A Look Back to the Summer of 1930

June 6, 2021
Good morning,
 
New home sales fell by 5.9% nationwide last month. Not only was this trending down from the first quarter of the year, but it was also significantly below expectations. Strong home sales early in the recovery have exhausted inventory and skyrocketing lumber prices have prevented a more robust resurgence in new construction activities. However, rates remain low and demand is only increasing as the economy begins to reopen, so new home prices are growing by more than 20% on an annual basis.
 
Have a great week!

Health Tip of the Day: I have seasonal allergies so I am notorious for rubbing my eyes. Rubbing can be particularly dangerous to those with pre-existing eye conditions, such as progressive myopia that worsens with rubbing. People with glaucoma can aggravate their condition by rubbing, which can disrupt blood flow to the back of the eye, leading to nerve damage and possibly even permanent vision loss. Much worse, if you saw the bags under my eyes because I rub them so often.........
 
Did You Know? 25% of all sales were all-cash deals in April, up from 15% from a year ago. This is a good indicator of the stiff competition many buyers face. Many Buyers are no longer competing with those merely seeking a home to live in. (CNN)

Did You Know? The brain is a high-energy organ, using around a quarter of the nutrients we consume. A key first step to overcoming brain fog is to reintroduce routine. Brains love routines and patterns. Exercise is crucial to dealing with brain fog, as it releases a protein called a brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It acts like a “fertilizer,” which makes it easier for brain cells and connections to grow.(CNBC)
