Here’s why mortgage rates are rising after the Fed’s rate cut
In a tight housing market, fixer-uppers are having a moment
I Can’t Buy a House. I Can’t Shop. I’m Too Worried About the Election.
Map Shows States Where Mortgage Rates are Increasing the Most
US new home sales highest in nearly 1-1/2 years in September
Housing on the ballot: Harris, Trump push different plans for tackling housing affordability crisis
Trump vows to deport millions. Builders say it would drain their crews and drive up home costs.
Lumber Today
Lumber prices rose to $550 per thousand board feet in October, an over six-month high as optimistic US economic data lifted the demand outlook for construction materials. US GDP grew 2.8% in Q3, underscoring consumer resilience, while single-family home sales reached a 16-month high and pending home sales saw their largest jump since January 2023. Meanwhile, supply constraints in the southern part of the US drove wood mills to hike prices. Globally, limited access to cheap wood exacerbates the supply crunch in the US. Climate-related infestations in Canada and Europe once boosted affordable wood supplies, but now, reductions in logging in Europe, Russia’s export ban, and increased conservation efforts in North America are tightening the log supply, impacting major markets like China.
Congratulations BANNJ Past President John Cioletti!
