The Federal Bureau of Investigation San Francisco said criminals are exploiting the holiday season to perpetrate scams against shoppers and donors, and people need to be vigilant. The scams involve online shopping, charity, cryptocurrency investment, gift cards and social media, according to the FBI.
Plus, home prices continued to cool in September in California and across the country, reflecting market headwinds, according to property data website CoreLogic.
The decline in seasonal home prices were driven by cooling California markets, the report found. Month-over-month home price declines were led by three markets in California: Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, all of which recorded a 0.9% drop in September.
