Is December 26 the worst day to buy a home in California?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:57 GMT

Welcome to homebuying’s slowest day of the year.My trusty spreadsheet looked at some curious house-hunting stats from real estate tracker Attom, which tallied closed transactions and median pricing patterns by day of the year between 2013 and 2022. Yes, we’re talking daily data from closings – minus the bank holidays of New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, and Christmas.That data shows us that Dec. 26 is the slowest sales day of the year.The day after Christmas averaged 4,719 closings over 10 years, 62% below the average sales day in California with 12,270 closings in these 10 years. Obviously, sales are slow this time of year because who’d want to do big business amid holiday challenges and cheer.Curiously, those who did close deals on this day paid an average $390,000 price – 19% below California’s $480,000 10-year norm. That pricing averaged $9,200 above the estimated value – a premium that’s 56% below the typical markup of $20,700.So it seems like post-Christmas shopp...

49ers’ Brock Purdy after the crash and burn: ‘I have to be real with myself and be better’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:57 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy took the postgame podium on Christmas night the way he has 14 other times this season. No sign of outward emotion, whether it be euphoria or despair.But a 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Levi’s Stadium was unlike any Purdy has had in the brief whirlwind that has been his 49ers career.The same guy who had carved up four teams with winning records in one-sided victories, compiling a 141.2 passer rating with 13 touchdown passes and zero interceptions bottomed out with a 42.6 rating with no touchdown passes and four turnovers.A burgeoning Most Valuable Player candidacy was over, not that it ever seemed to matter much to Purdy, who himself backed teammate Christian McCaffrey. He finished 18 of 32 for 255 yards, but that was window dressing to the worst night of his professional career. The worst by a longshot — and it came with the entire country watching.We’ll learn a lot about how the 49ers bounce back the next two weeks in hopes ...

¿Se van a “extinguir” los uruguayos? Cae el número de nacidos en el país, pero los inmigrantes pueden ser la salvación

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:57 GMT

(CNN Español) — Uruguay tiene una población envejecida, cada vez más urbana, concentrada en el sur del país y estancada en los 3,4 millones de habitantes.El más reciente censo realizado en el país, que presentó el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), confirmó todas las sospechas y expectativas de los demógrafos locales, salvo por una novedad: por primera vez desde las olas migratorias que conformaron al país a principios del siglo XX, el número de extranjeros inmigrantes ha aumentado, sobre todo gracias a la llegada de venezolanos, argentinos y cubanos. Y fue precisamente gracias a esa llegada de nuevos residentes que la población uruguaya no tuvo un retroceso en la cifra de su población.Spotify anuncia que finalmente se queda en UruguaySegún el presidente del INE, Diego Aboal, “la primera gran conclusión del censo es que la población creció solo 1% entre 2011 y 2023.

Wood haunts former team with hat trick as Nottingham Forest beats Newcastle 3-1

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:57 GMT

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Chris Wood scored a hat trick against his former club as Nottingham Forest beat Newcastle 3-1 in the Premier League on Tuesday. Wood, who signed with Newcastle for £25 million ($32 million) in January before joining Forest in the summer, took advantage of woeful defending at St. James’ Park to help Forest end a seven-match winless league run and give new manager Nuno Espirito Santo his first victory. Newcastle took a 23rd-minute lead through Alexander Isak’s penalty but missed several opportunities to build on its advantage.Forest then pulled even in first-half stoppage time when Morgan Gibbs-White sprinted upfield and played a ball to Anthony Elanga, who slid a pass which Wood easily tapped in.After Gibbs-White sent a header wide in the opening moments of the second half, Wood ran onto a pass from Elanga, turned defender Dan Burn inside out and lifted a shot over Martin Dubavka to put Forest in front in the 53rd minuteForest then made it 3-1 seven minutes ...

How Ukrainian special forces secured a critical Dnipro River crossing in southern Ukraine

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:57 GMT

KHERSON, Ukraine (AP) — Their first battle plan was outdated the moment the dam crumbled. So the Ukrainian special forces officers spent six months adapting their fight to secure a crossing to the other side of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine.But it wasn’t enough just to cross the river. They needed backup to hold it. And for that, they needed proof that it could be done. For one of the officers, nicknamed Skif, that meant a flag — and a photo op.Skif, Ukrainian shorthand for the nomadic Scythian people who founded an empire on what is now Crimea, moves like the camouflaged amphibian that he is: Calculating, deliberate, until the time to strike.He is an officer in Center 73, one of Ukraine’s most elite units of special forces — frontline scouts, drone operators, underwater saboteurs. Their strike teams are part of the Special Operations Forces that run the partisans in occupied territories, sneak into Russian barracks to plant bombs and prepare the ground for reclaiming territo...

Can the Denver Broncos still make it to the playoffs after loss to Patriots?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:57 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The clock hasn’t struck midnight, but the seconds are moving quickly. Time has almost run out on the 2023 Denver Broncos.“The message is going to be about this game, our last home game,” said head coach Sean Payton on his weekly Zoom call. Broncos cut safety Kareem Jackson but will try to re-sign him to practice squad if he clears waivers The Broncos saw their path to the playoffs crumble on Christmas Eve, falling to the New England Patriots 26-23. Now, Denver can only hope for a lot of help from other teams. The easiest road would be through the AFC West by winning their final two games against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Kansas City Chiefs would also have to lose their final two games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers.The New York Times playoff predictor has the possibility at 6% based on 160,000 simulations.“I don’t feel like the pressure was different,” noted Payton after a couple of days of reflection on the he...
