yes - Saw an article in Grants Interest Rate Observer make a similar point. Homebuilders are the big winners of this.

8%! Only time ive seen elevated commissions like that is when the overall price is low (common with raw land).

Just a dumb headline.

First, household formation has accelerated dramatically over the last 5 years (see article below). This trend will likely continue, and/or accelerate for many more years. Many of the major homebuilders have seen this coming (e.g. DR Horton).

Second, the lost value of office buildings did not merely dissipate - it just follows where people are spending time. Data from Kastle Systems suggests foot traffic back to office is roughly half of what it was pre-covid (40% to 50%). Those hours people are not in an office, they are in homes. If you have a bunch of adults spending ~20 additional hours per week in the home, they will value their homes more.

When I was doing appraisal in the aftermath of 08, the buyers driving the speculation looked nothing like the buyers waiting in line today.

Here is another thing I despise about these Credit Bureaus.

Ive walked into Commercial Real Estate brokerages where every single broker had a license to a credit bureau - with many of the junior brokers using it daily to look up real estate owners to call their mobile phones.

Obviously TLO knows theres no way a huge chunk of the CRE brokerage industry should be in their product on a daily basis if they were actually using a GLBA compliant use case... and they look the other way and find a way to monetize.

You really dont need to go digging in some dark corner of the internet to obtain this information... you can walk in through the front door
