June 20, 2023 – The Fed did consider a pause, but they won’t call it a pause even though they did not raise rates. Why is that?

0

Economic Commentary To the Fed, it is not a pause. When a kitten or puppy waves their paws at us, it is considered major cuteness in action. When the Federal Reserve Board is faced with a decision regarding the “pausing” of interest rate hikes, there is no cuteness involved – just a bunch of hemming and hawing (not pawing). So,...” Read More

June 13, 2023 – Fifteen months ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s Open Market Committee met and raised short-term interest rates for the first time in almost four years.

Economic Commentary Here Comes The Fed. Fifteen months ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s Open Market Committee met and raised short-term interest rates for the first time in almost four years. Since then, there has been an automatic rise in short-term rates each time they have met – ten times in all. In a previous commentary we spoke about the tide...” Read More

June 6, 2023 – With a three percent interest rate and current rates closer to 6 percent or so, owners feel locked into their house.

0

Economic Commentary Locked in The House. In the old days, locked in a house would mean that the occupants are secure from threats emanating from outside their house. Today, they are also more likely to have not only a lock, but also a security system and/or video cameras. But this is not really the type of “locked in the house”...” Read More

May 30, 2023 – In the real estate market, things usually slow down a bit in the summer as the spring market winds down. Only, this is not your ordinary June.

0

Economic Commentary Seasonality, Debt, and Banks. Why did we put these three words together? First, we just celebrated Memorial Day. Though summer does not start officially for a few weeks, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of the summer season. It is the time that school starts to let out and the masses plan their vacations. In the real estate...” Read More

May 23, 2023 – The Tide is Turning. For a year we have had to deal with rising interest rates and lower home affordability.

0

Economic Commentary The Tide is Turning. For a year we have had to deal with rising interest rates and lower home affordability. Much of this was expected after record-low interest rates helped fuel a real estate purchasing frenzy which resulted in prices increasing by double digits for the past few years. Fast forward to today, and home prices have held...” Read More

May 16, 2023 – Does It Feel Like a Recession? Fannie Mae’s economists say a recession is coming. So does the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Economic Commentary Does It Feel Like a Recession? Fannie Mae’s economists say a recession is coming. So does the Mortgage Bankers Association. As a matter of fact, 58% of economists are predicting a recession coming in the near future. Some even are predicting that the recession has started in the second quarter, but most are now expecting the start to...” Read More

Economic Commentary Pulse of the Economy: Jobs. It has been a crazy first quarter. It is amazing that the economy produced approximately one million jobs during the first quarter of the year. Everyone knew that the pace of job creation was not likely to continue, especially since we have already replaced the number of jobs lost during the pandemic-induced recession...” Read More

May 2, 2023 – The middle point of a busy two weeks is being occupied by a two-day meeting of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee.

0

Economic Commentary Decision Time For The Fed. The middle point of a busy two weeks is being occupied by a two-day meeting of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee. At this juncture, the bets are on another .25% increase in short-term interest rates, but there is some hope that the Fed finally passes on increases for the first time in...” Read More
