The median home list price used in this report represents the midway point of all the houses or units listed over the given period of time.

The average can be skewed by one particularly low or high price.

If you're on the cusp of a new job or a new term of studying, then it could be the right time to get a new laptop. After all, nearly all of us need some kind of PC or laptop to do our jobs or keep our studies on course, and it's much easier to do that if you've got your own option, and not one you only have limited access to. While they can be pricey, we've found a great deal on one for you today. Right now, you can get this HP Touchscreen Laptop for just $400, which is 75% off the currently listed normal price. That's an impressive amount of money off, and the specs on this thing aren't bad at all either. Just make sure you're quick if you want it though, because the deal won't last long. See at Amazon A laptop like this just means that you can work or study wherever you need to. That means it's great at home or in a dorm on a desk, sure, but it's also great if you're in bed watching something, or on the train to somewhere, cramming in a little bit more work or writing. The flexibility is a huge part of the appeal, and the touchscreen also makes it that much easier to use for a lot of people. This particular one comes from HP, so it's a brand well-known for quality devices. It packs in a surprising amount of power as well. It has 16GB of RAM, which means that you'll be able to multitask while using it, and also that you'll be able to run some more technically demanding programs. It also has a 512GB SSD, which means that you'll be able to store a lot of work on this thing without worrying about cloud storage. It also comes with one-year access to Microsoft Office, and it comes with Windows 11 Home S, which means that you won't have to worry about software at all for a bit. It's everything most people need, and it has a beautiful screen on top of that. This thing is definitely worth more than $400, so we recommend snapping it up if it's what you're looking for and you've got the money to get your hands on it now. The deal won't last for very long at this point, so don't miss out on it. See at Amazon

Yes, Job Searching Is Hard—And You Can Still Do It
Jaide Massin, Author & Exec. Coach, is founder of Soar Executive Coaching helping leaders grow with clarity, courage, and impact. Let's get real about job searching for a minute. Yes, it's going to take longer than you expect. Yes, it's going to feel uncomfortable. Yes, you're going to have to put yourself out there. And yes, you'll probably get rejected more than once. But none of that means you're doing it wrong. It means you're job searching. Job searching isn't just about finding a job. It's about rediscovering what you want, reintroducing yourself to the market and reminding yourself—and others—of the value you bring. And that process? It can shake your confidence, feel vulnerable and wear you down. But here's the truth: You only need one job. One "yes." And that yes comes when you stop trying to do it all alone and start doing it intentionally. The Job Seekers Who Get Hired Do These Five Things 1. They believe they'll get hired. Not in a fake-it-til-you-make-it way, but with quiet, grounded confidence. They show up as if the job is coming—because they believe it is. 2. They align their tools with the job they want. Your résumé, LinkedIn profile and interview answers should reflect the level and role you're targeting. If they don't? That's where a résumé writer or career coach can help. 3. They tell people. They're not embarrassed to say, "I'm job searching." They tell former colleagues, mentors, friends—even their dentist. The more people who know, the more doors open. 4. They give as well as take. They share leads, make intros and offer help because they understand that career momentum is often a two-way street. 5. They ask better questions. Instead of "Know of any jobs?" they ask: • "What skills are most valuable at your company right now?" • "Who else should I be speaking with?" • "If you were me, where would you focus next?" Better questions spark better conversations, and those lead to real opportunities. They Also Start Before You Think They Do The most successful job seekers don't wait until they're desperate. They stay aware of the market. They take interviews even when they're not looking, just to stay sharp. They keep their networks warm. In this market, you need to be one step ahead, always. Quick Tips For Staying In The Game LinkedIn is still the no. 1 place to look and network. Keep your profile up to date and aligned with your target. Engage. Comment. Reconnect. Check your frustration at the door. It's okay to feel it—briefly. But staying stuck in it won't get you results. Action will. Ask yourself daily: • What did I accomplish today? • Who can I connect with tomorrow? • What filters, companies or roles haven't I explored yet? • Who can I speak with at a company I want to work for? And If You Need Help? Hiring a coach or résumé writer is bringing in a professional to fix a problem you may not even realize is costing you. Think of it as an investment—in your future, your family, your peace of mind. If your messaging or your approach is off, it could be holding you back. And that delay compounds over time. Final Thoughts You only get one shot at your career. Don't guess. And consider not going it alone. You've done hard things before. You can do this, too.

CEO Loses Most of His Stock After Margin Loans at JPMorgan, RBC Backfire
Dave Schaeffer is running out of options to stave off the collapse of the Washington, DC, property empire he built over three decades. It was bad enough that his commercial real estate portfolio has lost more than half its value since 2022. But shares of the internet service provider he founded in 1999 — which he's sold in record amounts to pay down debt on his properties — have also plunged this year. That selloff reached such extremes earlier this month that JPMorgan & Chase Co. and Royal Bank of Canada seized more than $82 million of shares he'd pledged as collateral for loans.
