Map Shows US Cities With Biggest House Price Declines Last Month
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A number of major metro areas saw dramatic list price declines in home prices last month as the U.S. housing market continues to deal with a cooling-off period after overheating that took place during a COVID-19 pandemic homebuying frenzy. The former pandemic boomtown of Austin, Texas, reported the biggest annual list price decline in the country last month and one of the highest shares of home listings with price cuts, according to data from Other top markets followed suit in annual declines as markets have become more balanced as inventory grows. Why It Matters Price corrections occur due to a number of factors, including fewer people relocating to areas. Home prices can be influenced by a variety of factors and can have a significant impact on the larger economy as they can affect consumer spending habits and be an indicator of economic growth. Where Prices Are Falling While home prices are still rising at the national level, the pace of this growth has slowed down significantly in recent months as sales have fallen and unsold homes have piled up in the market. In some parts of the country, the slowdown has been more significant. Recent data shows that the South and the West are shifting "decisively" in favor of buyers, writes, as the supply of for-sale homes in these regions increases and these properties spend more time on the market before going under contract—often with significant price cuts. By comparison, regions where the supply shortage is still acute—like the Northeast and the Midwest—are seeing less significant price changes. The metropolitan areas with the biggest year-over-year price decline in July were Austin (-4.9 percent), Miami (-4.7 percent), Chicago (-4.4 percent), Los Angeles (-4.2 percent), and Denver (-4 percent). In all of these cities with the exception of Chicago, the median list price was still above the national average of $439,450 last month. A typical home in Austin was listed for $510,950 in July. In Miami, $509,950. In Los Angeles, $1,148,483. And in Denver, $600,000. In Chicago, home costs are below the U.S. median list price, at an estimated $377,000. These cities also had some of the highest shares of listings with price cuts in the country. In Austin, 31.2 percent of listings had price reductions, and in Denver, 32.9 percent. Nationally, 20.6 percent of listings had price cuts. That means that the share of price cuts in Miami (17.7 percent), Chicago (15.4 percent), and Los Angeles (17.6 percent) was actually below the nationwide average. A map showing the top 10 U.S. metros with the biggest annual price declines in the country in July 2025 and the highest shares of price cuts. A map showing the top 10 U.S. metros with the biggest annual price declines in the country in July 2025 and the highest shares of price cuts. Behind These Numbers Austin saw an explosion in demand during the pandemic, when the rise of remote work allowed many out-of-state movers to relocate to the city. The Texas capital hardly had enough homes for everyone wishing to buy them then, and prices skyrocketed. At the same time, developers launched a construction boom that has since added many new homes to the city's supply. But demand has significantly diminished since the height of the pandemic, partially because of return-to-office orders and partially because of rising housing costs and historically elevated mortgage rates discouraging buyers. Austin found itself with a lot more new homes at a time when fewer people appeared ready to buy them. As a result, the city's housing market has been cooling down dramatically. The same is happening in Denver, another pandemic boomtown which is now seeing inventory piling up in its market. In these two cities, the median list price of a home in July was significantly lower than three years before, when higher mortgage rates put a halt to the pandemic homebuying frenzy. Home prices were 14.8 percent lower last month than in July 2022 in Austin, and 7.7 percent in Denver. The Miami housing market, though resilient, is also experiencing a correction after a period of rapid growth appreciation and tighter inventory. The median sale price of a home was a staggering 17.8 percent lower than three years earlier. But the other two cities in the top five lists of those experiencing the biggest annual price declines last month tell a different story. In Chicago, the median list price of a home was 7.7 percent higher than in July 2022; in Los Angeles, it was 18.4 percent higher.

Map Shows How Each State Could Lose SNAP Benefits Under New Requirements
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Millions of Americans could lose some or all of their SNAP benefits due to newly approved work requirements, a think tank has found. Why It Matters SNAP benefits, also known as "food stamps," are paid to more than 40 million low- and no-income Americans across the U.S. to help with purchasing groceries. Under the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), expanded work requirements to be eligible for the benefits will cover a larger group of Americans than before. Under the new requirements, millions of previously eligible SNAP recipients could become ineligible. What To Know To continue receiving benefits, more individuals will be required to work or volunteer for at least 20 hours a week, or take part in training programs. Many who were previously exempt from these provisions could now be required to prove they meet these conditions or face the possibility of losing their SNAP benefits. According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), a left-leaning think tank, more than 5 million SNAP recipients could be at risk of losing some or all of their benefits under the new OBBBA rules. Beneficiaries in high population states with large numbers of SNAP claimants, like California, New York, Texas and Florida, would likely see the most people impacted. In these states alone, an estimated 1.2 million could be at risk of losing some or all of their benefits. In every U.S. state, between 5 percent and 12 percent of current SNAP recipients are at risk, according to the study. In California, the nation's most populous state, 368,000 individuals—6.84 percent of the state's 5.38 million SNAP recipients—are considered at risk, according to the study. Florida shows a similar trend, with 253,000 at risk out of nearly 3 million beneficiaries. In Texas, 276,000 SNAP participants face potential loss—8.64 percent of the state's total recipients. New York reports 318,000 people at risk—10.87 percent of its 2.93 million beneficiaries—making it one of the highest possible total impacts in the country, according to the report. Illinois follows closely with 205,000 at risk out of 1.9 million, or 10.59 percent. Overall, the group found 26 states have over 8 percent of their SNAP populations at risk of part or all of their benefits. What Are the New SNAP Work Requirements? The new rules have introduced age-based changes to SNAP work requirements. Able-bodied adults between the ages of 55 and 64 who do not have dependent children, as well as parents of children aged 14 and older, must now work or volunteer at least 20 hours per week or participate in training programs to receive their benefits. Previously, these requirements only applied to individuals up to age 54. Veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness and former foster youth could now also be subject to work requirements. Parents with teenage children will also be affected. If their youngest dependent child is 14 or older, these parents will now have to meet the work requirements. However, children will still continue receiving benefits even if their caregivers lose eligibility. It could also become more difficult for states to waive these requirements, as waivers will only eligible in areas with unemployment rates above 10 percent. What People Are Saying The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), a right-wing think-tank based in Naples, Florida, wrote in a May 16 report: "Most able-bodied adults on the program are exempt from work requirements and bureaucratic loopholes have allowed states to skirt them even further—waiving them for as many able-adults as possible. Even worse, the Obama and Biden administrations actively pressured states to continue this trend, leaving millions of able-bodied adults trapped in a cycle of dependency. With millions of open jobs nationwide and labor force participation rates behind pre-pandemic levels, it is more critical than ever to move able-bodied adults from welfare to work." The CBPP in its report: "More than 5 million people will be at risk of losing at least some of their food assistance, including 800,000 children, under a significant expansion of SNAP's already harsh, ineffective, and red tape-laden work requirements to parents and other caregivers of children aged 14 and up and adults aged 55 to 64." What Happens Next The start date for expanded work requirements is not clear and was not included in the OBBBA text.

Iran Gives Update on Conditions for Nuclear Talks With US
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Iran said it won't base its economic strategy on any resumption of nuclear talks with the U.S. and warned it has ways to overcome sanctions if Washington rejects its conditions. "We are currently under sanctions, but we are still carrying out our economic and commercial activities and selling our oil," Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA). Newsweek has contacted the U.S. State Department for comment. Why It Matters While Iran has not demanded sanctions relief as a precondition for talks, it views lifting sanctions as a key objective of negotiations. Nearly seven months into President Donald Trump's second term—which began with public overtures toward Iran and promises of a new Middle East peace framework—diplomatic progress remains stalled after strikes by Israel and the U.S. deepened mistrust, with Tehran signalling it won't submit to Washington's demand for zero uranium enrichment. With a fragile ceasefire in place, there is the potential for renewed military action to erupt at any moment and develop into a broader confrontation. A man holds an Iranian flag at the start of an anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli protest after Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran on July 25, 2025. A man holds an Iranian flag at the start of an anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli protest after Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran on July 25, 2025. Vahid Salemi/AP Photo What To Know Gharibabadi, a member of the Iranian negotiating team that held talks with the U.S. prior to strikes on its nuclear facilities, said Tehran remains able to carry out economic and trade activities—including continuing oil exports—even under sweeping sanctions. "They wanted to reduce our oil sales to zero, but they couldn't. Because there are different capacities. We should not tie all the country's destinies to negotiations," he said in an interview with the Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA). The U.S. issued a new round of sanctions targeting over a hundred individuals, entities and vessels linked to Iran's oil and petrochemical sectors, a measure Iran said was an "assault on the Iranian people." Gharibabadi suggested Iran is awaiting a possible response to the preconditions it has set for resuming nuclear talks, including financial compensation and guarantees against military attack. The U.S. has rejected Iran's call for financial compensation, calling the request "ridiculous." What People Are Saying Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister of Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi told ILNA: "If we were able to lift the sanctions through negotiations, that would be great, and this is not a bad step, and we should do it. But if they want to take advantage of the negotiation platform, we should naturally not tie everything to negotiations." U.S. State Department Tammy Bruce told reporters on July 31: "What I can say is that any demands for financial compensation from the United States to the Iranian regime are ridiculous. If the Iranian regime really wanted to save money or alleviate some of the sanctions policy, they would stop taking destabilizing actions." What Happens Next Iran is risking further international sanctions if it fails to reach a nuclear agreement with European countries.
