Boomers and millennials fight for homes as housing market cools

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:41:05 GMT

(The Hill) - Prices have cooled in the once red-hot housing market, but competition is heating up between two generations in seemingly perpetual conflict. Millennials entering their prime homebuying years and baby boomers — many of whom are nearing retirement age — are vying for the same homes. A look ahead: Fed hikes and default fears: Here’s what could be next for the housing marketNot all baby boomers are looking for smaller properties to spend their retirement years, and some millennials are encroaching on space in the suburbs, where their older peers would typically downsize.  But most boomers have a key advantage: substantial equity from previous home purchases and higher incomes, which help them avoid the growing costs of a long-term mortgage.“Boomers are not downsizing and Millennials — first-time buyers in particular — are buying later in life. This puts both generations of buyers in head-to-head competition for similarly sized properties,” Jessica...

Consumer group asking law enforcement to step up response after signs AI may contribute to fraud

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:41:05 GMT

(KXAN) -- Fraud may have hit a crisis level, according to the AARP.“It's not just us. Most Americans in a survey we just produced say the same thing. And we're seeing it in the data,” said Kathy Stokes, director of fraud prevention programs at AARP.“Just what was reported last year to the Federal Trade Commission was $9 billion in losses and we know that's just the tip of the iceberg," Stokes said. Experts worry artificial intelligence, or AI, may make things worse. Last month, the Federal Trade Commission warned AI can be used to produce high quality deep fakes and "turbocharge" fraud and scams, NBC reported. “Very concerned because right now, the scams are so sophisticated that they're almost unrecognizable as scams. When you enter chat GPT and AI it's just that much more unrecognizable,” said Stokes. “But the stories are always the same. It's going to be somebody that's reaching out to you out of the blue, trying to get you into that heightened emotional state. Let that be the si...

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:41:05 GMT

ST. LOUIS - The Cardinals-Dodgers series opener looked more like a Home Run Derby than your typical baseball game Thursday night. The sizzling St. Louis Cardinals routed the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 16-8 victory, earning their ninth victory in 11 games. The offense has stepped up amid the surge, averaging around eight runs a game. The Cardinals slugged seven home runs in Thursday's victory, setting two new records at Busch Stadium III. The main record: The seven home runs are the most hit by any Cardinals team at one game since their current ballpark opened in 1946.

Heavy smoke from Canadian fires is turning the air brown in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:41:05 GMT

Colorado health officials on Friday advised the elderly, children and residents with respiratory ailments in metro Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Greeley to limit outdoor activity as smoke spreads into the state from fires burning in Canada, contaminating the air people breathe.Those fires raging in western Canada, the result of dry vegetation and unusually high temperatures, have driven thousands of Canadians from their homes and forced shutdowns of oil and gas wells and pipelines — churning up smoke into the atmosphere. More than 90 fires were sweeping across Alberta and other parts of western Canada with authorities estimating more than 1,800 square miles burned — ten times the norm for this time of year.Related ArticlesColorado News | Denver weather: Foggy, cool, low gray clouds and drizzle leading to warmer weekend with sunshine Colorado News | New law aims to spur trust between Colorado police and kids Colorado News | C...
