June home builder sentiment and survey results are in. Top themes: 1) A lot more new home buyers cancelling. 2) Price cuts becoming fairly common. 3) Drop in demand finally cooling construction cost pressures (builder layoffs also happening). Market commentary to follow…
#Atlanta builder: “Someone turned out the lights on our sales in June!”
#Austin builder: “Sales have fallen off a cliff. We’re selling 1/3 of what we sold in March and April. Trades are more willing to negotiate pricing since market has adjusted significantly past 60 days.”

🔥 Bernie Sanders is LIVE in Des Moines, Iowa 🔥 #BernieInIowa pscp.tv/w/1YqKDyeBYkzGV
.@BernieSanders starts off with a story about how he wasn't sure if he should run for President, and how the support of Des Moines helped him decide to run for President in 2016. By the look of today's crowd, the support is still there!
"The nature of our campaign is not belittling people, it's not opposition research, it's not about attacking people, but it's a serious discussion about the issues facing the American people" @BernieSanders #BernieInIowa #DesMoines
