&#8220;No one in the housing market wants to admit this, but the South is beginning to show a lot of similarities with the mid-2000s housing bubble,&#8221; Nick Gerli, CEO of Reventure Consulting, said in a recent post on X, formerly Twitter. He pointed to overvalued prices, slowing demand and spikes in both resale and new home inventory as warning signs.
The situation appears particularly acute among builders, who currently hold over 300,000 homes for sale in the South – nearly double the long-term average of 157,000 maintained since 1973. The record inventory suggests continued pressure through 2025.

Despite the challenges, national home prices are expected to rise 4% in 2025, returning to pre-pandemic growth rates, according to Redfin projections reported by CNBC. However, borrowing costs remain a wild card, with mortgage rates forecast to average 6.8% amid potential volatility.
&#8220;If the housing market were going to crash, it would have already crashed by now,&#8221; Daryl Fairweather, Redfin&#8217;s chief economist, told CNBC. &#8220;The housing market has been so resilient to interest rates going up as high as they have.&#8221;
Rising insurance costs and climate risks may further complicate the market, particularly in Florida and Texas coastal regions. Insurance policies in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/02/36984707/floridas-insurance-crisis-spreads-to-california">high-risk areas increasingly carry premium price tags, affecting overall affordability</a>.

He noted that proposed tariffs on building materials and stricter immigration policies could drive construction costs higher, potentially constraining new supply despite current inventory levels.
Markets like Virginia and Maryland are bucking the Southern trend, maintaining inventory levels 40% below pre-pandemic figures. However, Gerli noted that states like Texas, Florida and Tennessee could face pressure in 2025, with inventory continuing to build and possible price declines in certain cities.

Ahead of rising tensions between Beijing and Washington, a Chinese cybersecurity center has accused the United States of engaging in cyberattacks to steal business secrets.
What Happened: The National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Centre of China, a non-governmental organization focused on cybersecurity threats, claims to have detected and mitigated these cyberattacks, South China Morning Post<a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3291521/chinese-cybersecurity-centre-accuses-us-hacking-and-stealing-tech-secrets?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage"> reported</a> on Thursday.
Since August, an advanced material design research unit in China has reportedly been targeted by suspected American intelligence agencies. The attackers allegedly exploited a vulnerability in an electronic document security system to access the company&#8217;s server, deploying a Trojan horse virus to over 270 hosts, thereby stealing commercial secrets.

Another incident in May 2023 involved a breach in Microsoft Exchange software, affecting a major hi-tech enterprise specializing in smart energy and digital information. The center&#8217;s recent weekly report highlighted coordination with various organizations to manage 146 network security incidents, including 92 cross-border cases. 
Additionally, 2,950 data security breaches were identified. Meanwhile, the US has initiated a national security investigation into Chinese router company TP-Link, amid ongoing accusations and denials between the two nations regarding state-sponsored hacking activities.
Why It Matters: The accusations from China come <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42559347/trump-administration-could-ban-amazons-top-selling-routers-linked-to-chinese-cyberattacks-report">amid heightened scrutiny</a> of Chinese technology firms by the United States. The U.S. government is currently investigating TP-Link for potential national security threats, as the company holds a significant share of the US router market. This follows multiple cyberattacks linked to TP-Link&#8217;s routers.
Furthermore, the FBI has issued warnings about ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42333675/fbi-warns-of-ongoing-china-backed-telecom-hacks-heres-how-encrypted-messaging-could-be-your-last-line-of-defense">China-backed telecom hacks</a>, advising Americans to use encrypted messaging apps to protect their communications. Jeff Greene, CISA's executive assistant director for cybersecurity, emphasized the importance of encryption in safeguarding data, even if intercepted. These developments underscore the escalating cybersecurity tensions between the two global powers.
