Ugly housing statistics so far this July.
Mortgage applications down 41% from same period in 2019.
Pending sales in June fell YoY, 2nd worst June reading ever.
Google searches for houses are falling.
All this is combining to make 2026 one of the worst summer housing markets in recent memory.
Reventure's demand index is now back down to an 8/100 (which is near the lowest level ever, worse than 2008).
Sales volumes will drop in future months, and I wouldn't be surprised if existing sales counts drop below 4.0 million annualized.
Silver lining: if you are buyer with intent, the next several months will have lots of discounts, especially in the South and West.

1) Let's start with today's NAR Pending Sales report, measuring contract signings for June 2026.
This came in at a 72.5 index level.
Which is down slightly YoY, and down 5.4% MoM.
This was the 2nd worst contract signings readings for the month of June on record.
with 2024 being the only worse year.

2) This report on contract signings is slightly backward looking, as it measured what took place in June, and influences what the closings will look like in July.
However, we can also look into weekly Mortgage Applications to get a more real-time view of the market, and these figures look even worse.

The scariest ayah in the Qur'an isn't about Jahannam.
It's about a man who did everything right and lost it all because of one thing.

Allah says:
"And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed." (25:23)
These are people who:
- fed the poor
- were kind to others
- did good in the world
But their deeds became scattered dust.
Why?

Why?
Because they did it all
without Allah.
Without sincerity.
Without connection.
Without Him being the reason.

the nullification of deeds.

Then I did what many people do...
❌ Uninstalled Microsoft Edge.
A few seconds later, I realized something hilarious:
I didn't have any other browser installed.

No Chrome.
No Firefox.
No Brave.
Just me and my very questionable decision-making skills.

1/ Who is the “key enabler” of Russia’s war in Ukraine?
2/ According to the EU’s chief diplomat @kajakallas: China. As she put it in a Q&A last year: “China is the key enabler of Russia's war.”

3/ The question she failed to address is: who is the “key enabler” of Ukraine’s war with Russia? Who is the key supplier of the critical parts for Ukraine’s drones that Zelensky now hails as Ukraine’s best hope for peace?
“Science is about evidence, not faith.”
Or so we’ve been told by atheists and naturalists for the last century.
Here’s the truth:
Every scientific investigation rests on philosophical assumption that science itself can’t establish.

1. An external world exists.
Science assumes there’s a real world outside of our minds to investigate.
But no experiment can prove that you’re not dreaming or living in a simulation. Science has to assume an external reality is real before it can study it.

2. Our senses are generally reliable.
Every scientific observation depends on sight, hearing, touch, and instruments interpreted through our senses.
But you can’t use the senses to prove the senses are trustworthy without reasoning in a circle.

Ukrainians are defending not merely Fedorov personally but, more importantly, what he represents.
He has become a symbol of a new Ukraine, one built on rules, accountability, and merit rather than the old bureaucratic system of backroom deals and informal patronage. 1/10

Throughout the full scale invasion, Ukrainians have generally avoided mass protests, recognizing that national unity is the vital element for national resistance during the wartime. 2/10
Despite widespread frustrations over many issues, society has largely accepted that internal cohesion is essential while fighting an existential war. 3/10
There's lots of great music out there. It's a good thing to explore. But eventually we always come back to the great ones, the few selected ones, the best of the best.

Kuleba: Something personal broke between Zelenskyy and Fedorov.
Zelenskyy likely learned something that hit him personally and stopped trusting him. Yermak pressured Fedorov, but Fedorov had always been indispensable.

Kuleba: I see no parallel with last year. Back then, I saw an attack on NABU, an independent instution.
Today, I see an attack on a strong manager and rising politician whose ties with Zelenskyy broke. Once that trust breaks, he cannot run defense or help the system.

JTwitter Does Not Understand JD Vance.
Yesterday, Vance went on the most important podcast in the world and defended Israel for two hours.
Immediately afterward, JTwitter united with the Groypers to attack the VP.
Why does JTwitter agree with antisemites about Vance?

The simple answer: they didn't do the reading.
Some admit they didn't watch the interview, only misleading excerpts.
If this is you, admit it: you have an illegitimate opinion.
You are projecting on to Vance things he never said for your own reasons.

If you get your Vance news from "no longer defending Israel" Tim & Sarah at the Bulwark, you're a tool.
Watching this repugnant twisting of words which takes Vance out of context and makes him say the opposite of his intent is repulsive:

I've seen some American politicians threatening Canada to get their act together to stop wildfires. The Arctic amplification is heating the north 2-4X faster than the rest of the planet. The Boreal forests are burning.
They're so vast that any suggestion of better forest management is meaningless. Russia just lets their boreal forests burn. This is climate change resulting from fools who refused to act on 50 years of climate science that always told us that we must stop burning hydrocarbons.
These same people are now telling you to adapt to it.
