High-Income Job Losses Cool Housing Demand in Key U.S. Markets

Update: 2026-01-02

Description

High-income job losses are beginning to cool housing demand across the U.S. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down new labor market analysis from John Burns Research and Consulting, showing declines in tech, professional services, and finance jobs — the sectors that typically drive homebuying demand. We look at what's happening in key markets like Charlotte, Austin, Denver, and the Bay Area, and why the type of jobs being added matters as much as overall job growth for housing demand heading into 2026.
