To identify which metro areas might offer buyers the most opportunity right now, ResiClub analyzed the share of homes on Zillow with a price cut. Of course, just because a home listed for sale gets a price cut doesnt guarantee that comps in that area are falling. After all, there will always be some sellers who overshoot their market. Even during the height of the Pandemic Housing Boom in June 2021, 11.4% of homes for sale that month saw a price cut. The way to interpret this data is to compare it over time. If the percentage of homes with a price cut in a given area decreases noticeably (particularly, beyond the normal seasonal swing), it suggests the market has tightened and sellers have gained relative leverage. Conversely, if the percentage increases noticeably (again, beyond the normal seasonal swing), it suggests the market has cooled and buyers have gained relative leverage. The national share of U.S. homes with a price cut is further confirmation that the housing market has been shifting, relatively speaking, toward buyers ever since mortgage rates spiked and the Pandemic Housing Boom fizzled out: June 2018 > 18.1% June 2019 > 20.1% June 2020 > 14.8% June 2021 > 11.4% June 2022 > 17.2% June 2023 > 19.1% June 2024 > 23.5% June 2025 > 25.6% Click here to view a searchable/sortable table with data for more than 900 metropolitan and micro-area housing markets. If youre a ResiClub readerespecially a ResiClub PRO memberneither the softening nor the bifurcation should surprise you. As ResiClub has well documented, many housing markets in the Northeast and Midwest have thus far had a milder and slower softening, while many areas in pandemic boom areas in the Mountain West and Sunbelt have seen a faster and greater softening in the post-boom market. To help you better view the story, weve created a map showing the share of homes that saw a price cut in June for every year since 2018.

The delivery app DoorDash and the Alphabet-owned drone company Wing are bringing mall food court favorites to select doorsteps as they expand their drone delivery program. The companies recently announced that they were partnering with GoTo Foods, the parent company behind shopping mall brands like Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, and Schlotzsky’s, to deliver orders by drone to select areas in Frisco, Fort Worth, and Plano, Texas. It’s DoorDash’s latest push into delivery by air after announcing in March it would launch a drone delivery pilot program with Wing for select Wendy’s items in Christiansburg, Virginia, and also a sign that the company sees more room for growth. DoorDash said it began offering drone delivery for Papa Johns and The Brass Tap during limited hours of operation in parts of Little Elm and Frisco, Texas, in June, and now its partnership with GoTo Foods takes that pilot program further. “As we continue scaling our drone operations, we remain focused on building a world-class logistics platform that enables partners like Wing to integrate seamlessly into our ecosystem; provides a smooth, reliable delivery experience for merchants; and offers consumers fast and affordable access to brands they love,” DoorDash’s drone program head Harrison Shih said in a statement. For now, drone delivery is limited to just a 4-mile radius of participating locations, but for those who live in the radius, DoorDash promises delivery within minutes of ordering. The company has leaned into robotic delivery outside of drones with Coco, a delivery robot it began testing earlier this year in Los Angeles and Chicago. And in May, it bought the British delivery app Deliveroo for $3.9 billion. DoorDash reported more than $3 billion in quarterly revenue in the most recent quarter, up nearly 25% from the same time last year, according to PitchBook data. For GoTo Foods, the partnership with DoorDash is a chance to take its brand out of the shopping mall and to reinvent it for a new generation at a time when malls are changing. Thanks to drones, food court pretzels could be more easily accessible to “high-growth suburban areas” that are “well beyond traditional mall locations,” the two companies said in a press release. You used to go to the mall. The mall now comes to you.

Sarah thought she’d nailed it. Three rounds of interviews for her dream marketing role, glowing feedback from the hiring manager, and a reassuring “we’ll be in touch soon.” So when the rejection email landed in her inbox two weeks latera generic “we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate”it felt like a gut punch. If youve had a similar experience taking job rejection more personally than youd like, youre not alone. Youre also very human. In fact, research has found that 78% of professionals say job rejection negatively impacts their confidence for weeks or even months afterward. But as normal as it is to feel knocked down, were also capable of using rejection to clarify our direction, refine our value, and accelerate the outcomes (and ideal roles) we wantnot to let it define us. This isnt about building thicker skin. Its about building smarter systems and more empowered thinking. Here are six straightforward strategies to do that. 1. Use the 24-hour rule. Youre human, not a robot. Its okay not to feel great when a rejection email lands in your inbox. Emotions may not always be rational, but theyre still real. So cut yourself some slack and give yourself permission to feel disappointed without immediately trying to “fix” it or bounce back. Set a timer for 24 hours, acknowledge the sting, then deliberately shift into learning mode. This prevents both endless rumination and what psychologists call “emotional bypassing”jumping straight to positivity without processing the real emotions. 2. Separate the ‘no’ from your self-worth. This rejection isn’t a referendum on your value as a person or professional: it’s simply a mismatch, not a verdict. Research has shown that people with a growth mindsetwho ask What can this teach me? instead of Whats wrong with me?are more likely to bounce back from setbacks, stay motivated, and take constructive action. When Marcus, a software engineer, didnt get the senior developer role he wanted, he initially spiraled into self-doubt. But when he shifted from “I’m not good enough,” to “What skills do I need to develop?” he used the feedback to land an even better position six months later. You do yourself a disservice when you let the subjective evaluation others place on you depreciate the value you place on yourself. That Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft is proof that sometimes those tasked with assessing others’ future potential have absolutely no idea. 3. Ask for feedbackeven if you don’t get it. The simple act of requesting constructive feedback signals a growth mindset and helps you reflect more objectively on the experience. Even when companies dont respond (and many wont), the process of asking forces you to think strategically about your performance and what you might do differently next time. 4. Reframe it as redirection, not rejection. Jenny, a finance executive, felt incredibly disappointed when she didnt get a controller position at a startup. Six months later, when that company folded, she realized the rejection had actually protected her from a career disaster. Sometimes a “no” is actually steering you away from a situation that wouldnt have served you well. Research from Glassdoor shows that 65% of people who stay in roles that werent their first choice report lower job satisfaction within two years. 5. Dont personalize systemic issues. Sometimes hiring decisions come down to budget, internal politics, timing, or internal candidates being preferredfactors that have nothing to do with your qualifications. Other times, personal preferences, unconscious judgments, or stereotypes bias hiring decisions. According to research from SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), 48% of HR managers admitted that biases affect the candidates they hire. Many hiring decisions are influenced by factors completely outside a candidates control. Avoid interpreting rejection as anything more than a decision someone madea decision shaped by a whole array of factors and biasesthat simply wasnt the one you wanted them to make. You cant control those variables, but you can control your response. 6. Track your progress, not just your wins Top performers dont avoid rejectionthey risk it regularly and treat it as no more than a hidden curriculum, mining any insights for their next opportunity. Create a system that tracks not only your wins, but also your courage: interviews taken, skills built, connections made, insights gained. Maybe you realized you need to clarify your value proposition. Maybe you discovered a role or industry isnt for you. These are all progress markers. These are all victories worth celebrating. Its not rejection itself that holds future potential hostage, but the emotions of unworthiness it triggers. The irony is that by avoiding rejection, we often reject ourselveslong before anyone else has the chance. So whether youre starting out or starting over, the biggest setback isnt being told no. Its letting it stop you from showing up again. Just imagine the possibilities if you moved forward knowing that rejection is simply part of your individualized growth plan. Let rejection refine your clarity, not shrink your courage. Keep putting yourself forward. Keep learning. Your next opportunity may just need the version of you that rejection helped shape.
