The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2024/07/26

A few weeks ago we spoke about the surge in residential real estate in parts of Florida. Inventories are up in several markets. But we are also seeing a surge in condos appearing on the market in South Florida. In fact, the condo sale inventory is up 90% in South Florida and the volume of transactions has fallen through the floor. The number of sale transactions was the lowest it has been since 2012 which was at the bottom of the GFC. We now have 8 months of inventory for condos as compared with

Are We Running Out Of Water?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2024/07/25

On today’s show we are talking about what in some locations is a scarce resource. The headlines decry shortages of fresh water. Certain water sheds have been abused over the past century. The Colorado River is one example of those powerful rivers that seemed limitless. It flows through 7 states and 2 states in Mexico. So many communities along its path would not exist if it were not for the water supplied by the Colorado River. The Colorado river has been so exploited that it no longer reaches the

Rate Cuts Are Coming

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2024/07/25

On today’s show we are taking a look at the most recent announcement from the Bank of Canada. Today the Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark rate by 0.25% to 4.5%. That means the US and Canada have a full percentage point difference between the benchmark lending rates of the two central banks. This makes for two back to back rate cuts in Canada. The Bank of Canada cut its key lending rate by 0.25 back in June. The message from the Governor of the Bank of Canada was that lower rates were

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2024/07/23

On today’s show we are talking about cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort a person feels when someone's behaviour does not align with their values or beliefs. Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds two contradictory thoughts at the same time.Here’s an example. Ice cream is bad for me. I want some chocolate ice cream. These two thoughts are seemingly at odds with each other. --------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso

Are Interest Rates Falling?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2024/07/18

On today’s show we are taking a look at what the bond market might be signalling when it comes to the US economy and the global economy. We have known that the yield curve has been inverted for a record period of time, more than 2 years as of now. An inverted yield curve happens when the short term interest rates are higher than long term interest rates. The classic metric has compared the yield between the 2 year and the 10 year treasury bond. Today the 2 year and the 10 year bond are still

Building a business is difficult. That’s true of all businesses, regardless of the industry. It takes hard work to build a team and to figure out what works and what doesn’t work. There will be mistakes along the way and corrective action and if not then the business will probably fail. Then there are those people who look for a misguided shortcut. Working with experienced people is the key to compressing timeframes and accelerating learning. Hopefully you make fewer

Why Did The Fed Pivot?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2024/07/12

What drove the Fed to change their tune? In the most recent testimony in front of a congressional committee, chair Powell spoke about getting closer to their stated 2% target. But clearly the numbers are still elevated. The restrictive monetary policy is serving to bring demand and supply into better balance and to put downward pressure on inflation. He said that moving too soon or too much could stall or even reverse the progress we have seen against inflation. In spite of this, Chair Powell said

Today’s show is an observation based on years of a particular pattern repeating itself. When that pattern of progress is disrupted, people become dissatisfied and we start to experience fragmentation and chaos. There is an expectation that every year someone wants to get ahead. Even in an inflationary environment, people need to see their income increasing. We know that there is widespread discontent, not just in the United States.

AMA - What Can Influence A Land Appraisal

2024/07/10

Today’s question comes from Raffaele who asks:I have a project that is about to go into construction. The city is requiring me to pay a parkland dedication fee equivalent to 7% of the land value that the city can use in the future to build and maintain new parklands. We know what we paid for the land several years ago. That value has probably changed over time and will require a new appraisal to be determined. The value of land is often affected by the cost to get the land into a shovel ready
