Your HOA Is Watching You… With Flock Cameras?! + Is Housing Finally Crashing???

Your HOA may be watching every car that enters your neighborhood—and the housing market just snapped an eight-month growth streak. So are Flock cameras making communities safer… and is housing finally starting to crack?

LIVE on This Week in Real Estate, we're digging into the biggest real estate news of the week, including HOA surveillance, rising mortgage rates, weakening buyer demand, housing-market divergence, MLS battles, commission lawsuits, and a growing debate over professionalism in real estate.

Pending home sales just fell after eight straight months of year-over-year gains, new listings are climbing while demand slips, and higher mortgage rates are pushing more borrowers toward adjustable-rate loans. But calling this a nationwide housing crash may be way too simple: San Diego homes are selling faster, San Francisco is outperforming Seattle, and local markets continue to move in very different directions.

Then there's the surveillance question. More HOAs are turning to Flock license-plate recognition cameras, raising new questions about security, privacy, data collection, and what buyers should know before moving into a neighborhood using them.

In this live episode, we'll cover:

• HOAs using Flock cameras to monitor vehicles entering neighborhoods

• The privacy and disclosure questions buyers should be asking

• Pending home sales breaking an eight-month growth streak

• New listings rising as buyer demand weakens

• Whether higher mortgage rates are actually pushing housing toward a crash

• Why more borrowers are choosing adjustable-rate mortgages

• San Diego homes suddenly selling faster than last year
