As real estate evolves, professionals who understand data and AI will have a major advantage, and schools like Cameron Academy are helping prepare them for this shift.

January Home Sales Plunge 8.4%, Sparking Fears of a “New Housing Crisis”

The U.S. housing market stumbled into 2026 as January home sales tumbled 8.4% from December, hitting their lowest pace in over a year. With inventory still tight, prices rising, and market activity stagnating, NAR’s chief economist warns that Americans—especially renters—are “stuck” in a new kind of housing crisis.
