AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoBuyer Access: Zillow Home Loans is offering eligible FHA buyers in 43 states and Washington, D.C., a zero-interest loan covering the full 3.5% minimum down payment. It requires no monthly payments and is forgiven after five years of on-time mortgage payments. Development Risk: Receivers are selling Auckland’s 9.6-hectare Shundi site, where a planned billion-dollar-plus project included 1,500 homes and commercial space but never got underway. The sale leaves the site’s future uncertain. Urban Renewal: Harbin residents funded the rebuild of an unsafe 1930s apartment building, which was completed in two months. The project offers a resident-led path to improving aging city housing. Housing Finance: Ireland plans to curb state purchases of turnkey social housing after 2027, putting more pressure on private builders. But a shortage of affordable development finance and credit for middle-income buyers may limit how much the market can deliver.
