Now why would that be? Are they..............motivated? Sure seems like a lot of folks are getting motivated.

“More than one-third, 33.2%, of landlords offered at least one rent concession in July… The median asking rent prices for apartments in one- to three-bedroom units fell in July, the first time that’s occurred since 2020” H/t: @douglasritz cnbc.com/2024/08/14/her…

Was honored to chat with Sir @cvpayne this afternoon! And, no, gubn’t intervention is not the solution. Build, build they say, but the inventory is there - it’s just mis-priced Prices this round got even more overcooked as gov’t involvement increased foxbusiness.com/video/63604759…

Heard from a little 🐦 that private notes are being securitized via CLOs and sold off, but not in agency-rated securitization markets. Anyone have intel on this? BTW - here's my latest discussion with the good guys of private notes for background youtube.com/watch?v=ewGxfs…

Glad someone else from the industry is finally saying it... H/T: @JuliusMiami

It should be clear that most, if not all, of the supposed improvement in borrower credit quality between now and 2008 is the result not of actual quality improvements, but of regulatory changes to credit reporting, says @MarkCalabria, former FHFA director. nationalmortgagenews.com/opinion/the-co…

This is another high-profile example of a private note sale where the seller offered financing We know there was at least $23B that were tracked in MLS But folks in the know say there was quite a bit more How much? Nobody knows. realtor.com/news/celebrity…

Someone pointed out the price reduction is due to the relisted property not including the beachfront In looking at Zillow they have it creatively listed 3 ways - the whole property & then the two properties separately ⬇️$1M so far - one to watch Motivation inspires creativity

So perhaps all that dancing got just a wee bit carried away as I recently wrote on my Stack? We will see a refi bump, but for all the wrong reasons And those who need it the most cannot qualify @cvpayne
