RealScout Launches AI Search – For Pros
RealScout has unveiled a new AI‑powered search engine crafted specifically for real estate agents who demand deeper, more precise control than typical consumer tools can offer.

RealScout emphasizes this is more than another AI wrapper — it’s a tool built around MLS structure and real agent workflows, allowing AI to handle the heavy lifting in the background.
Early access has opened for webinar participants, with a full rollout anticipated by late January.

A growing share of American homeowners now carry mortgage rates above 5%—a dramatic shift that’s reshaping refinancing, inventory, and buyer behavior nationwide. With more than 30% of borrowers locked into rates over 5% and 20% above 6%, the market is split between owners holding on to low pandemic‑era loans and new buyers taking on higher‑rate mortgages. Federal efforts to push rates down could unlock millions of refinancing opportunities, while buyers see only modest monthly savings. For real estate professionals, understanding these rate dynamics is crucial as they increasingly drive inventory levels, affordability, and market activity.
New Moody’s data shows commercial real estate deal volume slipped 20% in December, marking a second monthly decline. Yet the full year tells a different story: 2025 ended with a 17% gain, signaling a quiet but resilient recovery. The biggest surprise came from the office sector, which posted a 21% jump in activity as return‑to‑office trends and AI‑driven job growth boosted demand. Multifamily, retail, and alternative assets like data centers also saw strong momentum, giving real estate professionals a market full of fresh opportunities heading into 2026.
Florida drivers and industry professionals are heading into 2026 with good news: auto insurance rates are dropping across the state as the market shows strong signs of stabilization. USAA leads the latest wave with a 7% average rate decrease expected in May 2026, saving members more than $125 million annually. They join several major insurers — including State Farm, Progressive, AAA, Allstate, and Florida Farm Bureau — all approving significant reductions. Officials credit recent legislative reforms, especially tort reform, for the improved loss ratios and renewed insurer confidence. With both auto and home insurance markets strengthening, Florida’s real estate, mortgage, and insurance professionals can expect more consumer confidence, smoother transactions, and expanding career opportunities.
New data from Eye On Housing and the NAHB shows the U.S. remains short more than 1.2 million housing units, keeping pressure on both rents and home prices. Record‑low vacancy rates, slow single‑family construction, and restrictive zoning continue to fuel intense competition in 2024. Major metros like Chicago, New York, and Atlanta face some of the deepest deficits, and the true nationwide shortfall may be even higher when accounting for overcrowding and aging homes. For real estate professionals, the ongoing shortage means sustained demand, tighter inventory, and major opportunities for those who understand the evolving market.
Top real estate coach Jason Pantana says the divide between agents today isn’t about who has “tried” AI — it’s about who is immersed in it. In a new HousingWire interview, he explains why AI isn’t a gimmick but a full business system that amplifies output, improves authenticity, and reshapes how clients search for agents. From prompt mastery to AI‑driven visibility on Google, Pantana reveals how agents who commit even 15 minutes a day to learning AI are already outperforming those who hesitate.
Dallas–Fort Worth’s commercial real estate market closed 2025 with a split personality. Industrial dominated with massive new deliveries and soaring leasing demand, retail held steady with some of the market’s strongest fundamentals in years, and office continued to falter under remote‑work pressures. High vacancies, weak absorption, and rising demand for top‑tier space show the sector’s ongoing reset. Meanwhile, industrial and retail strength position the Metroplex for another powerhouse year heading into 2026.
