> The Bottom Line
June 9 (thestreet.com) – “Goldman Sachs chief U.S. economist David Mericle published a note on June 6 removing the bank’s two 2026 rate cut calls and replacing them with two quarter-point reductions in June and December 2027, according to Bloomberg. The trigger was May’s employment report. The U.S. economy added 172,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in May, well above the 80,000 to 85,000 economists had projected. The unemployment rate held at 4.3% for a third consecutive month. Goldman concluded the data gave the Federal Reserve no reason to ease policy this year.”
Deja Vu all over again for new home builders. Builders continue to provide incentives to buyers. Price incentives for upgrades and lower mortgage rate financing spotlight the new construction home buying option. As always, buyers MUST pay attention to the upgrades and SHOULD NOT EXCEED 20% of the base price.
