a year prior, as buyers struggle to keep up with higher home prices and interest rates. Home values remain 14.1% higher than last year, even after two consecutive monthover-month declines. When combined with rising mortgage interest rates, the typical monthly payment on a home is nearly 60% higher today than it was a year ago.

Recent Zillow research finds those affordability challenges have driven up demand for the lowest-priced homes in each market. While there are fewer buyers overall, first-time buyers may find more competition for starter homes.

The silver lining is that today’s muchneeded market rebalancing has the potential to especially benefit first-time buyers, who have the flexibility to shop without trying to time the purchase of their new home with the sale of an existing home. Listings typically lingered 16 days on the market in August before going under contract, compared to eight days in June, meaning buyers have twice as much time to decide on a home compared to this time last year. First-time buyers may also have more bargaining power as a growing number of sellers drop their prices. The share of listings with a price cut grew to roughly 28% in August, according to Zillow’s latest monthly market report.

As the market changes, aspiring firsttime buyers may need to change their approach. Zillow has gathered tools that can help shoppers make the leap to

homeownership on one easy-to-navigate web page. These five tips are a good starting point:

1. Understand what’s affordable. As mortgage interest rates fluctuate, aspiring buyers can start with a mortgage calculator and Zillow’s affordability tools to understand what they can realistically afford on a monthly basis. Zillow’s calculators take into account some of the hidden costs of homeownership, such as property tax, insurance and HOA dues, which can add up to more than $750 per month. But it’s always best to leave some wiggle room in the budget for unexpected maintenance projects and emergency repairs. Firsttime shoppers should also explore down payment assistance programs they may qualify for on every listing on Zillow.

2. Finance first. First-time buyers can gain a competitive edge by getting pre-approved for a mortgage. A Zillow survey finds 86% of sellers prefer a buyer who has been pre-approved, as opposed to pre-qualified, for a mortgage. This financial check gives sellers more certainty that a buyer will close on time, and it allows buyers to make a stronger, faster offer the minute the right home hits the market. Buyers can start the pre-approval process online. Don’t hesitate to try, try, try again. Nearly half of all first-time buyers (47%) are denied a mortgage at least once before ultimately getting approved.

3. Hire the right agent. An experienced agent will have a finger

on the pulse of their local market and know all the changes happening in it, and they can help buyers make strategic decisions to win. They’ll know when to come in with an offer under list price or when to expect a bidding war. Buyers can click Agent Finder on the Zillow homepage to read customer reviews and check out an agent’s recent sale history. They should plan on interviewing their top candidates and asking the right questions.

4. Shop smarter with tech. New real estate technology can help first-time buyers make faster, smarter decisions. Tools like Zillow’s multi-location search filter and Homes to Compare let shoppers find available listings in different areas and evaluate up to five homes side by side. Virtual 3D Home tours and interactive floor plans give shoppers a more authentic experience of a home, allowing them to quickly narrow down their options and tour fewer homes in person.

5. Keep the contingencies. With less competition, first-time buyers should have the leverage to include important contingencies in their offers that could potentially save them a lot of money in the long run. An inspection contingency can identify major structural, mechanical or safety issues that could be extremely costly to repair and cause buyer’s remorse. A financing or appraisal contingency will ensure a buyer can walk away with their earnest money if a home fails to be appraised for the offer price or if their financing falls through.

talent research shows

Symphony Talent has released research of hundreds of talent acquisition professionals and leaders that reveals pressing concerns over the threat of recession, the inability to find people who are qualified with the right skills, and a lack of confidence in hiring technology.

The study, conducted by a third-party research firm on behalf of Symphony Talent, revealed that the Great Resignation was not as much of a concern as many might think given all the ink the topic garnered in the past year. Hiring teams say the technologies they use to find, attract, and hire workers are hindering more than helping because they are used in a patchwork, making it impossible to diagnose why they can’t fill jobs fast enough or find qualified candidates.

“Survey respondents overwhelmingly are looking for advanced technology that will give them better visibility across every touch point that a candidate has with a brand in the hiring process so they can outpace the companies competing for the same talent,” said Kermit Randa, CEO of Symphony Talent. “What is surprising is that despite all the investment that HR is making in talent acquisition solutions, hiring teams feel like they are falling behind and need to up their game to adapt to constantly changing market factors.”

The survey included over 300 talent acquisition practitioners and leaders in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, technology, and financial services, with the findings having a 5.6% margin of error at a 95% confidence level.

Some research highlights include:

• The lack of skilled candidates (35%) and old processes and ineffective technologies hindering recruitment (33%) were the top two concerns, followed by creating a human connection with candidates (30.6%).

• 92% of respondents said they would “value combining talent/employee technology with creative services to bring to life [their] job advertising, branding efforts, and candidate outreach.”

• Difficulty communicating with candidates (40%) and candidates “ghosting” or losing interest in the process (38%) were the top two challenges, and the leading internal challenges were sudden shifts in hiring priorities (40%) and communication among hiring colleagues (40%).

A new survey reveals that nearly a third of workers report decreased engagement— the commitment and connection that they feel to their work.

Could the shift to remote work spurred by the pandemic be at fault? The Conference Board survey says no. Work location—whether on-site, remote, or a hybrid blend of the two—has no impact on self-reported engagement levels. But some people do feel decreased engagement more than others: Women, Millennials, and individual contributors report lower engagement than men, older generations, and executives. But even with lower levels of self-reported engagement, 82 percent say their level of effort is the same or higher.

The survey also finds that more workers want to quit, but few have plans to actually do so. Workers’ intent to stay at their jobs decreased for 37 percent in the last six months, but only 12 percent are actively planning to leave. Indeed, the imminent recession has 29 percent of workers thinking twice about quitting.

Additionally, having a caring, empathetic leader increased in importance to hybrid workers (56 percent) and remote workers (50 percent) more than those in the physical workplace (44 percent), perhaps a reminder to leaders to be more intentional and inclusive for those who are remote at least some of the time.

The latest workforce survey from The Conference Board polled more than 1,600 individuals—predominantly office workers—from September 1-8. Respondents weighed in on workplace culture, work location, compensation, and benefits.

Key findings include:

Many employees are less committed, but they’re working hard anyway.

How do you feel now about your engagement and level of effort compared to how you felt 6 months ago?

• 30 percent say their level of engagement at work—the commitment and connection that employees feel to their work—is lower than six months ago.

• Lower engagement isn’t necessarily affecting effort: Only 18 percent say their level of effort has decreased in the last six months. 50 percent say it’s the same; 31 percent say it’s increased.

• More women, Millennials, and individual contributors report lower engagement and effort than their counterparts.

Engagement levels decreased for all workers regardless of work location/ schedule.

How do you feel now about your engagement compared to how you felt 6 months ago?

• Engagement decreased for 30 percent of fully remote workers, 31 percent of workers with a hybrid work location, and 30 percent for fully in-office workers.

How do you feel now about your intent to stay compared to how you felt 6 months ago?

• 37 percent say their intent to stay has decreased in the last six months.

• More women and individual contributors say their intent to stay has decreased than their counterparts.

• Decreases in intent to stay were similar among generations.

…but few have firm plans to leave any time soon.

Have you voluntarily left your organization for another job since the pandemic began?

• Only 12 percent are actively planning to leave in the next six months.

A looming recession has some workers thinking twice before quitting.

Given the economic slowdown, are you more or less likely to leave your current organization in the next six months?

• 29 percent say the economic slowdown makes them less likely to leave their job.

“While these results show that a likely recession may slow some of the high turnover we’ve been seeing, engagement is eroding for many of those who remain,” said Rebecca Ray, PhD, Executive Vice President of Human Capital at The Conference Board. “For businesses to truly thrive, they should focus on improving employee engagement, no matter the employee’s work location or schedule. Especially during challenging times, previous research from The Conference Board has shown that it is important for leaders to reconnect all workers to the mission and purpose of the organization, as well as to lead with compassion. For workers who are remote or hybrid, this may mean being more intentional about making time for connection.”

Time spent on workplace conflict has doubled since 2008

Following up on its often-referenced 2008 workplace conflict report, The MyersBriggs Company has launched updated research titled Conflict at Work.

“Currently, managers spend over 4 hours a week dealing with conflict on average,” says John Hackston, Head of Thought Leadership at The Myers-Briggs Company and who carried out the study.

“This research sheds light on how people in the workplace see conflict and shows how individuals can use knowledge of their own conflict-handling style and personality type to navigate conflict more effectively.”

The Conflict at Work research includes insights such as:

• Poor communication is the number one cause of conflict.

• Nearly 1 in 4 people think their managers handle conflict poorly or very poorly.

• The more time that an individual spent dealing with conflict at work, the lower their job satisfaction and the less included they felt.

And compared to the company’s 2008 study, workplace conflict is becoming more common. Over a third (36%) of people now reported dealing with conflict often, very often, or all the time, compared to 29% previously.

The research also looks at differences in conflict among in-office, remote, and hybrid workers. In-office employees mentioned poor communication as causing conflict more often (56% of the time) compared to hybrid employees (47%) and remote employees (36%). However, those working hybrid schedules cite lack of transparency as the main cause of conflict (32%) compared to remote employees (17%) and in-office employees (18%).

New research from Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of integrated human capital management software solutions for human resources, payroll, benefits, and insurance services, indicates that employers can build and retain top talent by offering educational and skill-building opportunities for employees.

The survey of over 600 employees nationwide, conducted in partnership with Future Workplace, an Executive Networks member company, highlights workers’ desires to sharpen their skills and advance their careers with the support of their employers. In fact, 63% of respondents said they would be more likely to stay at their organization if they were provided with better learning opportunities.

The report further revealed that employers are providing the right learning and development opportunities for fulltime, in-office employees, but have gaps to fill when it comes to remote, hybrid, and part-time workers.

“The American work experience is more varied than ever before — even between workers in the same roles,” said Alison Stevens, director of HR Services at Paychex. “We’re seeing skill gaps grow as employees increasingly get to choose working arrangements that fit their lifestyles. With employees yearning for more educational and career-building experiences, employers will need to pay attention to the differences

ENNICO: Fame is fleeting, so write a Christmas song

I try to avoid writing seasonal or holidaythemed columns, but I couldn’t resist the temptation this year.

I was shopping at a local mall (yes, they still have those) for several hours the other day. The background music was piped in from a local radio station that mixes Top 40 hits with holiday classics.

No, this is not going to be about “how Christmas songs can make you a better businessperson.” That’s too much of a stretch, even for me.

But Christmas classics do offer a profound lesson about the fleeting nature of fame.

Back in the 1920s and 1930s, big band singers (called “crooners”) were the rock stars of their day. Everybody knew who they were; everybody bought their records; everybody danced to their tunes; everybody showed up screaming whenever they appeared live.

The three biggest crooners of that era were Bing Crosby, Ruggiero (Russ) Columbo and Rudy Vallee.

Now, you can be forgiven for not recognizing the last two -- their names have disappeared forever into obscurity (undeservedly -- Vallee’s “Deep Night” is one of the sexiest songs ever written, and nobody ever sang a better college football fight song).

But you all know who Bing Crosby was -thanks to only one of the hundreds of songs he recorded.

A song called “White Christmas.”

One of the biggest stars of the “folk music revival” of the 1950s and early 1960s -- right up there with Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger -- was Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives (https://

But you know Burl Ives for only one song: a ditty called “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas,” with its now cringeworthy lyric: “Ho, ho, the mistletoe/Hung where you can see/Somebody waits for you/Kiss her once for me ...”

(Come to think of it, I haven’t heard this song much this holiday season -- could it have fallen victim to the P.C. censor?)

Good thing Ives also voiced the role of “Sam the Snowman” in the 1964 Christmas stop-motion television special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” (https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_ Reindeer_(TV_special)), which airs on CBS every holiday season. Otherwise, he’d end up in the dustbin with Columbo and Vallee.

Andy Williams (https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Andy_Williams) was an extremely popular singer and television personality during the 1960s and 1970s. (My mom never missed an episode of his show.) Yet the only Andy Williams song you ever hear on the radio is “Happy Holiday/It’s the Holiday Season.” (“Whoop-de-doo and dickory dock/ and don’t forget to hang up your sock.”)

Brenda Lee (https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Brenda_Lee) was a top charting female vocalist of the 1960s with 47 chart hits during that decade, surpassed only by Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Ray Charles.

Yet you remember her, if at all, for only

one song: “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.”

Nobody remembers Bobby Helms (https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Helms), a country-and-western singer from the 1950s -- except for a song called “Jingle Bell Rock.”

It’s a bit premature to consign “Saturday Night Live” comedian Adam Sandler to the dustbin of history, although most of my readers would have a tough time naming three of his movies. (OK, I’ll give you “Happy Gilmore” as a freebie).

But as long as people have a sense of irony -- and until someone else writes a better song celebrating the Jewish holiday -Sandler’s “Hanukkah Song” will guarantee him a place among the immortals.

Jean Shepherd was a radio storyteller and humorist whose fans once numbered in the millions (https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Jean_Shepherd). So was Paul Harvey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Harvey). Which one do you remember? Jean Shepherd, because the movie “A Christmas Story” (1983) is based on his childhood recollections of growing up in Indiana in the 1940s, and because he narrated the film.

Speaking of “A Christmas Story,” can you name a single actor in the movie without looking it up online? If so, can you name one other film or TV show in which that actor appeared? (I can -- Darren McGavin, who played Ralphie’s father, was the title character in the 1960s horror television series “Kolchak: The Night Stalker.” That’s about it.)

So, what’s the profound lesson? Simply

this: When all of these actors, comedians and musicians recorded or filmed their throwaway Christmas “hit,” none of them likely suspected that it would be the only thing anyone would remember them for 50 years later. How many great performers of the past are remembered today only for that one Christmas song standing between them and total oblivion?

You can’t predict what people will remember you for. In a lifetime of working with thousands of entrepreneurs, writing 16 books and countless articles, and hosting a successful PBS television series, the only thing people will probably remember years from now is my “How to Sell” video on YouTube (www.youtube.com/ watch?v=mNe7hUAkx4M).

What I really have to do is write a Christmas song. Or even better -- a song about Christmukkah. Nobody’s done that yet.

A very Happy Holiday Season to all my readers.

Employees are more likely to stay with employers who offer robust educational and career-building

Most employees (64%) strongly agree/ agree that they are satisfied with their organization’s opportunities for career advancement, though those who work fully remote are more likely to disagree (14%) than those who are fully on-site (8%) or hybrid (7%). Those who work full-time (69%) are more likely to be satisfied than those who work part-time (58%).

Still, most employees (63%) say they would be more likely to stay at their organization if they were provided with better career advancement opportunities. Millennials are most likely to hold this view, with 74% saying they’d be more likely to stay at their organization with more opportunities to learn and grow, compared to 63% of Gen X, 62% of Gen Z, and 45% of Baby Boomers. Those who are more likely

to agree with the above sentiment also vary somewhat by industry:

• Construction (76%)

• Education and health services (60%)

• Retail, trade, transportation, and utilities (59%)

• Leisure and hospitality (42%)

NOVAK: Working wives who never learn

Q: I am in a group of workers who is always left out -- wives who work for their husbands for free until we are divorced and left with nothing. I have friends who have made the same mistake as I did, and someone needs to warn them not to do what so many wives do out of love. We devalue ourselves, our experience and our education by working for free because we want our husbands to succeed in whatever businesses they create. We dedicate our time, intelligence and know-how to become the best workers our husbands could want. Imagine being able to hire a person you trust and know is intelligent and efficient enough to do whatever work is needed without complaining or saying, “It is not my job.” Wives do this to ensure their husbands reach their business goals and feel successful.

We would never think to submit timesheets so we could be paid for our time and dedication, not to mention whether it equals a full-time job or a part-time job. We give up the pursuit of a career that fulfills our interests and passions and would likely reward us much more fully than working nonstop

Bank repossessions increase nationwide

Lenders repossessed 10,515 U.S. properties through foreclosure (REO) in Q3 2022, up 18 percent from the previous quarter and up 39 percent from a year ago.

“Very few of the properties entering the foreclosure process have reverted to the lender at the end of the foreclosure,” Sharga noted. “In fact, nearly three times more homes were repossessed by lenders

for someone else’s glory.

My husband always reminded me, as my friends’ husbands said to them, that he was doing it for “us.” The truth is he did it for himself. He could have sought a job working for an established company where he would have made a regular salary. He could have put in the time and worked his way up to any amount of money, based on his education, background, experience and ability.

Starting a business from scratch takes an immense number of hours and hard work. My husband hoped it would bring greater status, immediate rewards and the freedom to do everything his way. That is why starting a business was for him. If I, or any of my friends who gave the same commitment to their husbands as I did, had charged my husband a realistic salary, he and the other men who want to be self-made entrepreneurs could not have afforded to do what they wanted. Starting a business is a gamble, so the excuse that they are doing it for their families is simply that -- an excuse to accomplish their own personal business goals.

States that posted the largest number of completed foreclosures in Q3 2022, included Illinois (1,331 REOs); Michigan (729 REOs); New York (695 REOs); Pennsylvania (643 REOs); and Ohio (557 REOs).

Average time to foreclose decreases 4 percent from last year

Properties foreclosed in Q3 2022 had been in the foreclosure process an average of 885 days, down from 948 days in the previous quarter and down 4 percent from 924 days in Q3 2021.

So, imagine how it feels to have given up developing a real career to eventually be told he wants a divorce and that it is his business because he did the work to build it. It’s a monumental betrayal, and fighting the division of income from the business requires an astute attorney, one whose fees are usually out of reach for an unpaid worker.

If you surveyed the number of women who have lived through this same experience, you might be stunned at how many wives submit to this arrangement. Of course, we never think we will be thrown out without consideration of the time and devotion we put into the business. And most of us have also raised children while working. Please tell women not to give up their potential for developing a career or any business that they wished they had pursued. There must be documents to protect us before we enter into such endeavors. When in love, no one thinks they will be treated this way, but time has a way of changing things.

this one. Many couples reject prenuptial agreements because they think it begins a marriage with mistrust. The workplace often offers employment contracts to various levels and professionals, and it doesn’t mean people mistrust the company or the person. It clarifies a situation, which can resolve a problem before it happens. A corporate lawyer or a labor and employment lawyer can provide work-related contracts before agreeing to sacrifice one’s own career potential for a husband’s business pursuits.

No one can deny that life presents twists and turns along the way and that changes occur on every level. Maintaining the status quo is rare. People have a choice as to how they approach any relationship -- business and personal. Because life offers no guarantees for any situation, people rely on well-written contracts. Everyone deserves protection, even if a person ends up never needing it.

Asian shares mixed after tech-led decline on Wall Street

BY ELAINE KURTENBACH AP BUSINESS WRITER

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were mixed in Asia on Wednesday after a postholiday retreat on Wall Street, as markets count down to the end of a painful year for investors.

Shares fell in Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul but rose in Hong Kong as the Chinese government took further steps to reopen to foreign travel after relaxing its stringent “zero-COVID” policies.

Oil prices rose and U.S. futures inched higher.

The Chinese government announced it will start issuing new passports in another major step away from anti-virus travel barriers. That sets up a potential flood of tourists out of China for next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, taking free-spending Chinese visitors to Asia, Europe and other destinations during what usually is the country’s busiest travel season.

But governments in India and Japan have said they will impose extra precautions on those arriving from China due to

widespread virus outbreaks there. U.S. officials also expressed concern and said they were considering taking similar steps.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng jumped 2% to 20,011.99. The Shanghai Composite index gave up early gains, losing 0.2% to 3,000.23.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 lost 0.6% to 26,301.69 after the government reported that Japan’s industrial production fell for a third straight month in November and said it was likely to fall further in December. The Kospi in Seoul declined 2.2% to 2,282.26.

In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.3% to 7,086.50.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 fell 0.4% to 3,829.25 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a 0.1% gain, closing at 33,241.56. The Nasdaq dropped 1.4% to 10,353.23.

The Russell 2000 index dropped 0.7% to 1,749.52.

Technology and communication services companies accounted for a big share of the decliners in the S&P 500. Apple fell 1.4% and Netflix lost 3.7%.

Airlines stocks fell broadly. A massive winter storm caused widespread delays and

the first time in at least 15 months.

York (18.2%), Providence, R.I. (+16.7%), Oklahoma City (+13.8%), Miami (+13.2%), Kansas City, Mo. (+11.2%) and San Jose, Calif. (+10.7%).

Relative to those eight cities, September rent increases were smaller in more than three-quarters of the biggest markets, including many in the Sun Belt area. For example, rents increased by single-digits year-over-year in Dallas (8.8%), San Diego (8.4%), and Orlando, FL (8.3%), each for

Additionally, four markets posted annual rental price declines in September: Riverside, Calif. (-1.0%), Tampa, Fla. (-0.3%), Las Vegas (-0.2%), and Sacramento, Calif. (-0.1%). In each of these metros, September marked their first yearly drop in rents since the onset of the pandemic.

At the same time, compared to three years ago, September rental prices were higher in all 50 of the largest metros, and up by double-digits in 48 markets. Even

forced several carriers to cancel flights over the weekend. Delta Air Lines closed 0.8% lower, American Airlines dropped 1.4% and JetBlue slid 1.1%.

Southwest Airlines slid 6% after the company had to cancel roughly two-thirds of its flights over the last couple of days, which it blamed on problems related to staffing and weather. The federal government said it would investigate why the company lagged so far behind other carriers.

Tesla fell 11.4% for the biggest decline among S&P 500 stocks. The electric vehicle maker temporarily suspended production at a factory in Shanghai, according to published reports.

Treasury yields mostly rose as the U.S. bond market reopened from Christmas holidays. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, rose to 3.85% from 3.75% late Friday.

Trading on Wall Street is expected to be relatively light this holiday-shortened week as investors look ahead to 2023 after a dismal year for stocks.

Uncertainty about how far the Federal Reserve and other central banks would go

with their recent rental moderation, Sun Belt metros still top the list of biggest rent gains over September 2019 levels: Miami (+51.8%), Tampa (+40.9%) and Memphis, Tenn. (+37.5%).

“Realtor.com®’s September data highlights the true extent of the rental market boom that has taken place over the past three years, and underscores the prevalence of rental affordability challenges faced by many Americans today. Recent surveys we’ve conducted at Avail also show that higher housing costs

to fight the highest inflation in decades has kept investors on edge. The Fed raised its key interest rate seven times this year and has signaled more hikes to come in 2023, even though the pace of price increases has been easing.

The high rates, which weigh heavily on prices for stocks and other investments, have fueled concerns that the economy could slow too much and slip into a recession next year.

The benchmark S&P 500 index set an alltime high at the beginning of January, but is now down nearly 20% for the year. The techheavy Nasdaq is down nearly 34%.

In other trading Wednesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil added 5 cents to $79.58 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It lost 3 cents on Tuesday to $79.53 per barrel.

Brent crude, the pricing basis for international trading, gained 14 cents to $84.82 per barrel.

The U.S. dollar rose to 134.09 Japanese yen from 133.43 yen. The euro was trading at $1.0643, up from $1.0640.
