Zillow is warning about another housing market slowdown in the second half of 2026. The company is laying off 7% of its workforce, more than 500 employees, as traffic to Zillow’s apps and websites declines and its stock falls 61% over the last year.

At the same time, United Wholesale Mortgage, the largest mortgage originator in America, reported a $452 million net loss, suspended its dividend, and saw its stock suffer a record collapse. These warnings come shortly after major home builders like Lennar and D.R. Horton also reported weakness in the U.S. housing market.

The bigger issue is housing demand. Mortgage purchase applications remain roughly 60% below their peak, while pending home sales from the National Association of Realtors remain deeply depressed. And now we’re seeing sellers take enormous losses. In Nashville, one Airbnb investor who purchased a property for nearly $1 million in 2022 is now trying to sell for $599,000, a roughly 40% decline.

But this housing downturn is extremely uneven. Inventory is surging in markets like Nashville, Seattle, Dallas, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and other parts of the West and Sunbelt. Meanwhile, inventory remains historically low in markets like New York and Chicago, where home values are still increasing.

San Francisco is another unusual case. Home values in San Francisco County are up roughly 9% over the last year as the AI boom drives renewed interest in the city, even though employment in the broader San Francisco metro remains below pre-pandemic levels. That creates an increasingly bifurcated U.S. housing market where some cities are crashing while others are still experiencing shortages and price growth.

The national housing market numbers only tell part of the story. Your local city, county, and ZIP code can be moving in a completely different direction.
