A lot going on with the economy! Concern increases as treasury yields soar and mortgage rates rise to 8%!
The unknown of whether inflation will continue to increase. CPI increased 0.4% in September, and over the last 12 months it increased to 3.7%. Barry Sternlicht, billionaire of Starwood Capital, private equity firm- who specializes in real estate - sounded the alarms
MORTGAGE RATES
Average mortgage rate for the last 3 months is about 7%
There were 1.13M homes for sale at end of September, down more than 8% from a year ago (inventory)
Lowest levels since Great Recession
Sales of previously owned homes in September dropped 15.4%, compared to September 2022. CA house payment risen 127% since right before pandemic, while house prices has rose 45%
First time home buyers made up 27% of sales; All cash sales 29% - up from 27% in September and up from 22% in sept last year
End of year is the best time to buy - less competition since buyers go on vacation and enjoy the holidays
It is likely the Fed will not raise rates Nov. 1 - “our economy is resilient, unemployment is low and inflation is in check/sticky” - but rates are hanging high.
Prices fell last year from June 2022 til Dec 22 due to rapid deterioration in home affordability because of higher mortgage rates that hit about 7.4% in Oct. Expected market time went up during this time as well.
Right now about the avg. days on market is about 80 days, and buyers market is about 120 and more days.

Trump is in the hot seat, AGAIN. Trevor Bauer's future in the MLB or will he continue to play baseball in Japan? Real Estate Trivia, whether Andrew or Nick will win!
Why are we covering these topics on Full Count?
The attorney general alleges Trump inflated the value of his assets like his Mar-a-Lago Estate in which the judge says the estate is inflated by 2,300% (Judge and AG are using the Palm Beach County assessor's appraisal price value vs the market value), which is just wrong.
Note we were only able to cover Mar-a-Lago and not the NY real estate property due to time constraints. Maybe we will cover that in the future. Let us know your thoughts! Comment, subscribe and like or don't.

NY Attorney General Letitia James is suing Trump through a civil lawsuit for inflating his (real estate) assets. Says he defrauded lenders, insurers, and others by lying about his wealth for the purpose of seeking favorable loan terms and insurance costs. The judge has sided with the AG saying there’s evidence Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth.
Trump and his attorney’s claim that the lawsuit has no standing because the entities Trump supposedly defrauded have never complained about their dealings to anyone and in fact have profited from working with him, and if this did have any standing the allegations are barred by statute of limitations (deadline for filing a lawsuit) and had asked the judge to throw out the case, arguing that there wasn’t any evidence the public was harmed.
For bookings with Dr. Beracha: dreliberacha@gmail.com | 🔹Real Estate Investment Professor🔹Public Speaker🔹Consultant
Eli Beracha (instagram- / dreliberacha ) was quoted in “The Sun, New York” article about this topic where he said, “Appraisal values and market values are just not the same thing. It’s a well-known fact. That’s especially true for properties that are unique, and that’s very easy to argue this is a unique property. It is not the job of the county appraiser to assess value. If it was, we wouldn’t need Zillow.” End quote and may I also add, real estate agents among other technologies. “County officials like the ones in Palm Beach County that Judge Engoron cites, merely perform drive by appraisals that are used to assess taxes, not total value.”
- An appraisal that should be considered is by an actual real estate licensed appraiser that looks at comps in the area to determine the home’s actual value. An assessment is a measure of value that indicate how the property will be taxed by the state and local government. In addition, there would need to be a business broker of some sort or some type of entity to evaluate the value of the Mar-a-Lago private club business and the brand behind it which requires a whole other variety of variables besides looking at the financial statements.

Introducing our new co-host Chris Hensley!
In this episode we discuss:
Federal Reserve Leave Fed Fund Rates Unchanged! The Federal Reserve chairman in late August said his plans is to hold interest rates steady but would consider raising rates if the economy doesn’t slow enough to keep inflation down.
The fed raised rates in July by .25 pts so the fed funds rate now between 5.5% to 5.75% - July CPI 3.2% yearly, now at 3.7%, peak at 9.1% June 2022.
Growth in economy has propelled yields on longer dated treasury yields to highest level in 15 years, pushing up costs on mortgages, auto loans and credit cards.
Mortgage rates highest level since 2000 and applications for home purchases fell to their lowest level since ’95 (august)
Housing market, low supply but high rates to affect demand.
Baseball potential trades. Ohtani is injured and may leave the Angels? Ohtani leaving the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and stay in the West Coast? Certain baseball teams may work best for his cultural preferences.
Nepo home buyers assisted with buying a home
Gas prices and other things going up. Rates in the 7% range for over a month now, time will tell.

Inflation is said to lessen in the US just as other countries are still suffering from rampant costs rising, due such things as the Ukraine war and among other variables.

Why Full Count?
Full Count is a term in baseball which is when the batter has three balls and two strikes on the board. So the pressure! Their next decision on the pitch determines their outcome - either they see a bad pitch and get walked on base, see a good pitch and hit a home run, or strike out.
This channel is focused on making it count the most when the pressure is on - especially when investing in real estate and succeeding in business.
What is a "Full Count Moment"?
A "Full Count Moment" is when the pressure is on you, such as when you are going through a tough time or an extenuating circumstance, and you need to make a decision, or decisions, fast that will ultimately affect your destiny.
Being able to perform under pressure is crucial for success. This is what we hope to help you with. We will be sharing knowledge, stories, and educating you on topics related to real estate, investing, business, entrepreneurship, wealth building, and overall wellbeing.
