longislandrealestate: What Impact will the 38 Trillion Dollar Debt have on our Real Estate?
- 03/06/26 11:19 AM
What impact will the thirty-eight trillion dollar debt have on U.S. real estate here on Long Island and across the U.S.? Interest rates, borrowing costs, inflation, investor confidence, and fiscal policy limits. Higher Interest and Mortgage RatesOne of the most direct links between high government debt and real estate is through interest rates. When national debt grows, the government must issue more Treasury bonds to finance it. To attract buyers, yields (returns) on those bonds need to stay competitive. This pushes interest rates higher. Mortgage rates generally move in line with long-term Treasury yields. Many analysts now think mortgage rates are unlikely to return to … (1 comments)

Moreover, financially, they just can’t afford the current prices. Mortgage rates have been hovering between 6.5% and 7%.

longislandrealestate: How has the market been this past September?
- 11/11/24 05:19 PM

It appears that the demand is still insatiable for those who still have the need or as some call it fomo (fear of missing out) in purchasing a home. However, the number of homes sold decreased from 8915 to 8,254, a 7.4% decrease. The lack of inventory can be directly attributed to these statistics. Although interest rates are lower than last year, the decrease in the Fed rate by ½% … (0 comments)
