How is this economy affecting mortgages and housing?

How is this economy affecting mortgages and housing?

It's right in that timeframe. That's about two and a half months that they're off. And so many people want to start there. They want to start the school year, they don't want to move their kids during the year they want to move them at the start of having started with the rest of the kids.

We have the year-to-date sales, we have 10,318 year-to-date sales for the four months, and we had 12,520 year-to-date residential listings. So that gives us a current inventory active inventory of 1979 homes. Now that sounds like a lot of homes. But when you start splitting it up by price range and areas, there really aren't that many homes out there. No, not even close. I remember seeing back when I was a new home sales, there would be 12,000 homes available. And even new homes under construction, it was a much bigger number. This number is incredible to me. It was already low. But the average number of days on market for April was 15 days.

Do not hesitate. And there's it's really tough on people who are just starting because that's a hard thing to do when you're spending that much money to just go and say, okay, I like this house, I want to buy this house. Because you don't want buyer's remorse. You don't want all those other issues. And it's a tough situation for people. But it is the reality. If you don't, you're not going to get the house.

No, I mean, to say, oh, let's think about it tonight. Yeah, that doesn't work that might work in the car business, and we're gonna go buy a car. But right now, in the housing market, that is not working,
