ASID News Today — October 29, 2026

The housing market is bracing for significant changes in the coming years, driven by shifting demographics and economic trends. As the US approaches the 2030s, builders are preparing for a demographic cliff that will impact demand for housing. According to experts, single-family new-home permits could decline by as much as 24% to 86% by 2035, requiring builders to adapt and develop new strategies to stay competitive. This shift will likely have a ripple effect throughout the industry, influencing everything from mortgage lending to the overall structure of the housing market.

In today's news, we explore the implications of these changes and what they mean for the real estate and property sectors. We examine the strategies builders will need to succeed in a changing market, as well as the risks and opportunities emerging in mortgage lending. Despite the challenges ahead, the housing market received a boost yesterday with a positive Fed day, which could help shape the industry's trajectory in the months to come. Meanwhile, non-housing news includes a significant development in a sex trafficking case, which is also making headlines today.
