  2. To the Editor:

    Well, I’ve been following the price of my house On Zillow, this is the first time I’ve seen it drop–also, for all of you who get to read the Daily Sun, the weekly pre-owned house supplement has really grown. IMHO with the recent increase in Fed interest rates, the cracks in the housing bubble will get wider until it bursts.
    Get ready for a deep recession.

  3. ‘Sales of existing homes fell 5.4% in June, the fifth straight month of decline, as higher prices dampened sales even though more properties were available to buy, the National Association of Realtors reported on Wednesday.’

    “We view the rapid acceleration in home sales over the past two years, which was generated in part by the pandemic itself and in part by low interest rates, as a temporary surge,” Ruben Gonzalez, chief economist at Keller Williams, said ahead of the report’s release.’

  4. ‘Mortgage applications fell for the third week in a row, hitting the lowest level since 2000, according to a separate release Wednesday by the Mortgage Bankers Association. “Buyers can’t figure out what is the right price,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “Sellers are very reluctant to give up” on the price they expected to sell for a few months ago, he said.’

  5. Demand is weakening rapidly and housing is going into a deep freeze, says Moody’s Zandi

  6. ‘But sellers should take note this brisk time on the market is not likely to last, said Yun. “This could be the last time we see such a swiftness in the market.”

    ‘While inventory is ticking up, there are still longstanding shortages of housing, said Yun. With builders cutting back on single-family construction and boosting construction of multifamily buildings, they may be betting on more people getting priced out of buying and renting instead.’

    “I don’t foresee any oversupply coming, even as sales retreat,” Yun said.’

  7. ‘After another tough quarter in which Netflix reported a loss of 970,000 subscribers, the company announced an $80M write-down connected to its exit of some real estate leases.’

    “We’ve adjusted our cost structure for our current rate of revenue growth,” a letter from Netflix to its shareholders read. Doing so meant incurring “an $80m non-cash impairment of certain real estate leases primarily related to rightsizing our office footprint,” the letter said.’

    ‘The company also incurred $70M in severance costs. The company has laid off hundreds of workers since June.’

  8. ‘JPMorgan Chase confirmed reports last month that it was cutting jobs because of “cyclical changes in the mortgage market.” However, it would not give details on how many jobs in Jacksonville were impacted or how many employees it has in Northeast Florida. JAXUSA Partnership, the economic development division of JAX Chamber, reports the company has 3,900 area workers.’

    ‘JPMorgan Chase said it is trying to reassign affected mortgage workers into other positions in the company. Besides its mortgage center, the company began opening bank branches in Northeast Florida under the Chase brand in 2013. Chase has 20 branches in the Jacksonville metropolitan area, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’

    ‘Wells Fargo & Co., another major bank with a big Jacksonville presence, also reported a drop in mortgage lending volume.
    The San Francisco-based bank said its mortgage originations fell 31% in the first six months of the year to $72 billion and its mortgage banking income fell 63% to $980 million.’

    “The mortgage market is expected to remain challenging in the near term, and it’s possible that we have a further decline in mortgage banking revenue in the third quarter,” Chief Financial Officer Mike Santomassimo said in Wells Fargo’s July 15 conference call with analysts. “We are making adjustments to reduce expenses in response to the lower origination volumes, and we expect these adjustments will continue over the next couple of quarters.”

    As one local broker explained to his clients, “You may as well start slashing double digits if you want to sell….. because the bottom is a long way down.”

  10. Listening to the Tracy, CA RE guy is hilarious.
    “There’s a lot of confusion in the market right now.”
    Dude, the only thing confusing is you…desperately trying to instill buying confidence in a market that’s clearly imploding before our very eyes.

    1. desperately trying to instill buying confidence

      The next payment on his Lexus will be due soon.

      1. “The next payment on his Lexus will be due soon.”

        Yeah, I can’t lie how appropriate it was seeing those two Mortgage clowns in the movie “The Big Short” walking into the crowded job faire with deer in headlights looks on their faces.

    2. It must take olympic level mental gymnastics to pay those prices in Tracy. Tracy will never be anything more than a place to sleep in between commutes. Fun factoid: Tracy is next door to Manteca which means fat/lard in spanish. It’s a charming area. Another fun factoid: Tracy is a lot closer to Lodi than San Jose. Would hate to get stucco there.

      1. “Tracy is next door to Manteca which means fat/lard in spanish.”

        Let’s not forget Tracy’s a few miles away from Stockton…voted one of the most miserable cities to live in the NATION by Forbes. So much unreported crime and violence and high gang presence. One local Comedian said if you triangulate Tracy, Manteca and Stockton to the center of the earth, it terminates at the Devil’s butthole.
