Would-Be Home Sellers Slow to Return Despite Buyer Demand

SEATTLE, Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Newly pending sales remain well above last year’s level, according to Zillow’s Weekly Market Reportⁱ. They fell for the second week running in week-over-week numbers, but other measures continue to show a fast-moving market that favors sellers, indicating the recent dip has more to do with a lack of inventory than waning interest from potential buyers. In the rental market, renters and landlords are entering an uncertain period after some added unemployment benefits expired at the end of July.

«Record-low mortgage rates are helping fuel a brisk pace of home sales later into this summer than normal, but buyers are having to compete over fewer and fewer listings,» said Zillow economist Jeff Tucker. «The flow of new listings has recovered somewhat, but not fast enough to replace all the recent sales, so inventory continues to plumb new record lows. There’s no single reason sellers have been slow to return, but some possibilities include reluctance to having strangers tour their home; concerns about difficulty getting their next home and an assumption that they couldn’t sell for a high price right now.»

Newly pending sales fell last week, but other indicators show a hot market

Newly pending sales fell 0.9% week over week, but remain 13.8% higher than the same period a year ago.
Homes that went under contract last week were typically on the market for 14 days. That’s 11 days faster than last year.
The share of listings with a price cut held steady at 4.2%, which is 1.3 percentage points lower than a year ago. It’s remained at that share for the past four weeks.

Sellers are still holding back

New for-sale listings fell 3.6% week over week and were 15.8% lower than the previous year as would-be sellers continue to largely stay out of the market. That is an improvement from past months — new listings were down 16.5% annually in the week ending April 1, and down 24.7% in the week ending July 1.
Total listings are down 26.9% from a year ago, and down 0.9% from a week earlier.

List prices reach new yearly high

The median list price in the U.S. continues to grow, now at $343,680, 6.6% higher than last year.
During the week ending June 20, the median sale price was $266,805. That’s 1.4% higher than a year prior.
The gap between list prices and sale prices does not necessarily mean homes are selling for well under their list price. The most-expensive homes often take longer to sell than more-affordable homes, and they help push the median list price up while they linger on the market.

Uncertainty ahead for the rental market as some aid expires

Rents were chugging along at a stable pace before the coronavirus pandemic, but heavy service-sector unemployment has hit renters more severely than homeowners, impacting rental demand and slowing price growth. Boosted unemployment benefits have expired with no replacement in place for now, and that may cause a ripple effect felt by renters, landlords and those who rely on the rental industry.
Rent prices in urban areas have slowed more than those in suburban areas, a possible signal that renters’ preferred location is tilting toward the suburbs.

Panda Express® Partners with Actor Dakota Fanning for Annual Panda Cares Day™ Celebration in Support of Underserved Youth in Health and Education

ROSEMEAD, Calif., Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Following the establishment of its inaugural Panda Cares Day™ in 2019, Panda Cares^®, the philanthropic arm of Panda Express®, commemorates its anniversary on August 8 every year with a celebration of giving back. In honor of the holiday this year, Panda partnered with actor and children’s advocate Dakota Fanning, to host a virtual storytime for children across the country at eight Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals and 80 Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA) chapters. Dakota surprised the children with a video message filled with words of encouragement, followed by a dedicated reading of «All Are Welcome» by author Alexandra Penfold & illustrator Suzanne Kaufman. For more than 20 years, Panda Cares’ vision has been to empower youth to learn, lead and thrive for brighter futures through health and education, creating powerful learning pathways and focused care for the holistic well-being of kids nationwide.

Actor Dakota Fanning Reads "All Are Welcome" by Author Alexandra Penfold & illustrator Suzanne Kaufman as Part of Panda Cares Day™ Celebration

BGCA drive-by parties and CMN Hospital visits took place at 88 locations in which Panda hosted the virtual storytime this week. As part of the celebrations, the organizations received a total of 88,000 books for the children, aimed at developing reading skills, enhancing critical thinking skills and broadening perspectives. In addition, curated through its Panda Cub Club™ enrichment initiative established earlier this year, Panda provided fun at-home activities to encourage learning through play. Both CMN Hospitals and BGCA are longtime partners of Panda Cares and have enabled the foundation to support millions of children and families over the years.

«As a family business, we believe it is our responsibility to foster the spirit of kindness in our extended Panda family of guests and associates, and it has been an honor to witness everyone coming together to further our mission of inspiring better lives,» said Dr. Peggy Cherng, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Panda Express. «Panda Cares Day has a special place in our hearts for many reasons. The number 8 is the luckiest number in the Chinese culture, representing prosperity. The number is thought to bring good fortune in life, which is why we established Panda Cares Day on August 8—to share good fortune with the communities we serve.»

Following a commitment of $25 million to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to fund Panda Cares Centers of Hope in 2019, Panda Cares unveils its 8^th Center of Hope on Panda Cares Day 2020 at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, which is serendipitously celebrating its 8^th anniversary this year. The Panda Cares Center of Hope inspires hope and promotes healing by providing specially curated programs that address each child’s entire well-being, including their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. Therapeutic play, art therapy, and counseling services are just a few examples of a wide range of offerings at Panda Cares Center of Hope designed to give children the courage and strength to thrive. Since last year, Panda and CMN Hospitals have debuted Center of Hope locations across several hospitals in the U.S. including California, Texas, Nevada, Hawaii, Washington D.C., and Arizona.

To extend the festivities to its guests, the American Chinese brand has organized a virtual fundraiser on August 8, to continue to drive donations to support children in underserved communities. When a guest places an order on the Panda Express mobile app or website using the promo code ‘PandaCaresDay,’ Panda Express will donate 28 percent of the pre-tax sales to their local CMN hospital.

Panda Cares is funded through the in-store and online donation box program and associates at Panda Express, Panda Inn, and Hibachi-San as well as Panda Restaurant Group partners and founders.

Shadyac, Jr., presidente y CEO de ALSAC, organización que tiene el único propósito de recaudar fondos y crear conciencia sobre St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. «En St. Jude, sabemos que al unirnos y ayudar a los que más lo necesitan, podemos hacer una gran diferencia, por lo cual espero que nos acompañen para Music Gives: Together #forStJude el 13 de agosto – Serán seis horas de contenido especial y artistas increíbles. Lo más impactante es que al donar por medio de eventos como este, nos ayudas a asegurar que las familias nunca reciban una factura de St. Jude por tratamiento, transporte, hospedaje ni alimentación – porque creemos que la única preocupación de las familias debe ser ayudar a sus hijos a vivir.»

Panda Express® se asocia con Dakota Fanning para la celebración anual de Panda Cares Day™ para apoyar a jóvenes necesitados en las áreas de salud y educación

ROSEMEAD, California, 7 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Tras el establecer su inaugural Panda Cares Day™ en 2019, Panda Cares®, el brazo filantrópico de Panda Express®, conmemora su aniversario el 8 de agosto de cada año con una celebración de retribución a la comunidad. Para conmemorar la ocasión, Panda se asoció este año con Dakota Fanning, actriz y defensora de los niños, para leer virtualmente cuentos infantiles a niños alrededor del país en ocho hospitales de Children’s Miracle Network (CMN, por sus siglas en inglés) y en 80 locales del Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA, por sus siglas en inglés). Dakota sorprendió a los niños con un video lleno de palabras de aliento, seguido la lectura del cuento «Todos son bienvenidos» (All Are Welcome) de la autora Alexandra Penfold y la ilustradora Suzanne Kaufman. Durante más de 20 años, la visión de Panda Cares ha sido capacitar a los jóvenes para que aprendan, lideren y prosperen para que tengan un futuro más brillante a través de la salud y la educación, creando poderosos caminos de aprendizaje y cuidado enfocados en el bienestar holístico de los niños en todo el país.

Las fiestas tipo desfiles en los BGCA y las visitas a los hospitales CMN se llevaron a cabo en 88 locales, en donde Panda organiza la lectura virtual de los cuentos. Como parte de las celebraciones, las organizaciones recibieron un total de 88,000 libros para los niños, destinados a desarrollar las habilidades de lectura, mejorar las habilidades de pensamiento crítico y ampliar sus perspectivas. Además, a través de su iniciativa Panda Cub Club™, establecida a principios de este año, Panda ofreció divertidas actividades para hacer en casa para fomentar el aprendizaje a través del juego. Tanto la red de hospitales CMN como los BGCA han colaborado durante años con Panda Cares y han permitido que la fundación apoye a millones de niños y familias a lo largo de los años.

«Como empresa familiar, creemos que es nuestra responsabilidad fomentar el espíritu de bondad a nuestra extensa familia de clientes y asociados. Ha sido un honor ser testigos de cómo todos se unen para promover nuestra misión de inspirar mejores vidas», dijo la Dr. Peggy Cherng, Cofundadora y codirectora ejecutiva de Panda Express. «El Panda Cares Day tiene un lugar especial en nuestros corazones por muchas razones. El número 8 es el número más afortunado en la cultura china y representa la prosperidad. Se cree que el número trae buena fortuna en la vida, por eso establecimos el Panda Cares Day el 8 de agosto para compartir la buena fortuna con las comunidades en las que servimos».

Tras un compromiso de donar $25 millones a los hospitales de Children’s Miracle Network para financiar los Panda Cares Centers of Hope (Centros de Esperanza Panda Cares, en español) en 2019, Panda Cares inaugura su octavo Panda Cares Centers of Hope en el Panda Cares Day del 2020 en el Lurie Children’s Hospital de Chicago, Illinois, que este año celebra por casualidad su 8vo aniversario. El Panda Cares Center of Hope fomenta la esperanza y promueve la curación, proporcionando programas especialmente creados para abordar el bienestar total de cada niño, incluyendo sus necesidades físicas emocionales, mentales y espirituales. El juego terapéutico, la terapia de arte y los servicios de asesoramiento son sólo algunos ejemplos de la amplia gama de servicios diseñados en los Panda Cares Center of Hope para dar a los niños el valor y la fuerza que necesitan para salir adelante. Desde el año pasado, Panda y los hospitales CMN han inaugurado los Center of Hope en varios hospitales de los Estados Unidos incluyendo California, Texas, Nevada, Hawái, Washington D.C. y Arizona.

Para extender las festividades a sus invitados, la marca de comida chino-americana ha organizado un evento virtual de recaudación de fondos el 8 de agosto, para seguir impulsando las donaciones y apoyar a los niños de las comunidades más desfavorecidas. Cuando un invitado hace un pedido en la aplicación móvil o en la página web de Panda Express utilizando el código de promoción ‘PandaCaresDay’, Panda Express donará el 28% de las ventas online antes de impuestos a su hospital CMN local.

Panda Cares se financia a través del programa de donación en los restaurantes y en su página de internet, y por las donaciones de sus asociados en Panda Express, Panda Inn, y Hibachi-San; así como, de los socios y fundadores de Panda Restaurant Group. La fundación proporciona alimentos, financiación y servicios voluntarios a jóvenes de bajos recursos, y también brindan ayuda en caso de desastres.
