My husband left his job to help me in the business this past year and went to work at a dealership as a salesman when my dads health started declining. 

There's micro neighborhoods that do very well, even in a macro declining population.

Data suggests that both of these places have been on a decline for years.

Reaching out to the community to make sure I'm not off base here to immediately think to decline this offer.  

Recently over 165 lawsuits were filed in Chicago against small landlords who declined Section 8 tenants.

Attorney spokesperson declined to say whether the office was conducting an investigation into RAD, citing Justice Department policy not to comment on any investigations that the office may, or may not, be pursuing.

Without replacement jobs, city incomes decline, forcing cities to cut back on services like schools and police.

However, inventory levels have decreased, with 1,191 homes for sale in December 2024, a 4.3% decline from the previous month, suggesting a tightening market.

What I've had clients do in the past is make an offer without a financing contingency where they tell the seller that they are getting a mortgage to close the deal, but also provide proof of assets to show that they can/will close by liquidating the assets if the loan gets declined.

The tables have turned and it's a buyers market now with values flat or declining, much longer days on market, price drops, listings expiring, very rare to see full price offers on new listings, etc.
