South Florida house sales PLUMMET by up to 40% compared to last year – Miami the most
“What I think is beyond denial right now, beyond debate, is the fact that the housing sector itself is in recession,” Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said in a presentation Tuesday at the annual National Association of Real Estate Editors conference in Atlanta. He said declines in single-family builder sentiment, single-family starts, permits and sales are all indicators of that.
Even through the decline in building, most of the nation’s single-family home construction is concentrated in the South. Houston saw the most single-family home permits in the first seven months of 2022 at just over 32,000, followed by Dallas-Fort Worth with almost 30,000 permits, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
“If you add Houston and Dallas together, they’re producing more single-family homes — just those two metros — than the entire state of California,” Dietz said. “That’s how difficult it is to build in California with regulatory costs, taxes fees, zoning issues and the like.”

As shown by the chart below, we’re coming off one of the worst performance years for returns in history — a once-in-a-century regime shift.
I love a good once-in-a-century regime shift in the mornin’!

The average interest rate on the most popular U.S. home loan rose to its highest level since 2006 as the housing sector continued to bear the brunt of tightening financial conditions.
Wakey wakey dancing cowgirl!
Ukraine’s capital region was struck by Iranian-made kamikaze drones early Thursday, officials said, sending rescue workers rushing to the scene as residents awoke to air-raid sirens for the fourth consecutive morning following Russia’s major assault across the country earlier this week.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office, said on Telegram that “critical infrastructure facilities” in the area were hit, without offering any details on which ones.
