Anyone seen a slow down in orders the last month?

Recession fears push investors into treasuries moving the rates lower.

Rates havn't moved in two years. Sitting in a range since 2023.
 
This month, I got busier because the interest rates were reduced. Trump does not make rates to down - though since his tariff plan is scaring investors and stoking fears of inflation, rates might react to that.

So, he does :ROFLMAO:
 
Just like you guys never gave Biden the credit when RE appraisal had the busiest, most lucrative period during his first two years
Only because interest rates were nigh zero - such an unnatural event that it has consequences - ballooning deficit, government over-spending, and the hoax called the "covid crisis" - Besides the Fed not Biden controls interest rates. The exploding home prices of 2021-22 has also exploded home insurance costs, property tax valuations, and now over-priced builders here went from $130/SF in 2020 to $220/SF literally overnight. Yes, lumber got high but lumber futures are less than 50% the cost it was but lumber sellers are keeping their prices as high as possible because they are moving about half as much product as they did in 2022.

For 4 years Biden blamed everything on DT, even claiming he inherited high inflation when not one single month had lower inflation that the last month DT was in office. NOT ONE.
