America's most-talked about generation—millennials—are expected to impact the housing market heavily in 2016. As home prices in popular metros rise and affordability problems persist, this generation is expected to weigh other options in the near future.

Move, Inc., operator of Realtor.com recently appointed Suhail Ansari as Chief Technology Officer, where he will be responsible for overseeing the company's technology strategy. At Move, which is a subsidiary of News Corp., Ansari will focus on accelerating innovation to empower people by making all things home simple, efficient, and enjoyable.

As we prepare to enter into 2016, one can only wonder what the next year will bring in terms of housing. One thing is for sure though, the picture will look completely different as hot markets begin to cool down.

It seems some Americans see the holiday of thanks as a good chance to get a leg up– no turkey pun intended–on the home market competition.

With the fall season well underway, the housing market is showing signs of slowing down with declines in demand and inventory.

As the season changes, prices soften, and homes remain on the market longer, the real estate market transitioned a seller's market to a buyer's market in September.

Although millennials have been labeled “the generation of renters,” research shows that this group is more interested in purchasing a home than other generations, but the problem is, they lack financial stability.

Existing home sales had a less than promising performance in August, but Auction.com's Real Estate Nowcast projects that they will pick back up in September. Realtor.com also predicts that lower prices and less competition will shift the housing market from seller's favor to buyer's.

The recent stock market fluctuations and seasonal trend changes may have homebuyers perplexed, but there is a silver lining, according to Realtor.com's First Look report for August 2015.

Realtor.com economic research released Monday found that sellers' overall advantage in the market is being reduced and buyers are beginning to reap the benefits of growing home inventory.
