Report details changes in Johnson City housing
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – Thursday morning, the City of Johnson City released its 2025 Housing Needs Assessment. The report analyzes certain trends and conditions to predict changes in housing needs in the next few years.
The last housing assessment took place in 2023.
Lexi Vance, Johnson City's economic development specialist, said there were many factors leading up to the decision to have an assessment.
'Around 2020, we saw a little bit of a spike in population and then we started seeing all these accolades roll in for Johnson City about us being a great place to live and then we also start seeing national headlines about a national housing affordability crisis,' Vance said.
Vance said the report led to the city wondering where people were going to live.
The 2023 housing assessment showed a housing gap of under 5,000 units. Back in January, the city decided to do another assessment to see if that number had changed. They found the gap had increased by almost 600 units.
'If you have children, if you have students you really like, if you have employees you really, like that may be younger, you want to keep them, and if there's nowhere for them to live, we risk losing them to other communities,' Vance said.
Vance said the report also analyzes housing prices. She compared the findings in the 2023 and 2025 reports.
'For a single-family home, that actually fell by about $40,000, which we thought that was great news,' she said.
Along with housing prices, Vance said there were changes in rent.
'We saw annual rent increases of 12% to 17.5% in that year. Our income went up quite a bit and we also saw more people become house owners or homeowners.'
Vance said the new report will help the city make plans for the future.
'What it means is that we're trying to be smart about how we grow and prepare for a larger and healthy city.'

Life360 Announces Pricing of Upsized Convertible Senior Notes Offering
SAN FRANCISCO, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life360, Inc. ('Life360' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: LIF, ASX: 360), today announced the pricing of its offering of $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the 'notes') in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'). The offering size was increased from the previously announced offering size of $250 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The issuance and sale of the notes are scheduled to settle on June 5, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Life360 also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Life360. The notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. The notes will mature on June 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before March 1, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after March 1, 2030, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Life360 will settle conversions in cash or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at Life360's election. The initial conversion rate is 12.3501 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $80.97 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the last reported sale price of $61.11 per share of Life360's common stock on June 2, 2025. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Life360's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Life360's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a 'fundamental change' (as defined in the indenture for the notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require Life360 to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. Life360 estimates that the net proceeds to it from the offering will be approximately $265.2 million (or approximately $308.9 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and Life360's estimated offering expenses. Life360 intends to use approximately $29.0 million (or approximately $33.7 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes) of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. Life360 intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then Life360 intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below. In connection with the pricing of the notes, Life360 entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the 'option counterparties'). The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of Life360's common stock that initially underlie the notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then Life360 expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $122.22 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of Life360's common stock of $61.11 per share on June 2, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. The capped call transactions are expected to generally reduce the potential dilution to Life360's common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments Life360 is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of Life360's common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Life360's common stock and/or purchase shares of Life360's common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Life360's common stock or the market value of the notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Life360's common stock and/or purchasing or selling Life360's common stock or other securities of Life360 in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and (x) are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following any repurchase of the notes by Life360 in connection with any redemption or fundamental change and (y) are likely to do so following any repurchase of the notes by Life360 other than in connection with any redemption or fundamental change if Life360 elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of Life360's common stock or the notes, which could affect noteholders' ability to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes. The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
