In Washington D.C., active listings have surged a record 25.1% YoY (4 wks ending Apr 27), hitting highest levels since 2022. This is significantly above the national increase of 14.2%. What's driving this? Federal layoffs and economic uncertainty. 1/6 Image New listings in the D.C. metro are also up 11.4% YoY, nearly double the national gain of 5.8%.

One of the weird perks about being an economist is that acquaintances often want to tell me their investment strategies, and then that conversation weirdly turns into a deep dive into that acquaintance's psyche (thread (1/7)) One acquaintance told me he was putting his money into gold bars because he believed the economy would collapse under a Trump presidency.
