🔑 Do Title Risks End at Closing? Not Always.

You have the keys, the deed is recorded, and the transaction is complete. 🏡 But could a title issue still surface afterward?

Issues such as a previously unknown lien, forged document, or undisclosed ownership interest may not come to light until after you purchase your home. ⚠️

An owner’s title insurance policy may provide protection for certain covered title risks, subject to the terms of the policy. 🛡️💙

Understanding what can happen after closing is an important part of protecting your property rights.

The Sun Belt apartment boom left a sizable supply hangover. But not every market is feeling it the same way.

The median vacancy rate across Sun Belt cities has nearly doubled, rising from 5.5% in 2021 to 10.7% in 2026, compared with an 8.1% national median. Yet the picture varies significantly across the region, with vacancy rates ranging from below 5% to nearly 19% in some markets.

First American Senior Commercial Real Estate Economist Xander Snyder examines where the apartment supply wave hit hardest, why the Southeast has seen such wide variation, and the early signs that supply and demand may be starting to rebalance.

Our Chief Strategy Officer Paul Hurst takes on title insurance waivers in a new op-ed in HousingWire, examining the role the title industry plays in helping protect property rights and address roughly $600 billion in annual risk exposure.

Paul explains why removing title insurance does not eliminate that risk. It shifts more of the burden to homeowners, lenders and taxpayers.
