Central banks are cutting rates. Everything will change by September 2024.

Central banks around the world are now starting to cut interest rates. With the Bank of Canada and the ECB being the first two central banks to cut. Does that mean that the Federal Reserve might be next?

REVENTURE APP: https://www.reventure.app

Inflation levels are still elevated across America. With the 3.3% inflation rate today being healthily above the Fed's 2% target. This indicates that the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates in the near term.

Betting markets suggest we will see 1-2 Fed Rate cuts before the end of this year. This would push mortgage rate down to 6.5% range. Which would not be enough to bring many homebuyers back into the market.

New Zealand around 15 years ago led to significant changes in the real estate market, with a focus on enhanced consumer protection and transparency. While the long-term impact has been a more regul... | Real Estate News and Auction | Scoop.it

Around 15 years ago, New Zealand experienced a significant shift in its real estate market when it moved away from the traditional model involving buyers' agents. The primary change was the introduction of the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, which came into full effect in 2009. This Act aimed to provide better protection for consumers and ensure greater transparency and accountability within the real estate industry.

Key Changes and Impacts:

  1. Introduction of a Single-Agent Model:

    • The new legislation effectively eliminated the traditional role of buyers' agents, leading to a single-agent model where one agent represents the seller and assists the buyer.
    • This change was intended to streamline the process and reduce conflicts of interest, as previously, dual agency (where one agent represented both buyer and seller) had been common and controversial.
  2. Enhanced Consumer Protection:

    • The Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA) was established to oversee the conduct of real estate agents and handle complaints, offering greater protection to consumers.
    • New rules and a Code of Professional Conduct and Client Care were implemented to ensure that agents acted ethically and transparently.
  3. Market Dynamics:

    • The removal of buyers' agents led to a greater emphasis on the role of listing agents who primarily represent the interests of sellers.
    • Buyers had to become more self-reliant, conducting their own research and negotiations without a dedicated agent advocating on their behalf.
  4. Impact on Real Estate Practices:

    • The industry saw an increase in the use of public auctions and open homes as preferred methods for selling properties, providing a more open and competitive environment for buyers.
    • Some buyers sought legal or independent advisory services to fill the gap left by buyers' agents, particularly for assistance with legal and financial aspects of property transactions.
  5. Market Reactions:

    • Initially, there was some confusion and adjustment as both consumers and agents adapted to the new regulatory environment.
    • Over time, the market stabilized, and consumers became more accustomed to the new system, with many appreciating the increased transparency and regulatory oversight.

Long-term Effects:

  • Property Values and Market Stability:

    • The market continued to grow, with property values generally increasing, although influenced by broader economic factors beyond the changes in real estate practices.
    • The single-agent model became the norm, and the real estate industry adapted to the regulatory changes, maintaining a robust and active market.
  • Consumer Confidence:

    • Increased regulatory oversight and clearer guidelines for agent conduct helped to boost consumer confidence in the real estate process.
    • Buyers and sellers became more informed and cautious, often seeking independent advice to navigate transactions effectively.

In summary, the decision to move away from buyers' agents in New Zealand around 15 years ago led to significant changes in the real estate market, with a focus on enhanced consumer protection and transparency. While the adjustment period presented challenges, the long-term impact has been a more regulated and stable market environment.

MORTGAGE UPDATE

6/10/2024

 
Week of June 3, 2024 in Review

Despite stronger than expected job growth in May, there are some signs that the labor market is softening. Plus, appreciating home values show the opportunity that remains in homeownership. Here are last week’s highlights:   

 

-Big Discrepancy in Jobs Data

 

-Private Payrolls Show Signs of Weakness

 

-Job Openings Continue to Contract

 

-Initial Jobless Claims Hit 4-Week High

 

-Opportunity in Housing Remains Strong

 

Big Discrepancy in Jobs Data

 
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that there were 272,000 jobs created in May, which was much stronger than the 185,000 new jobs that had been forecasted. However, negative revisions to March and April cut 15,000 jobs in those months combined while the unemployment rate rose from 3.9% to 4%, which is the highest since January 2022.
 

What’s the bottom line? It’s important to look at both surveys within the Jobs Report, which told two different stories regarding job growth.

 

The headline job number comes from the report’s Business Survey, which is based predominantly on modeling and estimations. In fact, one of the biggest reasons we saw large job gains last month was the birth/death model, where the BLS estimates new business creation relative to closed businesses and how many jobs this created.

 

In May, this modeling added 231,000 jobs to the headline figure, which would have shown a gain of just 41,000 jobs otherwise.

 

Meanwhile, the Household Survey’s job creation component (which is considered more real-time because it’s derived by calling households) showed 408,000 job losses – a huge divergence from the headline figure! Looking more closely at this data, part-time workers increased by 286,000 while full-time workers fell by 625,000, suggesting some softening in the job market despite the strong headline number. 

 

Private Payrolls Show Signs of Weakness

 

ADP’s Employment Report showed that private payrolls rose less than expected in May, as employers added 152,000 new jobs versus the 175,000 that had been forecasted. Job growth in April was also revised lower by 4,000 jobs. Nearly all the gains came from service-providing sectors (+149,000), with goods producers only adding 3,000 jobs due to a slowdown in manufacturing and mining.

 

Small businesses also continue to feel the pinch, as those with fewer than 50 employees reported 10,000 job losses. This is compared to 177,000 new jobs added among medium and large companies combined.

 

Annual pay gains decelerated for job changers, with ADP reporting an average increase of 7.8% in May versus 9.3% in April. Job stayers saw an average increase of 5% for the third month in a row.

 
What’s the bottom line? “Job gains and pay growth are slowing going into the second half of the year,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “The labor market is solid, but we're monitoring notable pockets of weakness tied to both producers and consumers.”

 

Job Openings Continue to Contract

 

The latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed that job openings contracted to 8.059 million in April, coming in well below estimates, while March’s openings also saw a significant revision lower from 8.488 million to 8.355 million. The hiring rate and quit rate both held steady at 3.6% and 2.2%, respectively.

 

What’s the bottom line? Job openings have reached their lowest level since February 2021 and are now well below the high of 12 million hit in 2022. Plus, the quit rate has also fallen over the last year, suggesting there is less poaching from other companies and fewer people feel confident about finding new employment. Overall, this data is another sign that weakness is building in the labor sector.

 

Initial Jobless Claims Hit 4-Week High

 

Initial Jobless Claims rose by 8,000 in the latest week, with 229,000 people filing new unemployment claims. There were also 1.792 million people still receiving benefits after filing their initial claim, as Continuing Claims increased by 2,000.  

 

What’s the bottom line? While Initial Jobless Claims remain low on a historical basis, Continuing Claims are still trending near some of the hottest levels we’ve seen in recent years, suggesting that layoffs remain low but the pace of hiring has slowed. This correlates with the slowdown in hiring seen in the JOLTS report, as well as the latest Job Cuts report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which showed that hiring announcements fell to their lowest year-to-date level in a decade.

 

Opportunity in Housing Remains Strong

 

CoreLogic’s Home Price Index showed that home prices nationwide rose 1.1% in April after rising 1.2% in March, showing that home price appreciation remains strong this spring. Prices are also 5.3% higher when compared to April of last year. CoreLogic forecasts that home prices will rise 0.8% in May and 3.4% in the year going forward, though their forecasts are typically on the conservative side so it’s possible appreciation will be even higher.

 

ICE (formally known as Black Knight) also reported that national home values rose 0.3% in April after seasonal adjustment, with their index showing that prices are 5.1% higher than a year ago.

 

What’s the bottom line? The latest rise in home prices reported by CoreLogic and ICE echoes the strong growth seen by other major indices like Case-Shiller and the Federal Housing Finance Agency. These reports continue to demonstrate why homeownership remains a good opportunity for building wealth through real estate.

 

Family Hack of the Week

 

Celebrate National Cupcake Lovers Day on June 13 with these rich and decadent Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes courtesy of the Food Network. Yields 12 cupcakes.

 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

 

Cream 1/4 pound unsalted butter (room temperature) and 1 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add 4 extra large eggs (room temperature), 1 at a time. Mix in 1 1/3 cup chocolate syrup and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

 

Scoop batter into prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes or until just set in the middle. Cool thoroughly in the muffin pan.

 

To make the ganache, cook 1/2 cup heavy cream, 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm. Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache. Do not refrigerate.

 

What to Look for This Week 

 

The Fed’s two-day meeting begins Tuesday, with their Monetary Policy Statement and press conference coming Wednesday afternoon. Members will most certainly dissect the inflation data that will be reported Wednesday morning when May’s Consumer Price Index is released. An update on wholesale inflation via the Producer Price Index follows on Thursday.

 

Also of note, look for news on small business optimism from the NFIB on Tuesday and the latest Jobless Claims on Thursday. Investors will also be closely watching Tuesday’s 10-year Note and Thursday’s 30-year Bond auctions for the level of demand.

 

Technical Picture

 

After Friday’s strong headline job figure, Mortgage Bonds broke back beneath their 100-day Moving Average and the 100.427 Fibonacci level, ending last week sitting on their 25-day Moving Average. The 10-year broke above three ceilings of resistance to end last week just under its 25-day Moving Average.

NAR Says Settlement 'eliminates'Theoretical steering — But Plaintiffs Issue Warning

NAR Says Settlement 'eliminates'Theoretical steering — But Plaintiffs Issue Warning | Real Estate News and Auction | Scoop.it

“Steering is a very serious legal issue in the antitrust world,” Ketchmark said in a statement. “Anyone who thinks they can send out a few emails or bury their head in the sand and avoid the application of the law is wrong. As these new rules take effect we will take legal action to enforce the settlement agreement.”

AZ Mountain Lake Realty's insight:

 

"Theoretical steering" is a concept that typically relates to the field of control theory, systems engineering, and robotics. It refers to the development and application of mathematical models and algorithms to control and direct the behavior of a system towards a desired state or path.

Here's a breakdown of what "theoretical steering" entails:

  1. Mathematical Modeling: Creating abstract representations of the system that need to be controlled. This could be a robot, a vehicle, or any dynamic system.

  2. Control Algorithms: Developing algorithms that dictate how the system should behave. These algorithms use feedback from the system to adjust its path or behavior in real-time.

  3. Optimization: Ensuring that the steering or control method is efficient and effective. This could involve minimizing energy use, time, or error in reaching a target state.

  4. Simulation: Testing the theoretical models and control algorithms in a simulated environment before applying them in real-world scenarios. This helps in identifying potential issues and refining the approach.

  5. Feedback Mechanism: Using sensors and data to provide real-time feedback to the control system, allowing for adjustments and corrections to be made dynamically.

In practice, "theoretical steering" could be used in various applications, such as:

  • Autonomous Vehicles: Algorithms designed to steer vehicles safely and efficiently.
  • Robotics: Controlling the movement and operations of robots.
  • Aerospace: Guiding spacecraft or drones to follow precise trajectories.
  • Manufacturing: Steering robotic arms and machinery for precision tasks.

Overall, "theoretical steering" combines principles from mathematics, engineering, and computer science to achieve precise control over dynamic systems.

40% of buyers might choose to go directly to the listing agent, bypassing traditional buyer's agents

40% of buyers might choose to go directly to the listing agent, bypassing traditional buyer's agents | Real Estate News and Auction | Scoop.it

Following the implementation of the NAR settlement's policy changes on August 17, 2024, there is significant speculation about the impact on the behavior of home buyers. One notable prediction is that up to 40% of buyers might choose to go directly to the listing agent, bypassing traditional buyer's agents. This potential shift is driven by the new rules eliminating mandatory offers of compensation from listing brokers to buyer brokers on MLS listings​ (RISMedia)​​ (RealEstateNews.com)​.

The settlement, which is a result of antitrust lawsuits, mandates several changes, including the removal of broker compensation fields from MLS listings and the requirement for buyers' agents to have formal agreements with their clients before showing properties​ (Mortgage Reports)​. These changes aim to increase transparency and allow for more direct negotiation of agent fees between clients and their agents, but they also mean that buyers now bear more responsibility for negotiating and covering their agent’s commission.

The implications of these changes are far-reaching. While it could lead to cost savings for some sellers, buyer agents might face challenges in justifying their value to clients who are now responsible for their fees. This shift could encourage buyers to approach listing agents directly to avoid additional costs, potentially changing the dynamics of how real estate transactions are conducted​ (RealEstateNews.com)​.

Wholesaling Real Estate is About to Change Forever (New Law!)

Episode #224

Check out the full blog post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/new-south-carolina-law-would-severely-crack-down-on-wholesaling?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none

Wholesaling real estate may be banned nationwide within a few short years. After a new law was passed in South Carolina prohibiting the practice, other states started to follow their lead, making their own laws that limit or completely restrict wholesaling real estate. Why is this happening now, and if a nationwide wholesaling ban does get passed, are there loopholes for wholesalers to still make money assigning properties? South Carolina real estate attorney Gary Pickren is on the show to explain.

Gary is no stranger to wholesaling. He’s quick to tell you how crucial wholesaling has been to his business’s growth. But Gary isn’t trying to dance around the new laws and pretend that everything will be alright for real estate wholesalers. In fact, Gary believes that this new South Carolina law could change real estate wholesaling forever, and it may even be for the best.

We’ll describe the new South Carolina law and the legal verbiage that spells out the wholesaling ban. Gary even gives a completely legal way of getting around the new wholesaling law, but the rules MUST be followed. If you’re a wholesaler anywhere in the United States, this law directly affects you and your livelihood. Not staying up-to-date on this could, at best, cost you money or, at worst, land you behind bars.

Investing for Growth: Zillow and Redfin in Mortgage

Investing for Growth: Zillow and Redfin in Mortgage

A number of real estate tech companies have ambitions to grow mortgage businesses, and results from the past year highlight which companies are actually gaining market share.

Why it matters: The data shows, in very real terms, what “investing for growth” really means, and which companies are best positioned to grow mortgage as a meaningful adjacency.
  • Zillow is the standout, doubling its MLO (Mortgage Loan Originator) headcount over the past 14 months – during a very difficult time to be in mortgage.
In a down market, it’s rare for a company to double its mortgage headcount.
  • But one other company has done so, seemingly back from the abyss: Better Mortgage.
     
  • After shedding over 1,000 MLOs during the dark days of 2022, Better is back – or at least investing for growth – by doubling its MLO headcount over the past year.
Redfin has slowly shed MLOs since its acquisition of Bay Equity Home Loans in 2022.
  • Like Zillow, its goal is to attach mortgage services to its core brokerage operation, but in contrast to Zillow, its headcount is shrinking (down 30 percent since acquisition).
More MLOs correlates to more funded loans: Comparing the two portals over the past year, Zillow has more than doubled its loan origination volume, while Redfin’s has slightly declined.
  • Redfin’s mortgage business is still larger than Zillow’s, but unlike Zillow, it’s not growing.
The bottom line: My latest podcast guest, Greg Schwartz, CEO of Tomo and former president at Zillow, summed up the situation well: “Growth is in our control.”   The Real Estate Innovation Hub accelerates thinking and connection among top real estate leaders.

Interest rates, along with the distraction of a three-day weekend, further slowed the mortgage market last week. Tho Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reports that its Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 5.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier and 16.0 percent compared with the previous week. The results include an adjustment for the Memorial Day holiday. The Refinance Index decreased 7.0 percent and was 5.0 percent higher than the same week one year ago. The refinance share of mortgage activity decreased to 31.1 percent of total applications from 31.3 percent the previous week. [refiappschart] The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 4.0 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index was also down 16.0 percent compared with the previous week and 13.0 percent lower than the same week one year ago.+ [purchaseappschart] “Mortgage rates moved slightly higher last week, with the 30-year conforming rate reaching 7.07 percent – its highest level since early May – despite incoming data indicating somewhat slower economic growth,” said Mike Fratantoni, MBA’s SVP and Chief Economist. “After adjusting for the Memorial Day holiday, both purchase and refinance application volumes were down, with purchase activity specifically 13 percent below last year’s level.” Added Fratantoni, “Government purchase volume was down less, helped by growth in VA applications. The market is relying on first-time homebuyer demand, and many first-time buyers do use government lending programs.”
