- 3:04Speaker 2: new listings, and he's gonna give us all the details.
- 3:06Speaker 2: The most important one that I need is the list price,
- 3:09Speaker 2: the potential purchase price on the home. That time, I
- 3:12Speaker 2: will give everyone a kind of a down payment somebody

- 15:12Speaker 1: and I were. John mount since he won today.
- 15:15Speaker 3: We were only off by everybody was only off by
- 15:17Speaker 3: like twenty dollars and fifty dollars in some of these.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Man, it was pretty darn close. Pay it. It was
- 15:24Speaker 1: a pretty good gay. It was pretty good, pretty good hopefully.
- 15:27Speaker 1: You know, you know, I just don't like losing. But
- 15:31Speaker 1: you know it's okay. It's those rates, Brad, and you
- 15:34Speaker 1: tuned the rates where they should be.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, I've been working my little between me
- 15:39Speaker 2: and my Crystal Ball, we've been doing a lot of
- 15:41Speaker 2: talking and kind of making sure we were on the
- 15:43Speaker 2: same page.
- 15:44Speaker 1: And you caught up your room power and said, look,
- 15:46Speaker 1: what can we do.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Let's get this, let's get this thing going. So, I mean, yeah,
- 15:49Speaker 2: so we had a pretty wild ride of improvement of
- 15:53Speaker 2: in the bond markets, which is good for mortgage rates
- 15:56Speaker 2: coming down. So we had a I guess it's probably
- 16:01Speaker 2: our first official jobs report with the new BLS somebody
- 16:04Speaker 2: else since so we've removed the other BLS director, the
- 16:08Speaker 2: Burer Labor and Statistics, and so after some revisions and everything,
- 16:12Speaker 2: we actually had I mean, this isn't all good news
- 16:14Speaker 2: as far as the jobs go, because the job reports
- 16:17Speaker 2: a lot weaker than expected. They're seeing the decreases, people
- 16:22Speaker 2: feeling the decreases. June was eventually revised to a negative number,
- 16:28Speaker 2: which was the first time in fifty four months that
- 16:30Speaker 2: we had a negative number in job gains from the BLS,
- 16:34Speaker 2: and so, I mean, that's that's significant.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Just do that, yeah, change ye.
- 16:40Speaker 2: So it came out with the job reports that came
- 16:42Speaker 2: out this past week, the revisions that'd be the final revision,
- 16:45Speaker 2: and then July was revised lower. It'll have one more
- 16:49Speaker 2: revision by the end of next month. But it was
- 16:51Speaker 2: going down as well once they started drawing it down.
- 16:53Speaker 2: And then honestly, the job gains that was suspected to
- 16:57Speaker 2: have seventy five thousand around in August as far as
- 17:00Speaker 2: the original number ended up being around twenty one thousand
- 17:03Speaker 2: and ninety thousand of those job gains was was the
- 17:08Speaker 2: birth death model, which is just literally saying that this
- 17:11Speaker 2: is about how many should have gone out of business,
- 17:13Speaker 2: and people businesses started to but there's no there's no
- 17:15Speaker 2: support or anything like that. So once that gets tailored down,
- 17:19Speaker 2: it would have been a negative number this past month. Also,
- 17:22Speaker 2: the other thing we're seeing is is the UH the
- 17:28Speaker 2: the people that are moving to from full time to
- 17:30Speaker 2: part time because they can't find full time work is
- 17:32Speaker 2: increasing to the highest level since middle of COVID, and
- 17:36Speaker 2: so we're we're we're definitely seeing the jobs so down
- 17:38Speaker 2: you know, there's you know, there's there's a lot of
- 17:40Speaker 2: AI that has to do with that. You know, we've
- 17:42Speaker 2: you know, you start seeing like you know, I was
- 17:44Speaker 2: listened to some other day talk about let they up
- 17:47Speaker 2: in the Northeast. They went to you know, to Taco
- 17:49Speaker 2: Bell drive through and it was completely humanless way and
- 17:54Speaker 2: so they had like one person there just in case
- 17:56Speaker 2: something went wrong, but other than that, it was that
- 17:58Speaker 2: was completely through the drive through, completely AI done. Sides.
- 18:03Speaker 2: I guess, I guess there were people in the kitchen,
- 18:05Speaker 2: but that was it, and so and so, you know,
- 18:08Speaker 2: you so you start looking at that and you start saying, Okay, well,
- 18:11Speaker 2: who's gonna who's gonna get those jobs back?
- 18:13Speaker 1: Right?
- 18:13Speaker 2: Like? Nobody those those aren't coming back. More of those
- 18:15Speaker 2: are gonna start going away. So where are we gonna
- 18:17Speaker 2: supplement and find this? You know, where where where we're
- 18:20Speaker 2: gonna make some of these things up. There was also
- 18:23Speaker 2: a big conflict on the jobs report between a DP,
- 18:25Speaker 2: which is you know, one of our larger you know,
- 18:28Speaker 2: with a lot of people get paid through a DP
- 18:29Speaker 2: and everything that has some good stuff. It showed a
- 18:32Speaker 2: decrease in like in health care and hospitality numbers where
- 18:37Speaker 2: the Bills Report showed showed gains. So there was like
- 18:41Speaker 2: a there was like a seventy five eighty thousand dollars
- 18:43Speaker 2: job difference in those in those same subcategories by using
- 18:47Speaker 2: ADP on one and the Bills Job reporting the other.
- 18:50Speaker 2: So I think the markets are just reacted that, hey,
- 18:52Speaker 2: it's not as strong as we think. And now now
- 18:55Speaker 2: now the odds are we are going to get three cuts,
- 18:57Speaker 2: We're gonna get another, We're gonna get this cut coming
- 18:59Speaker 2: up here in septeen, gonna get one in October, probably
- 19:02Speaker 2: one either in November December.
- 19:03Speaker 1: So do you think that they would get like aggressive
- 19:06Speaker 1: and go with like more of a half point cut.
- 19:10Speaker 2: You know that that's been part of the conversation too,
- 19:12Speaker 2: and even even going we'll even drill it down a
- 19:16Speaker 2: little more than they go in so many quarters. And
- 19:18Speaker 2: they have talked about not doing the traditional way of
- 19:20Speaker 2: like getting into a system of just saying, okay, it's
- 19:24Speaker 2: just gonna be twenty five every meeting. Now, what what
- 19:27Speaker 2: does that? You know, entail? Does it mean they're gonna
- 19:30Speaker 2: skip one? Are they gonna do a fifty bip. Are
- 19:32Speaker 2: they gonna do you know, are they are they gonna
- 19:34Speaker 2: do a random number kind of cut that that doesn't
- 19:37Speaker 2: make a lot of sense, But you know, you know,
- 19:39Speaker 2: not be so just quarter every time until we get
- 19:42Speaker 2: it where we want it, which I think is good too. Like,
- 19:45Speaker 2: you know, I think it's good to have kind of
- 19:46Speaker 2: predicting us to know what the plan is or what
- 19:49Speaker 2: they're thinking. But let's not be so like, you know,
- 19:52Speaker 2: it can't be perfect every time where you're just constantly
- 19:54Speaker 2: doing twenty five and there's got to be something that's
- 19:56Speaker 2: driving it, so it can't just always be the same
- 19:58Speaker 2: number that you need on it. So like let's let's
- 20:00Speaker 2: actually drill it down and so they may you know,
- 20:02Speaker 2: the couple of the FED governors have mentioned maybe doing
- 20:05Speaker 2: something a little more, a little more that's tailored to
- 20:09Speaker 2: what we're actually seeing opposed to just kind of sticking
- 20:11Speaker 2: to a system and so, which I think would be
- 20:14Speaker 2: you know, a nice change of pace, and the markets
- 20:16Speaker 2: will probably you know reflect positively with that, gotcha, gotcha?
- 20:20Speaker 2: So yeah, but I mean it's I mean, so I mean,
- 20:23Speaker 2: let's just you know, just just on the average, is
- 20:25Speaker 2: just say that, you know, last week when we were talking.
- 20:27Speaker 2: I was saying, you know, somewhere around six and a
- 20:29Speaker 2: half percent your your thirty year average right now. I
- 20:31Speaker 2: mean over the over a week, we've probably dropped a quarter.
- 20:34Speaker 2: So you know, saying six and a quarter on that
- 20:36Speaker 2: thirty year average, does that mean that we don't have
- 20:38Speaker 2: people right now that we can quote in the fives
- 20:40Speaker 2: high fives? No, we definitely can. I mean, the government
- 20:43Speaker 2: loans are usually a little lower. We can get those
- 20:45Speaker 2: in the high fives right now. And then even and
- 20:48Speaker 2: even with you know, a small discount point, you're gonna
- 20:51Speaker 2: be to get in the fives. So I mean even
- 20:53Speaker 2: on a conventional thirty or fix. So there's a lot
- 20:55Speaker 2: of options there. But I mean it's going the right
- 20:58Speaker 2: direction and all all with the jobs reports thing is
- 21:01Speaker 2: so big because it was one of those things that
- 21:02Speaker 2: we knew was there. But you know, you've talked about
- 21:05Speaker 2: me talk talk about those numbers being faulty and kind
- 21:07Speaker 2: of screwed up and not very reliable. And so now
- 21:10Speaker 2: the time that's come to light, the markets are reflecting
- 21:13Speaker 2: to it, and you know, as long as it stays
- 21:15Speaker 2: giving us the real numbers, again, the numbers are what
- 21:17Speaker 2: they are. But if we're getting fake ones. It doesn't
- 21:19Speaker 2: help anybody, so so so it is what it is.
- 21:22Speaker 2: So if rates need to come down because of it,
- 21:23Speaker 2: they need to come down. And I think they're going
- 21:25Speaker 2: to continue.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there. I definitely think that they're going
- 21:28Speaker 1: to continue. And you know, that's that's music to our ears.
- 21:32Speaker 1: So in real estate having lower rates and and it
- 21:36Speaker 1: looks like, I mean just our showings are starting to
- 21:38Speaker 1: pick up a little bit more on our listings, and
- 21:41Speaker 1: I think that has, you know, correlation with rates coming down.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Yep.
- 21:46Speaker 1: So at least that you know, having the conversation about
- 21:48Speaker 1: rates coming down and the media makes a big difference
- 21:51Speaker 1: because it gets people like, hey, what's you know, what's
- 21:53Speaker 1: going on? But I think we also have to talk
- 21:56Speaker 1: about it with our clients. Just let them know, hey,
- 21:58Speaker 1: rates are probably maybe six quarter right now, or maybe
- 22:01Speaker 1: if we've got you know, FHA or VA, we might
- 22:05Speaker 1: get maybe five and a half or five seven five,
- 22:08Speaker 1: you know, in those ranges, And that gets at least
- 22:10Speaker 1: people in that conversation talking about like everybody's situation is different,
- 22:14Speaker 1: everybody's credit score is different, everybody qualifies for something different,
- 22:17Speaker 1: but you still have to make that plan and it
- 22:22Speaker 1: can also depend on the house too, what it qualifies for.
- 22:25Speaker 2: And to your point about that, like it just just
- 22:27Speaker 2: on this is this is there's no technical data behind this,
- 22:29Speaker 2: but like I made a Facebook post this past week
- 22:31Speaker 2: of kind of a call to action, like hey, whether
- 22:33Speaker 2: you're looking refinance, cat, cash out, purchase, like, let's build
- 22:36Speaker 2: a plan because rates are coming down. And that was
- 22:38Speaker 2: like last Tuesday. And normally when I make up some
- 22:40Speaker 2: kind of posts like that, I may get one, like
- 22:42Speaker 2: maybe a couple, maybe a comment or two, but usually
- 22:45Speaker 2: not much. You know, it's just kind of I know
- 22:46Speaker 2: people were seeing it's the top of mind. I've had
- 22:48Speaker 2: seven different people reach out to me directly interesting from
- 22:51Speaker 2: that post. Nice, So your point about people are itching
- 22:54Speaker 2: and ready and wanting to hear rates are coming down
- 22:56Speaker 2: because they need or want to do something, whether it
- 22:59Speaker 2: is a refinance, which one of them was and the
- 23:00Speaker 2: other ones were purchases, but just trying to get a
- 23:03Speaker 2: feel for what's going on. So I mean that's that's
- 23:05Speaker 2: a tailtale signed to your point of what people are
- 23:08Speaker 2: looking at and thinking.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Yeah, well, like as always, you need to build your
- 23:12Speaker 1: plan of action, whether it's buying or selling for any
