November 4, 2025 – The Fed Speaks While The Government Sleeps

Economic Commentary Every time the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee meets, it is a big event for the markets. This time around, the meeting carried extra significance for a few reasons. First, the delay of most economic reports due to the government shutdown meant that there was not only a dearth of data for the Fed to rely upon, but...” Read More

October 28, 2025 – The Fed Meeting

Economic Commentary The Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee meets today and tomorrow, and a major topic of discussion will be the economy and whether to lower interest rates.

October 22, 2025 – A Non-Scheduled Pause…

Economic Commentary The government shutdown has now run for three straight weeks. The shutdown has caused a host of disruptions across America – from shortages of personnel at certain airports causing flight delays to the expiration of Federal Flood Insurance needed to close mortgages for real estate transactions. Of course, no sector is suffering more than the government workers who...” Read More

October 14, 2025 – The More Things Change…

Economic Commentary The more they stay the same. New Administration. New Congress. But the deadline for a funding bill to keep the government open goes down to the last second. And for the first time in five years, they did not kick the can down the road. Instead, both sides walked away from the table. Apparently, they will need to...” Read More

October 7, 2025 – Are We In a Buyer’s Market?

Economic Commentary This is a question that many are asking after so many years of a seller’s market within the real estate sector. There has been a shortage of listings for so long that it is hard to comprehend an era in which buyers actually had a variety of choices for their next home. The beginnings of the real estate...” Read More

September 30, 2025 – This is Getting Serious

Economic Commentary We started the year off with a strong, but slowing economy. In 2024 the Gross Domestic Product showed a growth rate of approximately 2.5%, which was a decent showing. Though with higher interest rates and the pandemic recovery behind us, it makes sense that the economy would slow a bit from here. What we were not expecting was...” Read More

September 23, 2025 – The Fed Has Spoken

Economic Commentary Finally. After months of back and forth and speculation, the Federal Reserve has lowered its benchmark rate by 0.25%. While the August job numbers combined with the substantial downward revisions of jobs added during the past year pretty well clinched the fact that the Fed was likely to lower rates, there was still a decent amount of speculation...” Read More

September 16, 2025 – And The Three Questions Are?

Economic Commentary The Federal Reserve Board’s Open Market Committee is meeting this week. Their meeting takes place one week after the most recent inflation report was released showing that consumer prices continue to rise higher than the Fed’s targets, as expected. This report only served to increase speculation regarding what the Fed might do. This leads to the first most...” Read More

September 9, 2025 – What This Jobs Report Tells

Economic Commentary July’s employment report had such a large revision of the previous two months of data, it is no wonder that the markets were anxiously waiting for the August figures in order to get a more complete picture of our workforce situation. It is one thing to see a month or two of concerning data. It is quite another...” Read More

September 2, 2025 – Summer is Over?

Economic Commentary We know we had a summer because we are still sweating from the hot and steamy weather we had on the east coast this year. But it certainly seems like summer has come and gone very quickly this year. Yes, we know that fall does not arrive until the latter part of September, but mentally summer is over...” Read More
