There will be momentum if it looks like Trump will win in November.

Consumer finished goods are way down. Housing prices forecasted to plummet in July.

Where’d you see that housing market forecast?

Industry guys, not published.

Interesting. I have a bunch of friends in the industry and none of them are

Same. My contacts are confident it’s going to go higher the second rates drop

May 16, 5:30pm

Oh, you're assuming rates are going to drop . . .

2FarGone

May 16, 5:41pm

100% they drop in the next 12 months. even if they don’t, prices won’t plummet.

macdizzle

May 16, 5:48pm

Then why are they dropping now?

Brisket

May 16, 6:01pm

They aren’t. Up 4% YoY for existing sales in the US. Utah is about 3% higher YoY

macdizzle

May 16, 6:09pm

Then why in the last month are the prices of most the houses we are looking at in Utah dropping like a rock?

Brisket

May 16, 9:45pm

Not sure. I’m just looking at the official data. You can Google it too.

macdizzle

May 16, 9:46pm

Okay, whose official data? Also, saying that houses are selling in any area is meaningless.

Brisket

May 16, 10:07pm

National Association of Realtors. They put out an official median home price

macdizzle

May 16, 10:22pm

And also, I said above it’s slowing down (fewer houses are selling), but prices

Last nationwide "at-scale" data listed is from Q1. It would appear that April and May are turning out different.

Brisket

May 17, 12:52am

It’ll be interesting to see. But the last data we have shows prices still rising

macdizzle

May 17, 7:31am

The last NAR data for state and county level in Utah is for Q4...of 2023. So, 5 1/2 months ago.

Brisket

May 17, 12:48am

I’m not married to NAR, find better statewide or national data, I don’t care.

If rates drop we have much bigger problems.

A couple of points with this my Utah RE buddy pointed out.

That's how inflation is reduced. The question is, how deep with it cut.

Still tons of buyers though.

Yeah, totally. Which is why I don't think an increase in supply would result in

It’ll be interesting to see in a month or two, and then through end of year.

It’s crazy to think there was $2 tn in liquidity that had nowhere else to go.

Spindash

I had no clue. Really helps explain a lot of things though.

rad dawg

May 16, 4:55pm

It really does. It also explains why QT really hasn't hit conventionally yet.

I've been scratching my head watching the fed.

I would say the problem right now is that the Fed has no idea what they are doing or what the effects will be.

I agree, I don't think they or anyone else knows how QT of this scale will work.
