FED Holds Steady

[glenn walker]

Please post this ‘clear evidence’ to lower rates.

Taco Boy’s economic policies are chaotic. Holding steady on rates is the rational position to take given the high likelihood of inflation in the near future.

Chaos are you living in a cave. Outside Real Estate everyone is making money. Inflation can be good or bad but in general you need more than 2% to grow your way out of debt. The Fed's are operating in a old pre technology world and are stuck in the mud. Thank god we have Bessant in the Treasury.

Another Canary: The Las Vegas Economy Is Tanking Just Like It Did In 2008 And 2009​

Nobody can deny what is happening in Las Vegas, because the numbers are telling a very clear story...

... people stop spending ... layoffs and inflation ...

The Federal Open Market Committee decides the interest rates....it's 12 members, not just Powell. "They" evaluate economic data, employment, inflation, and growth, to guide its decisions on interest rates.

They're not like Trump who has the House, Senate, and SCOTUS but still insists on Executive Orders for everything. That's not how our government was meant to work.

You Magas are just mad because Trump is... the funny thing is that Trump wants the interest rates lowered to make himself look good..... not for the best interests of the country.

Your real estate business would pick up and do you realize how big the California market is. Refinances, sales, the list goes on and on. This isn't about Trump it's our State. Quit letting hate and revenge control your financial progress. In 45 years nobody has ever seen the California markets this dead.

Please list those who are making money besides the pimps in felony flats.

Stability, in and of itself, has value. Trump adds instability to the market, which is desirable for your agenda. Fortunately for Real Americans the FED is holding steady.

You want the Feds operating like the Govenor of California ? Quit worrying about things that haven't happened but you being in Real Estate should be the first in line to get our market's rolling.

Yes.... appraisal business would most likely go Haywire. I would benefit, everyone here would benefit.

But I don't want to benefit to the detriment of the economy. Cutting rates too soon could result in overstimulating the economy later, leading to future instability.

This statement sounds like a CNN story. "Could" is thrown around in the media like the term "experts" to make a story. The truth is nobody knows for sure.

The truth is that first time home buyers are priced out of the market due to high interest rates. The Fed can always lower the rates and then raise them again if the desired results do not work. The truth is that it is all speculation at this point.

Crazy times. We should have seen a CRE crash by now, but extend and pretend was approved by the regulators and now it looks like the private market is stepping up behind the scenes and buying up stressed CRE. Nutty.

Banks Herald End Of Extend-And-Pretend With Sales Of Problem Loans

Private credit activity is picking up as the days of extend-and-pretend come to an end

www.bisnow.com

"As the end of the extend-and-pretend era of commercial real estate lending coincides with the meteoric rise of private credit, a growing number of investors are eager to buy debt — and traditional lenders are more willing to offload it.

The combination has let private funds boost their control of the real estate debt markets and grab hold of tangible assets at low cost."

"Historically, a small market of debt buyers limited banks’ ability to offload loans, resulting in significant credit tightening.

But private lending has surged in recent years, with the number and size of funds ballooning. In 2011, there were just 100 private debt funds in the market globally. By the third quarter of 2023, there were approximately 1,080 private debt funds, according to Preqin."
