Best of luck if we don’t chat again.
Give Crystal City and Pentagon City to Amazon.

I've never understood why Amazon wants to be that close to town.
The White House budget proposal projected that the 10-year yield would average 4.4% in 2024, up from its year-ago projection for 2024 of 3.6%, and up from the average in the decade before the pandemic of 2.4%.
And it projected the 10-year yield to average 4% in 2025 and to 3.7% in 2029!
The budget proposal also projects that the 3-month yield will average 5.1% in 2024 (it’s at 5.48% today). A year ago, the White House projected that it would average 3.8% in 2024.
And that 5.1% projection might have come out even higher if Lael Brainard, director of the National Economic Council, hadn’t intervened, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
In other words, given the new reality of inflation, both short and long-term yield projections got ratcheted upward substantially over the past year.
The reason I asked because someone else is also quite vocal on this forum, but said he’s an introvert in real life. I just want to see if there’s a pattern. That’s all.
I’ve noticed it too. The sentiment/energy on this forum has been quite negative. I intentionally share posts to provoke people view things from a different angle/POV. It hasn’t been working….Sigh.

Dude, he started this thread to make his point.
You can start your own thread to make your point.
Or you can be (Bay-Area) Smug & Snarkey ("Smarkey") on the thread he started to try to belittle him.
Pasco County commissioners have found a new reason to dislike the state’s Live Local law, which was passed last year to boost the amount of affordable housing in Florida with tax breaks and other incentives.
Not only can developers put apartments on land earmarked for industry and get a big property tax break, owners of existing apartment complexes can qualify as well. While the law was sold as a solution to Florida’s housing affordability crisis, apartment owners can claim tax rebates even if they don’t offer particularly low rents.
Already, the owners of two Pasco apartment complexes have applied for the tax breaks. State records show dozens more around the state are seeking to qualify for the program, which provides a windfall for corporate property owners who have done nothing to add to the affordable housing stock.
FL State wastes hundreds of million in "Live Local Law" in tax breaks

Looks like the real estate commission model just changed.

Now the buyer pays for services the "Buyer's Agent" performs. The seller doesn't pay that anymore.

The buyer has always paid ALL the commission and still will. They have the money to purchase. This has been a massive misnomer with RE. No one gets paid without a buyer. Commissions, attorneys, lenders, inspectors, listing agents, etc.
More sellers desperate in Florida…

I'm in Florida and the post above about "a problem" and "boomers dying" is incorrect.
The boomers are a gigantic demographic and they aren't dead yet.
The boomers with money are still flooding into Florida.
Florida and Arizona are going to take a slight hit. Not a crash, but the next 10-20 years as they die off is going to move housing in those areas.

Florida has a boomers starting to die problem. Probably not enough from the north coming in any more to suck up inventory. Retirement regions could take a hit.
This here is proof positive of two things:
1) Fed told Team Biden to not count on a rate cut...or any 'rate cut' beyond mere tokenism.
2) The Bidenites are fucking desperate for sure.

For every 1% increase in the 30 yr mortgage rate, there should be a 10% drop in home prices.

I presume you mean that for every 1% increase in the 30 yr mortgage rate, there should be a 10% drop in price to maintain the same monthly payment. If inflation and other factors keep the house prices elevated despite the rate increases, then people will continue to rent, settle for smaller houses, or double up.

Bond manager Mark Kiesel sold his California home in 2006, when he presciently predicted the housing bubble would pop. He bought again in 2012, after U.S. prices fell more than 30% and found a floor.
Now, after a record surge in prices, Kiesel says the time to sell is once again at hand.
