In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 3rd, 2023... a new surge in job openings and job creation, a big drop in investor activity, and a new legal battle over short-term rentals in New York City.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news and several reports on the strength of the job market. The government reports that companies created a whopping 339,000 new jobs in May. That's a sign of strength for the job market, but the report also shows a surge in unemployment from 3.4% to 3.7%. That's the highest jobless reading since October. Some economists see that as a potential warning sign.   But job market resilience is also showing up in a report on job openings which rose from a revised 9.7 million in March to a three-month high of 10.1 million in April. Wall Street Journal economists had forecast a drop in job openings to 9.5 million. (1)   Job openings increased the most for retail, health care, transportation, and warehousing. They were down for manufacturing, government, leisure and hospitality. When comparing job openings to the number of unemployed workers, they rose in April from 1.7 to 1.8 openings per person. The Fed would like to see those numbers at a pre-pandemic level of 1.2. (2)   The weekly unemployment report shows only a slight increase in claims. Applications were up 2,000 to 232,000. The takeaway from all this – the labor market is showing strength overall, with businesses hiring and no word of major layoffs. That's not exactly what the Fed wants to see. It's hoping for a weakening of the job market in its fight against inflation. (3)   Builders are among those contributing to job market strength. The Commerce Department reports that construction spending was up 1.2% in April. That's much higher than a Wall Street forecast of .1%. The numbers break down to a .5% monthly increase for private residential construction but that includes a .8% decrease for single-family and a .6% increase for multi-family. The construction industry contributed 64,000 of those new jobs in May. (4)   Home prices are still moving higher. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national index shows a .4% increase in March. The Southeast shows the strongest price growth, thanks to strong demand for housing and potential sellers who don't want to list their homes right now. The 20-city index was up .5%. A few of the cities showing the strongest price growth were Tampa at 4.8%, Charlotte at 4.7%, and Atlanta at 4.5%. On the flip side, Seattle prices are down 12.4%. San Francisco prices have also fallen by almost as much at 11.2%. (5)   Consumers are showing more concern about the economy. The Conference Board says consumer confidence was down in May to a six-month low. (6)   Mortgage Rates   High mortgage rates are one of the things consumers are worried about. And they spiked a bit last week ahead of another potential rate hike by the Fed this month. Freddie Mac says the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was up 22 basis points to 6.79%. The 15-year was up 21 points to 6.18%. (7)    In other news making headlines…   Record Slowdown for Investor Home Purchases   Many investors are sitting on the sidelines as interest rates rise and home values fall. Redfin says investor home purchases shrank almost 50% year-over-year in the first quarter. But investors are still accumulating a large share of homes, buying up 18% of homes that sold in the first quarter. That's higher than pre-pandemic percentages, but down slightly from a peak of 20% last year. (8)   The Redfin analysis covers 40 of the most populated metros in the nation, and includes both institutional and individual investors. But one Redfin agent says there isn't much activity from the Wall Street investors. The agent from Jacksonville, Florida, says: “Some smaller companies and mom-and-pop investors are still active in the market, but the big corporations aren't buying anymore.”   Redfin expects to see investor activity slow further as interest rates rise. Of course, investors with cash aren't feeling that kind of restraint.    Short-Term Rental War Heats Up in New York City   The battle over short-term rentals is escalating in New York City. Airbnb is suing the city for what it says is an “extreme and oppressive” law that the city plans to begin enforcing next month. It claims that the law is confusing and conflicts with Federal law that protects websites from liability for content posted by users. The New York Times also reports that three Airbnb hosts have filed similar lawsuits for a law that they say is too complicated.    The Big Apple is a huge market for Airbnb with more than 38,500 active listings and $85 million in revenue last year. The company argues that short-term rentals are important for tourism and for hosts who need extra income. The city says it is committed to preserving permanent housing as it deals with a lack of housing for residents.   Other cities have fought similar short-term rental battles including Santa Monica, Boston, and San Francisco. Airbnb worked out a deal in Santa Monica to be sure that listings are registered with the City, and according to the Times, Santa Monica is currently looking at ways to expand the number of legal Airbnb listings.   You can get more information on all these stories by following links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

The Wall Street Journal finally reported on something that investors and lenders have known for more than nine months.  The rapid rise in interest rates has created a structural problem for commercial real estate.  The issue goes far beyond the headline that nearly $1.5T in commercial real estate debt is vulnerable to default in the next three years.  The punch line of the article is that lenders are prone to foreclosing on these loans because the issues with office occupancy are not likely to be resolved anytime soon.  Unfortunately the simplified reporting completely neglects the fact that the lender is not some rich dude who can withstand the loss with no consequences to everyday citizens.  The counter party risk that was present in 2008 is still present today.  Why is that?

Today we had the pleasure of visiting with Thomas Fox, President and Director of Innovation at Highwood Emissions Management. Thomas has an impressive academic and commercial background in emissions and from our previous interactions with him, we knew he could tackle the issues in a measured way that would help us all. While obtaining his Ph.D., Thomas invented LDAR-Sim (Leak Detection and Repair Simulator) – it is now used widely by industry, regulators, and innovators to approve new technologies and understand how to deploy them. Headquartered in Calgary, Highwood works with producers, technology solution providers, and regulators to tackle the challenge of emission management solutions. Our discussion centered around an in-depth presentation by Thomas. In the presentation, Thomas covers the multiple motivations for why oil and gas companies are paying more attention to emissions, the complexity of measuring emissions and the technology involved, how to reduce emissions and get the best value for your spend, how to prove that you've reduced emissions (and get the credit for it), and how to prepare for the future and the future of the emissions monitoring landscape. After Thomas's presentation, we discuss how emissions will be factored into M&A activity, where the intensity of emissions is highest, how companies analyze opportunities to decarbonize vs. the cost of mitigation, and the competitive technology landscape. As you will hear, Thomas anticipates methane from oil and gas in North America will be largely solved in the next five years. We want to thank Thomas for joining us today and for providing such a detailed analysis. Mike Bradley kicked us off by highlighting that last week, traders were focused on two macro events, the OPEC+ meeting and the US Debt Ceiling Deal. He flagged OPEC+ agreed to cut crude production by 1mmbpd, with Saudi Arabia taking on all the cuts starting in July. Since October 2022, OPEC quota reductions total ~3mmbpd and the recent cuts primarily relate to 2H'23 demand concerns. Mike also flagged global S/D deficit estimated for 2H'23 is ~1.5mmbpd, and that these additional production cuts would ensure global inventories draw substantially in 2H'23 and should provide a crude oil floor. He then noted the US debt ceiling deal initially boosted bonds, commodities, and equities, but there hasn't been follow through since. Mike wrapped by noting the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is trading at historically low levels, indicating equity markets are dialing in low risk levels, and that energy companies pursuing aggressive buybacks may want to consider retaining more cash on their balance sheets for future opportunities. Todd Scruggs joined for today's discussion and added his thoughts around a recent Goldman Sachs report that lowers the odds of a recession, along with a Wall Street Journal article discussing ESG proposals to address scope 3 emissions and the vote outcomes. He also noted the equity market breadth remains narrow, with buying centered on a handful of AI/tech related equities.We learned a lot in our conversation with Thomas and hope you will find it as useful and informative as we did. Our best to you all!

Happy Employees, Happy Customers Shep Hyken interviews Tiffani Bova, bestselling author and global customer growth and innovation evangelist at Salesforce. She discusses the link between employee experience, customer experience, and company growth. Top Takeaways:  Spending time with your customers is a great opportunity to understand their challenges, share best practices, and learn from them.  Employee experience (EX) has a significant impact not only on customer experience but on overall business growth. In a blind study conducted on a US retailer with more than 1,000 storefronts, Salesforce research found that if the company got the EX right, there was a 50% increase in revenue per hour per store associate. If you are going to do something for your customers to enhance their experience, make sure you recognize its intended or unintended impact on your employees. When you implement changes to improve CX, make sure you are not increasing the difficulty for your employees to do their jobs.  Companies have over-pivoted the customer experience at the expense of all else. You need to be flexible because when you pivot, you turn your back on something. 54% of the C-Suite believe that the technology their employees use is effective for them to do their job. Only 32% of employees agree with that statement, and only 20-ish% of customer-facing employees agree. To bridge the disconnect between the C-suite and the frontlines, executives need to spend more time understanding the experiences of both their customers and their employees. Do an inventory of the top five KPIs you are currently tracking for customer experience and see if you have a correlating one for employee experience. For example, if you are measuring Net Promoter Score (NPS), pay attention to Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS). Tiffani shares highlights from her latest book, The Experience Mindset: Changing the Way You Think About Growth, including an intentional approach to happy employees for every team in your organization. Plus, Shep and Tiffani share what happens when executives actually spend time with customers (with examples from Starbucks and Microsoft). Tune in! Quote: "Many executives don't use the tech their employees use. They do not experience inefficiency, yet they are very focused on productivity. They focus on the customers, but they are not aware of what systems, tools, and training are in place that allow or inhibit their employees to be the best that they could be."  About:  Tiffani Bova is the global customer growth and innovation evangelist at Salesforce. She is the Wall Street Journal, bestselling author of Growth IQ. Her latest book, The Experience Mindset: Changing the Way You Think About Growth, is now available on Amazon.

Today's interview is with Tiffani Bova, the global customer growth and innovation evangelist at Salesforce, and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Growth IQ. Tiffani joins me today to talk about her new book: The Experience Mindset: Changing the Way You Think About Growth, what is an Experience Mindset, what's the best way to adopt one, why it's important to take a combined customer and employee experience approach, the research that accompanied the development of the book and what's the payoff to adopting an Experience Mindset. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Customer experience (CX) leaders will become the engagement quarterbacks of the future – Interview with Mike Murchison of Ada – and is number 468 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

La semana pasada ingresó en una penitenciaría federal situada en Texas Elizabeth Holmes, fundadora de la empresa Theranos y protagonista de uno de los mayores escándalos corporativos de los últimos años. Holmes fue declarada culpable hace año y medio por un jurado de engañar a los inversores de su empresa, una start-up californiana ya desaparecida que afirmaba haber revolucionado los análisis de sangre. Meses más tarde, en noviembre del año pasado, un juez federal la condenó a once años y tres meses de cárcel. Holmes recurrió la sentencia para retrasar su ingreso en prisión, pero de nada le valió, el juez decretó que antes del 30 de mayo tenía que presentarse en la cárcel. Aparte de eso tendrá que pagar 452 millones de dólares a las víctimas del fraude. La caída de Holmes, la empresaria de moda en Silicon Valley hace menos de diez años, estuvo provocada por una serie de reportajes que publicó el Wall Street Journal entre 2015 y 2016. El diario neoyorquino detalló como la máquina de análisis que había patentado Theranos no sólo no funcionaba, sino que además ponía en riesgo la vida de los pacientes. Theranos negó rotundamente lo que contaba el Journal y amenazó al periódico con acciones judiciales que quedaron en nada. Entre tanto hizo desaparecer pruebas y se apresuró a llegar a un acuerdo con los que habían invertido millones de dólares en la empresa y los reguladores federales. Pero el acuerdo no evitó el juicio. Holmes y su socio, el programador pakistaní Sunny Balwani, fueron encausados en junio de 2018 por nueve cargos penales y dos de conspiración. Ambos negaron de plano haber hecho nada mal, pero la empresa se vino abajo rápidamente. Sólo tres meses después se disolvió en medio de un gran escándalo ya que gente muy significada de la política y las finanzas había apoyado a Theranos y, especialmente, a su fundadora, a quien tenían como una especie de genio empresarial de nuestro tiempo al nivel de Steve Jobs o Jeff Bezos. La prensa adoraba a la empresa de Holmes y a la propia Holmes. En su mejor momento, justo antes de que estallase el escándalo, la revista Time la incluyó en la lista de las cien personas más influyentes del mundo. La revista Forbes le concedió un premio y la colocó en su lista de las mujeres más poderosas del planeta. La cadena Bloomberg no quiso quedarse atrás y le franqueó la entrada al exclusivo ranking de los 50 más influyentes cuando no había cumplido aún los 30 años. Holmes estaba muy bien conectada y se había fabricado incluso un personaje público. Se presentaba como una persona fría y distante siempre vestida de negro. Esa imagen cuidadosamente trabajada la catapultó a la fama. No era para menos, el sistema que había creado para hacer análisis de sangre era revolucionario, bastaba con unas gotas de sangre que una máquina diseñada al efecto se encargaría de analizar en poco tiempo y arrojar resultados. Los inversores se entusiasmaron empujando a la empresa a una valoración altísima, de más de 10.000 millones de dólares en su momento álgido. Gracias a eso Holmes se convirtió en una multimillonaria jovencísima. En 2015 su patrimonio ascendía a 4.500 millones de dólares y su compañía se la rifaban empresarios, periodistas, universidades, políticos y grandes inversores. Todo el dinero y la fama se evaporaron en sólo unos meses. Para hablar de este escándalo que tanta tinta ha hecho correr vuelve hoy a La ContraCrónica Andrea Martos, que está de visita en Madrid y que conoce el tema de Theranos muy a fondo. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Hispanos.

BIO: Jack Farley is the host of the Forward Guidance podcast. He is interested in all things liquidity, macro, and central banking.STORY: Jack bought a lot of put options on the markets and individual stocks, notably Tesla, in February 2020 when the market was bearish. When the market crashed in March 2020, Jack made so much money. But, soon, the market started going up, and his position dropped to zero.LEARNING: Don't view the market as a place to create wealth; view it as a place to grow it. Don't confuse being lucky with being an intelligent investor. “When you get a windfall, realize those gains, and at the very least, trim the position down.”Jack Farley Guest profileJack Farley is the host of the Forward Guidance podcast. He is interested in all things liquidity, macro, and central banking. Jack graduated from Brown University with a degree in Economics and has done nearly 500 long-form interviews on investing and macroeconomics.Worst investment everJack had gotten quite bearish on the market in January and February 2020. So he bought a lot of put options on the markets and individual stocks, notably Tesla. All individual stocks crashed throughout early March 2020. Jack made so much more money than he ever thought was possible.He continued consuming this bearish macro content from CNBC, Bloomberg, and the Wall Street Journal. When the stock market rallied from March 23 to April 1, Jack was told it was just a bear market rally and believed it. But the market continued to grind higher, and Jack's position kept falling until it reached zero.Lessons learnedKnow the difference between winning because you were smart and made the right decision and when you were lucky.It's really tough to beat the market.The ultimate hack is to beat the stock market and then invest in the S&P 500 for the rest of your life.When you get a windfall, and you're lucky enough to win the day, don't assume it's because you're so smart because, most likely, you're not.Andrew's takeawaysSet up your wealth creation engine.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/06/2023): 3:05pm- According to a report from Katelynn Richardson of The Daily Caller, “[a] federal judge sided Tuesday with families who sued over Florida's ban on gender transition procedures for minors, declaring that ‘gender identity is real.' A group of families, backed by several LGBT activist groups, sued Florida in March shortly after the rule restricting minors from accessing surgical sex change procedures, puberty blockers and hormone therapy took effect. Northern District of Florida Judge Robert L. Hinkle, a Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction against the law to prohibit it from being enforced against the plaintiffs, and proceeded to make the claim that ‘great weight of medical authority supports these treatments.'” You can read Richardson's full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/06/judge-gender-identity-florida-injunction/ 3:30pm- While speaking with the press, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby refused to answer questions about a Washington Post report that stated the United States had intelligence detailing a Ukrainian plot to attack the Nord Stream pipeline three months before it was ultimately attacked. 3:40pm- Aaron Maté—journalist at RealClearInvestigation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Russiagate Prober Durham Neglected DNC Hack Claim, Despite Evidence It Too Was a Democrat Sham.” Maté writes: “Special Counsel John Durham's final report faults the FBI for opening the Trump-Russia collusion investigation on baseless grounds and relying on Hillary Clinton-funded material to pursue it, all while ignoring a warning that Clinton was plotting to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Yet Durham does not address the Clinton campaign's equally central tie to Russiagate's other foundational allegation: that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking Democratic party servers and releasing the material through Wikileaks to help elect Trump.” You can read Maté's full article here: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/06/06/what_durham_skipped_903673.html 4:05pm- Jed Rubenfeld—Professor at Yale Law School & First Amendment expert—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial in The Wall Street Journal, “The Big Tech Censorship Machine is Running in 2024.” Professor Rubenfeld writes, “Meta slapped 180-day suspensions last week on the Instagram accounts of people working for Democrat Robert F.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending May 27th, 2023... you'll get the latest reading on inflation, how much home prices have come down in a year, and the long-awaited opening of Amazon's HQ2.    Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news from this past week. Minutes from the Fed's May meeting offer a few insights. They reveal that several officials believe we may not need more rate hikes to get inflation back down to the 2% level. Forward guidance also indicates a pause in hikes at the June meeting, although some Fed officials say rate hikes have not been ruled out. (1) And, with the latest report on inflation, there's new concern that the Fed could be inclined to hike rates again.    The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released the April reading on the PCE index. It shows it going in the wrong direction ahead of the Fed's next meeting. The index was up .4% and raises the annual rate from 4.2% to 4.4%. The core rate was also a disappointment. It eliminates prices for food and fuel, and was up .4% to an annual rate of 4.7%. The PCE is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, so it will play an important role in their next rate hike decision. (2)   The Fed minutes also offer a recession forecast, predicting a mild recession in the fourth quarter of this year. A moderately priced recovery would follow with unemployment set to increase this year, and then peak next year. Those numbers would start coming down in 2025, according to Fed officials. But they also acknowledged that the impact of the tightening process would be lagging, and that close monitoring of incoming data is essential. (3)   Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester spoke out on Friday after the PCE was released, and said the data shows the Fed has “more work to do.” She believes that the central bank will need to rate rates again, while other Fed officials appear to be undecided. (4)   Jobless claims pulled back from the previous week, after a major crackdown on fraudulent claims in Massachusetts. The latest report shows 229,000 applications for benefits. That's up 4,000 from the revised numbers for that surge in claims. As MarketWatch reports: “Jobless claims show little or no sign of rising U.S. layoffs since the early spring.” (5)   Consumer spending has kept a recession at bay, and April was no exception. Consumers shelled out .8% more money in April, which was double the amount that Wall Street Journal analysts had forecast. A lot of the money went toward new cars, but also for travel, recreation, and other services. As reported by MarketWatch, that's a sign of confidence in the economy. (6)   Consumers also spent money buying new homes. New home sales were up 4.1% in April, according to the Commerce Department. That brings the annual rate up to 683,000 from a revised 656,000 in March. That number is seasonally adjusted, and reflects the “pace” of construction and how many homes would be built if that pace continued for the entire year. (7)   One thing driving consumers to new homes is the low inventory of existing for-sale homes. The National Association of Realtors reports that pending home sales were flat for the month of April thanks to a shortage of those homes, and high mortgage rates. (8)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates have continued to rise. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was up 18 basis points to 6.57%. The 15-year was up 22 points to 5.97%. (9) The Mortgage News Daily reports a higher average of 7.14% for the 30-year and 6.54% for the 15-year. (10)   In other news making headlines…   High Home Prices Slowly Deflating   Although home buyers are still struggling with affordability issues, home prices are deflating. Redfin reports that U.S. prices are down about 4.1% nationwide or close to $18,000 for the average home. That brings the median sale price down from $426,000 last year, to approximately $408,000 this year. (11)   But some markets are seeing steeper declines, mostly because prices went sky-high previously, especially during the pandemic. In Oakland, for example, prices have come down 16% or about $174,000 for a typical home. In Boise, Idaho, the average home costs about $80,000 less than it did at the same time last year. And some markets have actually seen prices rise over the past year. According to Redfin, Tampa home prices were up 5.0% in April compared to last year, selling for a median price of $420K. On average, homes in Tampa sell after 22 days on the market compared to 7 days last year.    Amazon HQ2 Is Now Open for Business!   It was five years ago that Amazon solicited bids from various cities as it searched for the perfect place to build a second headquarters. Well, the day has finally arrived that Amazon's HQ2 has launched, and is welcoming its first employees.   The winning city was Arlington, Virginia which now has more than two million square feet of new Amazon office space. The company has been bringing employees into temporary office space and is now transferring them to the new complex. Amazon expects to have 8,000 people working there by this fall, with a total of 12,500 working there eventually.   Starting May 1st, Amazon required that employees work in offices at least three days a week. The new digs feature some amazing amenities however including two rooftop dog parks and a 2.5 acre park with another dog park. That's because Amazon employees are allowed to bring their dogs to work!
