NAR: Pending Home Sales Unchanged in April; Down 20.3% Year-over-year
Pending home sales recorded no change in April, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Three U.S. regions posted monthly gains, while the Northeast decreased. All four regions saw year-over-year declines in transactions. The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI)* – a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings – remained at 78.9 in April, posting no change from the previous month. Year over year, pending transactions dropped by 20.3%. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. "Not all buying interests are being completed due to limited inventory," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "Affordability challenges certainly remain and continue to hold back contract signings, but a sizeable increase in housing inventory will be critical to get more Americans moving." ''
…
The Northeast PHSI dropped 11.3% from last month to 59.1, a decrease of 21.8% from April 2022. The Midwest index improved 3.6% to 78.4 in April, down 21.4% from one year ago.
The South PHSI increased 0.1% to 99.6 in April, sinking 16.7% from the prior year. The West index augmented 4.7% in April to 62.2, sliding 26.0% from April 2022.
This is way below expectations of a 0.5% increase for this index. Note: Contract signings usually lead sales by about 45 to 60 days, so this would usually be for closed sales in May and June.

certainly could have-that is in relation to USAF hours not civil
we already had currency based on Gold
can't be just that any longer as the CB's own most of it and it's dug up from the ground and essentially put right back in it (vaults)
That is how they transact as the Treasury markets are just an over-papered cover for that settlement.
It has to be a basket of real assets that are not dependent on any futures trading and not compared to other currencies.
The only reason the dollar has value is it is measured against 6 other piles of shit
^^
>We bombed it into value
well that too
kek
it should have said "value left"
Breton-Woods established to prevent future competitive devaluations so it was pretty much over at that point
cross them up too and agree
The big difference is Stone is hard into Commercial (REITS) where Rock is more residential-but they both dabble on both sides
aye that is the rubber meeting the road
You know
Had an Indysmack loan and saw all that coming-knew what they were doing (bifurcation of title and loan) and I actually have an FOIA doc from the FED saying "yep we did that"
A few weeks later a fren requested same upon seeing what I got and tried it but shut down "go to DB and talk to them" DB said talk to FEDS.
They even sent a letter saying "how much do you want to pay for it?"
So at some point I hope it's useful but I don't live in taht house now
that is unfortunate… the legal system useless in that regard.
And people wonder why the housing inventories are so "low"
Pulled the trust at the time and mine was in it 48x and there was another at something like 130 and none of the "professionals" i.e lawyers knew anything so the payments put in escrow (all done with docs and notarized etc) then challenged them on it "where is this money really going since you essentially own nothing and I'm paying on that?"
They never acknowledged it ever and just played the "you are late" game so I stopped.
Was not gonna win in any court (even though some did get a judgement much later)
All settled with the State AG's, cough kneepads, and then she got rewarded by being made a senator
bingo
rehypothecated is the correct term when done over and over like that.
Now when the collateral grabs come that is what you'll see everyone claiming ownership long lines etc
All the metals ETFs like that for example so many claims
completely agree
Once they made homes "investments" it was inevitable
It's not an ATM machine imo and never should have been.
