  In top news, General Electric and United Nuclear
• 5:20
  have reached a U .S. consent decree mandating
• 5:23
  a cleanup of uranium mine waste, estimated to
• 5:26
  cost nearly $63 million. This effort will take
• 5:31
  over a decade, focusing on sites in New Mexico
• 5:34
  and the Navajo Nation. The Justice Department
• 5:38
  announced that the companies will excavate approximately
• 5:40
  1 million cubic yards of waste from the Northeast
• 5:44
  Church Rock Mine Superfund site. This mine operated
• 5:48
  from 1967 to 1982 and was a key source of uranium
• 5:53
  ore. The Environmental Protection Agency has
• 5:57
  previously mandated shorter -term cleanups, but

  risks remain for hazardous substance release.

  In business news, in a recent analysis, Zillow
• 6:09
  senior economist Orif Devangri highlights why
• 6:13
  2025 may be a good time to buy a house. After
• 6:17
  years of rising prices, Zillow forecasts a zero.
• 6:22
  8 % drop in home values by year -end, marking
• 6:25
  the first decline since 2011. With high mortgage
• 6:29
  rates stifling competition and inventory increasing,
• 6:33
  buyers currently have more leverage. DiValli
• 6:36
  advises against waiting for market timing, as
• 6:39
  mortgage rates can fluctuate unexpectedly. He
• 6:43
  notes that local markets vary, with affordability
• 6:46
  improving in areas like Texas and Florida, despite
• 6:49
  rising insurance costs. Sellers sitting on substantial
• 6:54
  equity are less likely to rush into the market.
