Topics
Ed Elson: 我认为美国房屋建筑商的信心已降至 2022 年以来的最低水平,这主要是因为关税导致建造成本增加。由于关税,建造房屋变得更加昂贵,而且我们正面临一场住房危机,因为四分之三的美国人买不起中等价位的房子。只有那些也能负担得起第二套房子的人才能真正负担得起房子,因此首次购房者的比例创历史新低。美国住房仍然非常难以负担,而且我们尚未看到任何迹象表明这种情况会发生改变。 Rick Palacios Jr.: 我认为年初对房屋建筑商的销售量和单户住宅建设持负面展望,因为我们认为他们年初的库存过多,并且计划是基于利率会下降的希望。如果抵押贷款利率接近 7%,转售供应将会增加,这将开始侵蚀你的市场份额,你将不得不与转售市场竞争。转售市场决定了我在销售和定价趋势方面能做什么。现在我们正处于一个十字路口,许多房屋建筑商意识到转售市场实际上已经回归,利率没有下降,供应将持续存在,我们需要控制住局面。今年上半年(尤其是春季)通常是住房市场(尤其是房屋建筑商)一年中较强劲的季节。如果你认为利率和供应会继续在这种利率环境下走高,那么今年下半年的情况可能会比上半年更糟,而上半年的情况并不好。

Chapters
The podcast opens by discussing the phenomenon of employees constantly receiving work messages and attending meetings outside of regular work hours. A rebranding of this 'Infinite Workday' to 'The American Dream' is humorously proposed.
  • Average employees receive 50 work messages outside of business hours
  • Meetings after 8 pm are up 16%
  • 1 in 5 meetings occur outside of 9-5 hours
