Zillow’s newest housing market forecast reveals a decline in residence costs over the following yr after a really sluggish spring homebuying season. Whereas spring is historically the most well liked time of the housing market, with extra sellers and consumers hitting the market without delay, this yr was stunted considerably. Will this pattern proceed as housing stock stays at rock-bottom ranges, or are issues regularly bettering, with a return to normalcy in sight? We’ve acquired Dr. Skylar Olsen, Chief Economist at Zillow, on to share the newest forecast and which markets might be in hassle.
With mortgage charges nonetheless hovering round seven %, homebuyers and sellers are caught. Sellers don’t need to commerce right into a dearer mortgage cost, and consumers can’t afford as we speak’s median residence value. Because of this, some under-the-radar, reasonably priced actual property markets are seeing residence and lease costs enhance, whereas some historically scorching markets are already seeing value corrections.
The place will the following correction hit, and which markets can have essentially the most alternative for actual property traders? Skylar explains all of it, plus why Zillow up to date their current residence value forecast to point out a DROP in residence values over the following yr.
Dave:
The spring shopping for season is a brilliant essential time for your complete actual property trade, however during the last couple of years it hasn’t been as scorching because it usually was. So what truly occurred this yr? Was it as scorching as economists predicted? What did stock and residential value progress even appear like and the way will that change over the remainder of the yr? At the moment we’ve a market replace episode for you.

And lastly, we’ll after all pull out our crystal ball as we do with a lot of the economists and focus on what we expect will occur for the remainder of the yr and into 2025. Let’s convey on Dr. Skylar Olsen.
Skylar, welcome to the BiggerPockets Podcast Community. Thanks for becoming a member of us.
Skylar:
Nicely, thanks a lot for having me. We’re
Dave:
First going to begin by speaking concerning the spring shopping for season. Are you able to simply give us some context? What’s the spring shopping for season within the first place?
Skylar:
Yeah, actually shopping for season ramps up within the very early spring. We first begin to see present homeowners put listings onto the market in January and February. It begins constructing out of that vacation season, however it hits the crescendo pre pandemic at round April and Might as of late a bit bit later. Really extra like April or excuse me, could and June is after we get essentially the most listings from present homeowners of the course of that season. So we’re type of cussing and shifting in direction of the slowdown at this very second, however we truly see further slowdown now as a result of mortgage charges are up type of close to 7% and that places an actual cooling impact on that purchaser.
Dave:
And what affect does this busy spring shopping for season have on the general housing market in regular occasions, like again earlier than the pandemic?
Skylar:
So let me provide you with type of a ballpark quantity. If we’re pondering nationally within the month of Might pandemic, we used to see over 1,000,000 houses drop into the market from present homeowners. Okay. This can be a time frame the place rates of interest went from 3% as much as 7%. So we’ve acquired a variety of present homeowners wanting to carry onto these low charges. So this, we solely noticed a bit over 400,000 ever since mortgage charges have surged up, that present proprietor has pulled again. Now Might is the crescendo month the place we see essentially the most listings come on-line. So subsequent month we truly count on to see about 90,000 much less, after which it type of cascades into the yr we see the fewest listings come on in November and December. These are the vacations we’ve wrapped up. We’re accomplished. House purchasing season can be through the summer time as a result of that’s once you need to be shifting.
You don’t need to be carrying your containers through the snow and through the rain. And after we undergo a house purchasing season, you higher consider the housing economists on the market and actually, brokers and any housing skilled mortgage officers are watching it very carefully, particularly as of late to see whether or not or not this exercise goes to begin coming again. As a result of as I discussed, we’re down from what was regular. We’re about 23% down from what was regular, however that’s truly approach higher than at its worst after we had been round 36% down nationally. In order that’s an enchancment and it’s steadily slowly bettering from right here
Dave:
And 36% down, that’s from its peak within the pandemic or down from what
Skylar:
In April of final yr, we had 36% fewer houses from present homeowners than in April pre pandemic. Acquired it. So like a typical April of 2018 and 2019, which was our final regular housing market, as a result of proper earlier than the pre pandemic we had been about to name it by way of the restoration from the final housing cycle, which was a protracted and a really huge one. So 2018 to 2019 pretty regular. After which now since mortgage charges have surged up, we’re down 23%, however again final yr we had been down 36%. So to be solely down 23 is the advance. After which what we’re ready for is that to return all the best way again as much as simply zero, proper again to regular, and that’s regular and sluggish. We’re up lots from final yr. That’s most likely a approach that you simply hear that reported actually typically. In order that type of quantity is like, oh, we’re 13% extra new listings from present homeowners than final yr.
However as I simply talked about, final yr was our lowest yr by way of that rate of interest lock-in by way of that proprietor actually simply feeling prefer it wasn’t the time to surrender that price. It’s getting a bit higher now as a result of a time passes. These present homeowners had issues occur of their lives. They acquired divorced, that they had youngsters, their youngsters grew to become youngsters and began combating over the lavatory sink. All kinds of issues that occur in your life that make you need that subsequent residence and make that low rate of interest simply much less and fewer value it. And in order time goes on, we get much less locked in from that rate of interest. And so we’re beginning to see extra new listings come on-line. The issue is rates of interest stay close to 7% and leap round lots, and that purchaser is actually struggling to maneuver ahead. It’s actually exhausting to afford a home that’s 7% rate of interest, and so costs are tender. Our forecast is that costs will come down very mildly, truly. It’s only a tender down 1.4%, however that’ll nonetheless give the customer a little bit of a respiration room. Properties are spending a bit bit extra time in the marketplace, a bit bit extra value cuts, however finally we’re nonetheless tight on stock, however issues are getting a bit higher, however we’re nonetheless tight on stock.
Dave:
Yeah. So do you suppose that the common residence purchaser, the common investor, will really feel that enhance in stock yr over yr by way of competitors or negotiating leverage once they’re making an attempt to purchase a house?
Skylar:
Should you had been collaborating final yr and also you had been lively, yeah, you’ll really feel it as a result of relative to that time frame, issues I believe actually will really feel like they’re loosening up. Nationally, your houses are spending three days longer in the marketplace than they had been final yr. Which may not appear to be lots, however we had been at solely 10 days. So three extra days from 10, that’s comparatively talking, a bit extra respiration room there from final yr. In order that further stock shall be felt by somebody who has been collaborating. Let’s say we’re out there through the warmth, warmth, warmth of the pandemic when rates of interest had been actually low, looking for your alternative, however competitors was very fierce. Oh, it’ll really feel approach higher than that. Completely. That was actually a coal down from that one. However if you happen to had been purchasing, say pre pandemic, and then you definately acquired nervous by simply all of it, proper? Pandemic affordable time frame to be unsure although usually that’s what when traders simply are actually essential a part of the market, they’ll take part when issues are dangerous and then you definately clean out the market and it finally ends up not being as unstable. In order that’s usually what economists suppose the position of the investor is after we undergo one thing loopy just like the pandemic. However if you happen to had been a mother and pop landlord and also you’ve been sitting it out and also you haven’t been within the housing market since pre pandemic, it is going to truly really feel scorching.
Dave:
What you’re sharing right here is that their stock goes up largely as a result of life occasions, however we’re nonetheless very low by way of complete stock in a historic context, do you suppose that stock goes to proceed to pattern upward?
Skylar:
Yeah. Yeah, I believe I do. Particularly if the mortgage charges stay elevated, persons are anticipating it to return down, however let’s simply keep within the close to future as a result of that has been pushed off extra to the top of the yr by way of when the Fed may give us a break. So let’s simply say mortgage charges keep round this time period, the customer continues to be hesitant as a result of that’s an affordability problem and time goes on for that vendor. The vendor is also watching, we’ve been saying that mortgage charges would come down for some time and but they haven’t. In order that helps additionally shake the vendor expectation that charges will come down in order that vendor begins to return stock. Slackens, proper, begins to return. That pool of obtainable houses will increase in order that when the customer reveals up, there’s extra to see. I believe houses will spend a bit bit extra time in the marketplace and issues will ease.
And if we’re in that holding sample right here, that may be a regular and sluggish path to a more healthy and extra secure housing marketplace for positive into that close to future. Now, I believe that’s a good evaluation for the following few months as a result of usually after we head into an election, lots of people cease making main selections. So it’s this holding sample and regular return. Mortgage charges most likely gained’t do something loopy earlier than then, however the election throws its personal type of wrench and stability it doesn’t matter what yr, it doesn’t matter what election. And we’ve acquired a variety of elections throughout the board developing. We will hardly crystal ball it, however there are situations the place we get a price minimize on the finish of the yr by the Fed. The market thinks we’ll get two price cuts from the Fed. The Fed says one price minimize, the Federal Reserve operates financial coverage.
So once they minimize their coverage price, the Fed funds price, that may trickle by means of to mortgage charges in order that mortgage charges come down. That’s what we’re anticipating. Nevertheless it’s additionally potential too that we’d not get that. In order that’s the extra holding sample aspect the place we’re simply on this for longer. However let’s say we get that price minimize, mortgage charges might come down, that I believe would assist the vendor return as properly. So then I believe we’d see new listings from present homeowners enhance even quicker. The talk turns into does the customer return with the identical alacrity or with the identical gusto?
Dave:
So that you suppose that the talk is extra on the customer aspect than the vendor aspect? It appears to me like if charges went down, after all there’d be extra demand. The query to me is that if there’s going to be extra provide,
Skylar:
Nicely, no, no. Nicely, I imply the relative dimension of it, I believe the talk is what occurs to costs, proper? As a result of if provide begins, I believe the availability might positively return. There’ll be fewer homeowners locked in when that price comes down. I believe there are loads. I say time goes on, however they nonetheless have an incentive to carry. In order that price comes down, that incentive modifications as properly. So each issues begin serving to the vendor comeback. The talk I believe, is who’s stronger, whose return is stronger? As a result of if the customer, there are a variety of them too. There’s a large era of millennials who need to grow to be the primary time residence purchaser. If when mortgage charges fall, they return with a variety of curiosity, then stock, which is the pool of houses obtainable at anyone time that displays are costs rising or not. If the customer comes again with the identical velocity as the vendor comes again, that stock can stay low as a result of the customer drains it simply as quick as we will refill that pool after which meaning costs don’t fall, proper? So it’s exhausting to think about a scenario the place costs appropriate in a short time with out getting a variety of financial stress with out the R phrase recession. So and not using a recession, it’s exhausting to think about that costs within the housing market will fall as a result of this purchaser and vendor return with the mortgage price. And in order that’s what I imply by debate is like, properly, costs might stay relying on who’s stronger of their return, proper? Yeah, there’s lots ready.
Dave:
Alright, so we’ve to take a fast break, however we’ll be proper again with extra of Skylar Olsen’s market insights proper after this. Welcome again traders. Let’s leap again into our market replace with Dr. Skylar Olsen. Nicely, I noticed not too long ago that Zillow up to date its forecast to now be projecting a 1% decline in housing costs from Might, 2024 to 2025. Are you able to inform us a bit bit about what went into that change in your forecast?
Skylar:
So our forecast has two parts to it. There’s momentum. So what are we seeing in all of our time sequence that assist us predict the long run? So that may be issues like watching the brand new listings return after which we’re modeling that ahead new listings returning quicker than we see gross sales return. That stock will increase. These are momentum close to time period time sequence that we type of relate to that value progress after which that helps flip that down. Different issues that circulation in that approach are issues like suppose share of listings with the value minimize, suppose the variety of clicks from individuals on the location. So a purchaser say purchasing on zillow.com relative to the variety of listings that we, in order that’s a requirement metric that flows into the forecast. All that’s momentum and the way that ought to circulation in by means of what costs do. After which there’s this different aspect which is extra structural.
So we additionally forecast out and mannequin, say mortgage charges and inhabitants progress, which is an enormous aspect. That’s the basic demand in housing after which additionally unemployment and people extra R phrase numbers and all these circulation by means of the issues that actually push that forecast down was the return in stock. So by way of that pool of houses obtainable relative to final yr, that’s up 22%, proper? So stock appears prefer it’s returning lots relative to that very, very low base relative to say regular occasions after we simply had a lot extra stock. Basically, it’s nonetheless recovering pretty slowly, however relative to final yr, anybody who was purchasing final yr, it’ll begin to really feel way more sluggish and that impacts that value progress. After which additionally share of listings with a value minimize may be very elevated proper now. And it has been elevated for, I’d say the previous three months, do that on a regular basis. They bounce round, they got here right down to round six and a half they usually went again as much as seven and above seven. Ever since that second we’ve seen share of listings with a value minimize simply stay elevated as properly.
Dave:
And that’s only for this one yr. I believe, appropriate me if I’m unsuitable, however from what I’ve seen from zi, you challenge one yr out. Yeah. Is that form of the extent of the correction you see 1% over one yr or what occurs after Might of 2025?
Skylar:
Oh no. Fascinating. Yeah, truly internally and I believe publicly we’d be completely happy to launch it as properly. We challenge out two years with this sort of modeling, this momentum plus a bit bit extra construction. However fortunately, it actually relies on who you might be as a result of if I’m a primary time residence purchaser, I most likely don’t need to hear, oh yeah, no, after this yr we count on it to type of return to flat and reasonable progress. However if you happen to’re an present proprietor and hoping that you simply’re at your high of fairness additionally what’s occurring right here? We’ve got enormous quantities of fairness that sellers, or excuse me, can be sellers are holding onto. These homeowners are holding onto a variety of alternative, a variety of wealth that was created there. That’s, I believe, I don’t need to say secure, however it is vitally exhausting to get a forecast extra unfavorable than what we’re seeing proper now.
Acquired it. We additionally modeled situations, make it actually a horrible macro atmosphere. That’s why we’ve these two separate concepts. There’s momentum from the entire issues that ought to affect costs, like provide and alerts from agent pricing and pending all that. After which additionally that structural. So the structural stuff the place we are saying what’s going to mortgage charges do? What’s going to unemployment do? What’s going to inhabitants progress do this? To make use of that, we will calibrate it. We will say, properly, we’ve a baseline, however what if it goes as a result of very exhausting to forecast mortgages. What if it goes unsuitable? And even when we put mortgage charges, you must put ’em actually excessive as much as 8% or 9% to get that forecast to be considerably unfavorable.
Dave:
And is that true even with the labor market? A query I get rather a lot is how if the Fed will get form of what does needs with the softer labor market, are we going to see a decline in demand and subsequent softness in housing costs?
Skylar:
Yeah, I imply we might actually, we might particularly since you’d begin to see it regionally and even now we see tender costs regionally. For instance, Zillow not too long ago launched our market warmth index, which captures a number of the metrics that I talked about that went into our forecast share of listings with the value minimize, the variety of customers, consumers clicking on houses relative to the houses which might be obtainable and the share of houses that promote actually quick. So these three issues seize this market warmth, whether or not or not consumers or sellers have the sting in a market, we name it the market warmth index, proper? Okay. So there are very restricted locations that we’re keen to say our purchaser’s markets nationally continues to be a vendor’s market relative to its historical past and this expertise on these metrics. However if you happen to go to Florida, there are many purchaser’s markets down in Florida, Memphis, Tennessee went most likely too scorching over the course of the pandemic is now’s cooling off rather a lot.
New Orleans has struggled all through the pandemic and stays very tender. And now you’re beginning to see very southern Texas grow to be a purchaser’s market as properly. So there are these pockets, let’s say we go into recession that can have nationwide numbers with increased unemployment charges and we’ll all speak about that being a priority. However there shall be metros which have a lot increased unemployment charges, proper? As a result of completely different industries shall be impacted extra. And so that can occur by the best way, by way of the place else are costs nonetheless falling? So possibly there’s a chance must you need to leap in now and anticipate a return. Take into consideration downtown. So these downtown areas, if I take a look at a zipper code map of just about any, not each however virtually any main metropolitan space within the US residence costs have been falling and proceed to fall in these type of central cores. And you can also make a wager that that liveliness in these areas will return actual property, bear in mind is a long term funding. So for any of people who individuals who do nonetheless like that furthermore life-style, which there are many us, proper? There’s alternatives there. I
Dave:
Wish to simply make clear that even these markets that Skylar’s speaking about which might be experiencing some corrections, possibly New Orleans with an exception, is that a variety of them had been nonetheless approach above pre pandemic ranges like approach above and are coming down very modestly simply off of their pandemic highs. And so for the overwhelming majority of people that purchased even in form of in direction of the highest are most likely doing fantastic by way of fairness. And clearly on a nationwide stage, even a 1% correction may be very modest. Sure. We’ve got yet another closing break, however extra from Zillow, Skylar Olsen, after we return. Welcome again to the present. Let’s decide again up the place we left off Skylar. You talked about a few markets that might doubtlessly see a number of the largest corrections and softness. What concerning the different aspect of the equation? What are a number of the hottest markets that you simply’re seeing?
Skylar:
Yeah, hottest markets are positively Midwestern. And there you’ve acquired to suppose is about affordability by way of the entry to changing into a home-owner. They’ve acquired lots of people nonetheless keen to maneuver to entry that choice. Then you’ve gotten the extra relative affordability concept. So northeast, however suppose markets which might be round or between very costly markets. So your Hartford, Connecticut and your Windfall, Rhode Island are smack dab in between Boston and New York. Now, I don’t need to suggest both that Boston and New York are, we nonetheless see optimistic residence value progress in these areas as properly as a result of we don’t have the listings from present homeowners. There’s a variety of pullback there. So in that very same approach, the costly West coast, we don’t see unfavorable value appreciation there but both as a result of that present proprietor simply holds so northeast and west. Assume if costly there we’re seeing constant residence value progress as present homeowners maintain on. After which in areas just like the Midwest, I believe there simply is a lot demand as a result of the chance stays.
Dave:
Yeah, I believe that’s according to every part that we’re seeing and speaking about right here on the present as properly is that affordability actually stays one of many key elements in purchaser demand. And I’m questioning, Skylar, we’ve been speaking largely about residence costs, but when these regional patterns additionally maintain true by way of lease.
Skylar:
Sure, sure, they positively do although it’s a little bit nuanced. So right here Zillow produces the Zillow’s observe lease index. So we’re trying on the change in particular person listings after we produce this index. So it’s a extremely superior instrument to consider the rental market. And let’s say I exploit this instrument Zillow’s lease index, and I break it down by multifamily, so residences and single household. And right here I’m going to have very completely different dynamics occurring as a result of over the course of the pandemic and really not too long ago we’ve been in a position to produce a variety of residences, however they’ve solely grow to be obtainable during the last quarter say in a approach that’s simply actually report setting relative to the years earlier than. And all that further new provide on the house aspect has made it in order that whereas rents usually are not falling, they’re very tender and softer than pre pandemic.
Now if I’m fascinated with single household rents, so suppose your suburban houses and for our definition, it contains those which might be connected. So embrace your townhomes in your image of your thoughts. Single household rents proceed to develop at pre pandemic ranges. So softer than the growth when everybody was shifting due to distant work and every part. However at pre pandemic, if not quicker relying on the place we’re. Like a number of the locations we talked about, significantly within the Midwest, proper, the place lease progress within the single household residence continues to be very excessive. Now take into consideration why you’ve acquired lots of people that transfer into this space, possibly even to grow to be householders, however but they lease first after which they’ve this barrier to proudly owning, to shifting on due to the excessive mortgage price pre pandemic. Should you wished to grow to be a brand new house owner and also you had the down cost and possibly it took you some time to avoid wasting for it to grow to be a brand new residence or mortgage charges had been simply such that you’d most likely save radically relative to renting as of late it’s actually extra of a wash if you happen to’re taking a look at renting a single household residence of a high quality in a pleasant neighborhood, that type of factor.
And so if you happen to can’t transfer on to on the market, however you continue to need that life-style as a result of say you’re 35, you’ve gotten youngsters, you count on that out of your life, then you definately’ll transfer on to lease it. So that you get that further competitors on that aspect as properly. So single household leases are doing very properly, significantly within the locations the place residence costs are additionally rising. Those that we talked about the place I don’t have listings from present homeowners on the west or the Midwest. The Midwest is the place single household lease progress is the strongest. Now, if I need to say the place is house lease progress the strongest, it’s nonetheless in these areas robust ger than different locations. However there are extra pockets the place multifamily house rents can be falling. After which the quickest spot is the northeast that I had talked about the place the windfall, Rhode Island and Hartford, Connecticut, the place the costly rental markets which might be additionally New York is rents rising in New York now once more as properly. And Boston too. It’s simply that pinch between is the place it’s the quickest.
Dave:
Actually, it’s wild. My sister lives in Windfall and she or he moved up homes and rents out her previous one and I believe it’s two bed room, one bathtub. She will get $4,000 a month for it. It’s loopy that far more than a a lot larger home that I personal in Denver, for instance, would lease for which you’d by no means count on. So tremendous, tremendous attention-grabbing. However positively listening to that anecdotally, along with a number of the knowledge that Skyler is sharing with us. So Skyler, you gave some recommendation on what traders must be on the lookout for about downtown areas. Do you’ve gotten some other ideas for our viewers?
Skylar:
Yeah, I imply, I believe generally the tip for the viewers in addition to take a look at the chance as a result of these areas that I discussed usually are not the place issues are tender. They’re actually not anticipating crash residence values ought to return in these locations as a result of they’re simply correcting for lots of the sooner warmth that we had seen. After which after all we’re ready to see what rates of interest do. So except for these downtown, the place are the cool markets the place there are many value cuts? In order that dialog that we’ve already had, I believe being very conscious of the monetary market proper now’s extremely essential as a result of the affect of that mortgage price on the funding potential of shopping for actual property is big. So how do you deal with that? Nicely, mortgage charges are elevated proper now, however there’s nonetheless, when you have this chance shifting ahead, you crunch the numbers and it really works for you.
Nevertheless it’s that edge, proper? You will have instruments now to have the ability to, for instance, store buyability or store by month-to-month cost. So for instance, if I’m on Zillow and we’ve each of those instruments, you may type of store extra for what’s reasonably priced. You get the customized details about what that mortgage price is perhaps as we speak. However then as you proceed to buy, if the mortgage price modifications, the search standards of what you may afford may even change. Which implies if mortgage charges drop instantly there are extra alternatives. And I believe why these sorts of instruments are essential is as a result of consider the flip aspect. So that you’ve crunched your numbers, you’ve found out what works out. I believe after we strategy the housing market, it’s straightforward to additionally get a bit bit an excessive amount of momentum. It’s so irritating. There’s low stock to search out the proper residence, however you actually acquired to ensure you stick with that due diligence. So let’s say mortgage charges swing again up once more, that search standards is then restricted once more. After which Buyability is only a approach to determine that different finish of it, not simply search by that month-to-month cost for what you may afford month-to-month if you happen to’d prefer to then as a substitute seek for what that value level is for you. However that mortgage price is simply very, very impactful to the lease versus purchase equation and the monetary funding aspect of issues. For
Dave:
Certain. That’s nice recommendation. Skylar, earlier than we get out of right here, would you enable me to ask you some speedy fireplace questions on subsequent yr? Yeah,
Skylar:
Certain. Let’s
Dave:
Do it. Certain. Should you needed to guess or predict the quickest rising market by way of residence value appreciation within the subsequent yr, what would you suppose?
Skylar:
Within the subsequent yr? I’m going to go to Cleveland or St. Louis,
Dave:
One thing like that. Okay. I prefer it. Two comparatively reasonably priced cities within the Midwest. Okay, I prefer it. What about lease progress?
Skylar:
Oh, that’s so humorous. So I stated that as a result of that’s the place lease progress is at present the quickest on extra of that house aspect. So I simply translated that into a number one indicator over the following yr. After which after all our additionally forecasts are centered within the Midwest. So lease progress, can I cut up it between multifamily? Sure.
Dave:
Yeah. Nuance is allowed
Skylar:
Single household, I’d say again that very same space. I believe anybody who’s placing their hat on and pondering to themselves, I need to stay in a suburban neighborhood with good faculties and bushes or that basic, I don’t even need to name it the American dream anymore, however it’s a bit too stereotypical. However those who need to go in direction of that, we’re at an enormous generational balloon of those who is perhaps wanting which might be getting into their mid to late thirties as the height of that millennial generations. It actually will bear down on that extra reasonably priced Midwest. And the Midwest additionally appears pretty good for extra of the local weather change parts. Florida’s acquired actually increased and better insurance coverage prices as of late, in order that they’re going to get a bit bit extra challenged. And we’ve additionally been in a position to construct extra in Texas and Florida, so I count on way more softness on each side, residences and single household.
But when I used to be in, we don’t have an official lease forecast, however I’ll go and be enjoyable on this. On the residences, I believe it might swing West Coast by way of quicker lease progress in the identical approach that it’s cluster across the life-style cities on the northeast, the Boston and the New York is type of the place that house vibrancy is trying. And San Francisco has been so tender for thus lengthy. I hope it for them, however possibly I’ll lean extra just like the Seattles is type of the place for that one Northeast. It’s nonetheless going to be huge although. Cash down northeast. A bit upsetting and enjoyable prediction, go west.
Dave:
Okay. And final query right here. The place will rates of interest with the common price on a 30 yr mounted price mortgage? What’s going to it’s one yr from as we speak?
Skylar:
6.6%.
Dave:
