Inflation Adjusted House Prices 1.5% Below 2022 Peak; Price-to-rent index is 7.8% below 2022 peak
about 2 months ago by Calculated Risk @ Calculated Risk

Today, in the Calculated Risk Real Estate Newsletter: Inflation Adjusted House Prices 1.5% Below 2022 Peak Excerpt: It has been over 18 years since the bubble peak. In the July Case-Shiller house price index on Tuesday, the seasonally adjusted National Index (SA), was reported as being 74% above the bubble peak in 2006. However, in real terms, the National index (SA) is about 11% above the bubble peak (and historically there has been an upward slope to real house prices).  The composite 20, in real terms, is 2% above the bubble peak. People usually graph nominal house prices, but it is also important to look at prices in real terms.  As an example, if a house price was $300,000 in January 2010, the price would be $432,000 today adjusted for inflation (44% increase).  That...

An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. “A slight upward turn reflects a modest improvement in housing affordability, primarily because mortgage rates descended to 6.5% in August,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “However, contract signings remain near cyclical lows even as home prices...

about 2 months ago by noreply@blogger.com (Declan Fallon) @ Fallond Picks

The Russell 2000 had created a resistance break in the move back to the July spike high, but today's loss ended that, opening up the possibility for a double top. Confirmation won't come until there is a loss of $205, and technicals are net bullish. There is also price support in the nearby 20-day and 50-day MAs. <img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EBal2B0n2IIIgUYOXNHhUHKhZKvE1Y9dHWMSRdzWKapQYMM34ARFbPKDlBN00Od8ZJU1M14ouHHXUUIhTxMlSpI6bBCRpUhIlkmn-VvMCzaPbgMtW84vnFaRKKwgjwEM-Bvr83aUZGduqiuny5yXLJKWY...

Treasury Bonds Update: What’s Next For TLT?
about 2 months ago by Michele Schneider @ See It Market

Instead of falling after the Fed lowered rates, the 10-year and 20+ year yields have risen.  This seems incongruous given the dovish Fed talk. However, a lot of the cuts were baked into the bonds ahead of the announcement. How many times have we traders seen a “sell the event” situation? However, what matters more […] The post Treasury Bonds Update: What’s Next For TLT? appeared first on See It Market.
