Solar electricity is now expanding faster than any other kind of power source in the U.S. New solar installations are surging ahead of natural gas expansion as demand grows for the transition to clean energy for homes, businesses, data centers, and artificial intelligence. It's still a small percentage of the electricity we use, but industry experts say we are at a turning point in our decarbonization goals. I'd like to mention that anyone who missed my 2024 Mid-Year Economic Update can see a replay of the webinar at our website. I had one of my favorite economists as co-host – the very knowledgeable and engaging John Chang of Marcus & Millichap. You will find the webinar replay at www.newsforinvestors.com.

Migration trends are a crucial part of the real estate industry. Population growth equals more demand for nearly all asset classes of real estate. But demand changes over time, so it's also vital to be on top of what's trending in order to make smart decisions. In this episode, we'll take a look at what's happening in 2024 according to one of my favorite demographic experts. And I also just recorded a show on this on my other podcast with another expert demographer. You can check that out on the Real Wealth Show.

Some of the world's largest financial institutions just announced the launch of a new stock exchange in Dallas that could be a catalyst for more business and population growth.

Bisnow points out that the business environment that is attracting so many companies to move to Texas is also great for a new stock exchange.

Back to our economic news. We begin with news from this past week that gave us a strong jobs report and less reason to expect a near-term interest rate cut. Fed officials are meeting this coming week so we may get a clue about when they may cut rates, but economists believe the strong jobs report will give them reason to hold off on a rate cut since it alleviates some amount of worry about how the high-interest rate environment is impacting company decisions on hiring. And inflation has not yet returns to the Fed's 2% target... ...Despite that slight drop in occupancy, RealPage researchers believe the market is balanced due to solid job and population growth.

It's a breath of fresh air to see that the number of homes for sale is heading back "up" toward normal. We've heard for so long about a tight inventory that's making homes more expensive and harder to find. But a new Realtor.com report is showing a sharp rise in for sale listings that some real estate experts are calling an "incredible trend."

That's after seven months of growth that includes a 6.2% bump for the month of May and, before that, a 12.2% bump for the month of April. Other data from the report shows that the median price of a home has remained stable with just .3% of growth for the year and a median price of $442,500. But there has been a 3.8% increase in the price per square foot. That points to a larger number of smaller, more affordable homes that are being listed with a higher price per square foot...

The Fed's preferred Personal Consumption Expenditure index for April shows the overall inflation rate up .3%, which economists had forecast. But the core rate, which strips out prices for food and gas, was a surprise, at an increase of .2%. That's the smallest monthly increase for the core rate this year.

Investor purchases of single-family homes increased last month. According to a new Redfin report shows investors captured more of the single-family market in the first quarter than they did a year earlier. And it was the first time for this kind of activity since mid-2022. I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you'd like to increase your share of the real estate market, join me on our upcoming real estate tour on June 8th in San Antonio. We'll have a meet and greet the night before somewhere very cool and then tour properties, including brand new duplexes and quads that come with a 4.25% interest rate. Yes you heard me right. RealWealth has negotiated a deal with the builder to buy down rates, so check it out at newsforinvestors.com. You'll find our upcoming webinars and property tours under the "Connect" tab. And you won't be alone. As the Redfin report shows, investors are scooping up as many residential properties as they can. Redfin says that investors bought about 44,000 homes in the first quarter or 18.7% of all the homes purchased in the US. That's up from 17.9% the year before, and represents a .5% increase. The numbers represent all homes including single-family homes, townhomes, condos and multifamilies, but Redfin says the surge was mostly driven by investors buying single-family homes. Redfin says that single-family homes accounted for 69.9% of all the residential properties bought by investors. The analysis included a look at 39 of the largest US metros by both large and small investors... ...You'll find a link to the Redfin report in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

Members of the Federal Open Market Committee noted that inflation has come down a lot over the past year but is currently stalled. Several expressed a willingness to raise rates further if necessary, although some Fed officials, including Fed Chief Jerome Powell, have said publicly that they don't think their next move will be a rate hike.

The Producer Price Index for April shows an unexpected .5% jump in wholesale prices while the Consumer Price Index shows a better-than-expected .3% increase in consumer prices. The April results bring the annual PPI up to 2.2%, and lower the annual CPI to 3.4%. The results for the core rate were similar with the PPI increasing slightly and the CPI decreasing slightly. Although the first report triggered another wave of concern about where inflation is headed, the second report helped settle a few nerves. And they didn't do much to ruffle the feathers of Fed Chief Jerome Powell.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending May 4th, 2024… why the Fed is holding firm on interest rates, what economists are saying about consumer spending, and why a NY landlord may be forced to live in one of his poorly maintained buildings. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you want more helpful information about real estate, the housing market, and rental property investment, please sign up for a free RealWealth membership at newsforinvestors.com. And please remember to subscribe to this podcast! We begin with economic news from this past week. The big headline came from the Federal Reserve. Members of the Federal Open Market Committee decided to keep short-term rates right where they are, saying there's a "lack of further progress" on inflation. The federal funds rate has been within a range of 5.25 and 5.50% since July of 2023. There had been hope for a rate cut this spring but inflation has been inching higher instead of lower since the beginning of the year. The Fed wants to see a more sustainable decline toward the Fed's 2% target before it initiates a rate cut. During his post-meeting speech, Fed Chief Jerome Powell emphasized that "inflation is still too high" and that the data has not given the central bank confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward the target rate. But he did offer some assurance that it's unlikely that the Fed would be hiking rates at the next meeting. That triggered a lot of joy on Wall Street and a big stock rally. The Dow was up as much as 500 points at one point...

NASA's chief is worried about the possibility of a lunar land grab by China. China announced the launch of a test flight just this past week with plans to put boots on the moon's surface in the near future. One big concern is that China is not part of an international lunar cooperation agreement, and may try to lay claim to an area believed to have water.

Now back to our story… China just announced the launch of an unmanned test mission to the dark side of the moon. The spacecraft will be guided by a satellite because that side of the moon permanently faces away from earth. The lander will collect rocks and soil and, with the help of a satellite, will depart from the moon for a return trip to earth...

A federal agency is suggesting that lenders foot the bill for title insurance instead of home buyers. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says that home buyers are paying way too much for something that protects lenders. But skeptics are pushing back, saying if lenders are forced to pay, a change in the rules won't have the desired result and won't do much for housing affordability. Hi!

And if you haven't yet, subscribe to this podcast on your favorite platform so you won't miss an episode. Now, back to our story about title insurance, which is required by lenders to verify ownership and whether there are any liens on the property. It typically costs about $2,000 for a median-priced home. But according to Rocket Mortgage, it can vary from state to state and can range from half-a-percent to 1%. So let's say you're buying a $500,000 home and you need title insurance. If it costs half-a-percent of the home price, that's $2,500, and at 1%, $5,000. As reported by The Real Deal, buyers often overlook the cost of title insurance so it comes as a surprise. And here's the rub, if there's no loan, owner's title insurance only costs about $200, which is what the CFPB is concerned about – that homebuyers are being overcharged for title insurance...

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 27th, 2024… the Fed's preferred inflation report casts another shadow over a near-term rate cut, housing takes a bigger bite out of the GDP, and the court ruling that could prevent a controversial but popular law that allows single-family lot splitting in California. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you want to know more about investing in rental properties, we are holding a live event on May 4th near the San Francisco airport. You can find out more about the event at newsforinvestors.com. And don't forget to click the subscribe button for this podcast! Now back to our News Brief… We begin with economic news from this past week. The all-important PCE inflation report came out and confirmed once again that it'll take a bit longer to get inflation back down to the 2% level. The Federal Reserve's preferred Personal Consumption Expenditure index shows a .3% increase in prices last month which increases the yearly rate of inflation from 2.5% to 2.7%. The core rate which excludes prices for energy and food was also up .3% with a yearly rate that was unchanged at 2.8%. The report makes it more likely that the Fed will not be cutting interest rates in the near future...

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 20th, 2024... you'll hear what the Fed Chief said about "higher for longer," (he didn't say that on 4/20 but that would have been funny!) why Moody's is offering an upbeat prediction about rate cuts, and how renters feel about homeownership. We begin with economic news from this past week and more talk about what's next for interest rates. Fed Chief Jerome Powell spoke out last Tuesday, saying that recent data shows a lack of progress in reducing inflation to the Fed's 2% goal, and that Fed officials need to have more confidence that that is happening before they cut rates. He said that inflation "declined significantly during the second half of last year" but he added: "The recent data have clearly not given us greater confidence and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence."... ...If you'd like to learn more about investing in real estate, I encourage you to sign up for a free RealWealth membership and come to our live event in San Francisco on May 4th.

Earth Day is here again, as a reminder to celebrate this beautiful planet we live on. For real estate investors, It's also a reminder to check on our own properties and do whatever we can to make them more resilient to natural disasters. Climate resiliency is what CoreLogic says is the key to "future real estate stability." Environmental risk is becoming more important for anyone buying property, whether it's due to potential flooding, wildfires, hurricanes or even sea level changes. Although climate-related natural disasters pose a financial threat to every industry, they pose a huge threat to the real estate industry which also accounts for a substantial portion of our US economy... ...If you haven't done it already, let Earth Day be an inspiration to do the research you need to make your properties more resilient to climate-related events. It may also help guide you as to where you want to invest and how to fortify your portfolio against the risks, not just for you but for future generations. You'll find links to the CoreLogic articles in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com. You can also find out more about smart real estate investing as a RealWealth member and by attending our live event in San Francisco on May 4th. We'll have five property teams giving presentations about their markets and available rental properties.

California property owners, developers and affordable housing advocates are scoring a big win from the US Supreme Court! The high court ruled that local "impact fees" imposed on newly constructed homes can be challenged in court. This is a significant win for property rights because these fees can add a substantial amount of money onto the price of a home. The case began with a lawsuit by George Sheetz in California's El Dorado County. That's in the foothills heading toward Lake Tahoe. Sheetz is a 72-year-old retiree who applied for a permit in 2016 to build an 18-hundred square foot manufactured home on a small lot that is zoned for residential use. The county then imposed a traffic mitigation fee or "impact fee" of $23,420... ...That's it for this episode. You'll find links to our source material in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 15th, 2024... why the latest inflation reports could postpone the Fed's rate-cutting plan, how inflation continues to impact construction costs, and why homeowners are getting sticker shock from property tax bills. We begin with economic news from this past week that was dominated by two of the latest inflation reports. The Consumer Price Index or CPI came out on Wednesday and the Producer Price Index or PPI came out on Thursday. Unfortunately for everyone wanting a great inflation report, the March CPI was hotter than expected. It rose .4% in March for an annual rate of 3.5%. That's up from 3.2% last month. That is not what the Fed wants to see as it decides to lower the Federal Funds rate... ...That's it for today.

Florida Realtors are celebrating a new law that makes it easier for property owners to remove squatters. It's become a crisis situation across the nation when squatters take control of a property and claim they are the victims. Florida has changed that, but property owners also need to protect themselves from the illegal occupation of their rightful homes... ...You should also know your rights and the rights of squatters (if they have any) for the area where your property is located. If squatters don't leave when you ask them, you may have to file an eviction notice and take them to court. And make sure you have a lawyer who's experienced with property rights law. The Florida anti-squatting law will take effect on July 1st. That's it for this episode. We've posted links to some of these stories in the show notes if you'd like to read more about it. Just go to newsforinvestors.com. I'd also like to mention our live event on May 4th in San Francisco for people who'd like to invest in rental properties. We'll have a total of six property teams giving presentations including two from Florida where the new anti-squatting law will help protect our properties!

Demand for housing in and around Dallas, Texas continues to soar. While investors have been pouring millions of dollars into creating more affordable housing, the metro is attracting so many people that tens of thousands of homes are still needed. Supply isn't expected to catch up to demand any time soon. An article in Bisnow says that investors have put a record amount of money into the area, but it hasn't done much to close the affordable housing gap. Executive director of the Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers, Roger Arriaga, says: "The demand is excruciatingly big. We haven't really even dented what the true need is for affordable housing."... ...This is why we started a North Dallas Rental Fund, which is now closed to new investment, but is still in the process of buying and renovating properties. The plan is to lease the updated homes to tech professionals who are moving to the area. My fund partner is also a property manager and helps individuals build their own rental portfolio.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 6th, 2024... more prognostications on when the central bank may cut rates, which major cities are attracting the most home buyers, and why artificial intelligence could have a negative impact on commercial real estate. We begin with economic news from this past week. Fed Chief Jerome Powell expressed caution about when we might see the first interest rate cut. While many economists have been predicting three rate cuts this year with the first happening in June, Powell said it's too soon to say exactly when it may be appropriate to begin the rate cutting process. He spoke at Stanford University saying: "Recent readings on both job gains and inflation have come in higher than expected" and that policymakers believe rate cuts may be possible later this year but they need "greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably down" toward the central bank's 2% target... ...That's it for today.

With the help of artificial intelligence, there's a new wild, wild west on the internet, where scammers are pretty much free to pick your pocket. Security experts are warning people that you can be scammed out of money or even real estate by deepfake audio or video clips. And there aren't a lot of safeguards in place right now. The technology is evolving more quickly than security experts can design or implement safeguards. As reported by Bigger Pockets, scammers orchestrated a $25 million dollar heist by impersonating the CEO of a multinational company. Hong Kong authorities say the money was transferred by an employee after a video conference call with who he thought was the CEO, but wasn't... ...AI fraud can certainly turn your world upside down, but using AI in constructive ways could lead to much greater success in whatever you are trying to accomplish.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending March 30th, 2024...yet another hot inflation report that we shouldn't worry about, a turnaround in rent growth, and criticism for the Fed about the impact of high rates. We begin with economic news from this past week. Another inflation report shows that we still have a few bumps in the road to deal with. The government released a report on the PCE for February which shows a sharp increase in prices. The Personal Consumption Expenditure Index was up .3%. That's slightly below the .4% that Wall Street economists had predicted. The core rate, without prices for food and fuel, was also up .3%. The monthly increase led to a higher annual rate of inflation from 2.4% to 2.5%. The core rate went down slightly from 2.9% to 2.8%. The report doesn't change much about the central bank's forecast. Fed Chief Jerome Powell said, a day after the PCE was released, that the data was inline with expectations but that officials want to see more evidence that inflation is decreasing before they cut rates... ...You can read more about these stories by following links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.
