1. The price growth in 2013 was not warranted at all; we simply didn't have the right demographics for housing sales to grow that much, but the market itself cooled pricing down as rates went over 4%, the rate of growth pricing fell.
2. That 1.60% -3% move in the 10-year yield created a noticeable softening in demand, and in 2014, purchase application data trended negative on average 20% year over year. It created a solid bottom for us to work from.
Pricing out a generation of home buyers thesis has been used since 1996 a lot, and home sales rarely go below 4,000,000.
However, even just over 4%, higher rates will cool down the markets just like they did in the past. The same thing happened in 2013/2014 & 2018/2019. Healthy!
The days of saying the Fed needs to aggressively hike rates to create a buying oppurnutiy for stocks from investors who are mostly long is coming to an end. President Trump showed us all the true colors of a lot of conservatives 😉😎 Feel the Market, Baby!
Conservatives saying, look, there is no inflation was hilarious. Why are you hiking? Because Trump was President was classic Fintwit. Just be mindful of this.
