A 🧵as I've seen a few posts lately about War and home prices. Which I find unhealthy. So here's a PSA about home prices and our fellow Americans.
1/7 The GFC literally occurred while the US was at war. 2007-2011 saw the heaviest US casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. Image 2/7 Home prices and real estate crashed in 1990 While the US was engaged in the Gulf War in Kuwait. And didn't recover until postwar. US non combatant casualties were greater than combatant casualties.

Image When we remove the newly created "due to national emergency category", we've actually set a new record for "New 90+ day delinquencies". (guess why that category existed?) 2/6 Image

I'm a firm believer that life is very much about perspective. A 🧵 about photography, despite the charts about housing, interest rates and treasuries. 1/5 Image Perspective involves field of view, depth of view, angle of view, proper exposure to the available light, focal length, focal point, speed of process, framing, & right place at the right time. When you practice anything enough, you start to see patterns in the artwork. 2/5 Image

Ok, a 🧵on the settlement. But let's cover some basics. To do so, let's start at the beginning: This is what the MLS Used to be. It's important to understand this. Because back in the day, a buyer broker usually had these and helped people find a property. 1/13
Image Yes you could buy them, but it was also expensive to participate just for one transaction. Hence hiring a buyer's rep. (one of many). You could definitely negotiate what you paid for the service, but like all services, it wasn't free. 2/13

A quick 🧵 on DR Horton earnings, and where we're at in the homebuilding cycle. A highlight from the article here 1st. An incentive is subsidized demand, and it's eating at profits. Read on for more 👇

With today's new residential sales data being released, I thought I'd do a 🧵 breaking down some key details. You might have seen a version of this over at @MacroEdgeRes . That's because @DonMiami3 makes charts prettier than I do. @GRomePow @m3_melody @NipseyHoussle this is 4U Image The previous chart shows homebuilding cycles from start to finish. Why does that matter? Cycles expand and contract. The contraction can be rough. Here's a look at the peak to trough of building cycles. This cycle has turned and is in contraction. Image
