Housing Market Update: Low Mortgage Rates Buoy Prices as Competition Eases

Real Estate, ,
by Tim Ellis | RedFin.Com Troy Warren for CNT Home prices are still up 20% from a year ago even as fewer homes sell and the ones that do are sitting on the market longer and selling for less of a premium above list price. Like a slow turning ship, the housing market’s supply side is gradually gaining momentum as homes for sale begin to pile and pending sales continue a steady and seasonal decline. As both of these trends continue in the weeks ahead, prices will stop rising as rapidly as they have been and an increasing number of homes…

Box Office: ‘Old’ Slithers Past ‘Snake Eyes’ to Win Slow Weekend

Entertainment, , , , ,
BY PAMELA MCCLINTOCK | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT Both new films are beating 'Space Jam: A New Legacy,' which is falling off steeply in its second outing amid the challenged box office recovery.

After a year and a half of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant industry is still trying to get back to normal. And simply opening back up for business isn't cutting it: Many restaurants say they are struggling to find enough workers to fill demand from customers.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Let Athletes Lead the Way on Mental Health

Celebrity, Health, Sports, , ,
BY KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT Instead of demanding perfection from sports stars who get candid about their health, viewers should admire their perseverance — and take cues from their coping skills. When four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka dropped out of the French Open and Wimbledon because of anxiety and depression associated with compulsory press interviews, many fans were shocked at her bold confession. While most professional athletes rallied to support her “bravery,” some critics dismissed the player, who will represent Japan at the Tokyo Olympics, as a “diva” and “narcissistic.” The same thing happened in 2018 when…

Troy Warren for CNT   NATIONAL TEQUILA DAY On July 24th, commemorate National Tequila Day with a little lime and salt. Mix up a Margarita, Paloma, or a Mamasita to celebrate the day! People have been making Tequila for centuries, and it was once known as mezcal wine. In fact, Tequila is mezcal, but mezcal isn’t Tequila.
