I have spent the last 2 weeks in NY prepping for our Outlook Conference on Oct 29 by meeting with and listening to clients. The hottest 3 topics are: 1) the intriguing puzzle of why mortgage rates rose after the Fed dropped rates, which we attribute partially to rising inflation expectations over the longer term, 2) the 50-year low in existing home sales last month, which we believe is partially because of the Sitzer-Burnett real estate agent settlement, and 3) the significantly reduced home buying and rental demand in some of the country's formerly hottest markets caused by a big decline in domestic migration. I am really looking forward to our client conference on Tuesday.
