Next month I list a rental unit at a 6.5% REDUCTION from the price I got in 2022. Rents are coming down.

6.5% down on rent or home price?

Were you at market rates?

I struggle with larger houses but don’t with smaller houses/ lower rents.

I agree there is still too much liquidity in the system thats propping up prices, BUT, almost a day doesnt go by that there isnt a bankruptcy (Anthony's Pizza/Burger Fi just went under) or layoffs (Microsoft and Moderna just today). So my best guess is we go down, possibly sharply, but will rebound because of the liquidity.

I am not in condos but I am in multiple PE funds and my rental residential is doing great on the revenue side (rents/occupancy still strong) but they have been pressured on rates, insurance and property taxes, which have all finally started to come down. Whats most attractive now IMO is private real estate credit, since a lot of banks are unable/unwilling to lend.

Deloitte and PwC too.
 
Unemployment getting too high will cause a recession, stock market decline, real estate decline... IMO, the FED has to cut well before we get to 2% inflation. The rich will get richer because they can handle the slowdown by getting cheaper rates.

The FED can get aggressive with cuts but those have a 12-24month lag effect. Congress could provide more fiscal stimulus or use more existing stimulus on the books.

Fellow CISers. Lowest mortgage rates today since Feb 2023. Would you lock or wait for the fed next week?

In the environment we were in during COVID, they didnt make much sense. With rates higher now, usage growing, etc., they make more sense.
 

Consumer sentiment rises for second consecutive month​

US consumers sentiment improved for the second straight month, reaching levels last seen in May and rising about 2% higher than last month's reading.

@mr.h Hyman is one of the most respected economists, so you have to pay attention to his calls. Not sure I agree, but it bears keeping an open mind.

Ed's reasons are in the article below, as I mentioned earlier I am still bearish and will continue to be, but I will be more open minded to go growth over value/defensive.
