With the election of 2024 an uprising of conversations about the housing crisis happened. It has actually appeared that housing concerns have greatly influenced the election itself. It was shown that the counties where it had been most difficult to buy a house saw the largest shifts toward Donald Trump. Trump promised policies to change the housing market. An alternate article highlights these policies and whether they were doubted or supported. 

Although Zillow is a real estate website that people are able to browse homes on. Realtor.com is the website that this blog covers. It highlights a section within the website where journalists write about the housing market but many users do not know about this feature. 

Many people have made a hobby out of scrolling on these websites with no real stakes at hand. People look through homes that they will never buy or even be able to buy. It is considered “doom scrolling”. Any good real estate agent knows that they will have to market to younger customers. This is not because they will buy a home, this is because they might post their home on TikTok and have it go viral.
