Zillow’s newest housing market forecast reveals a decline in dwelling costs over the following yr after a really gradual spring homebuying season. Whereas spring is historically the most well liked time of the housing market, with extra sellers and consumers hitting the market without delay, this yr was stunted considerably. Will this development proceed as housing stock stays at rock-bottom ranges, or are issues regularly bettering, with a return to normalcy in sight? We’ve bought Dr. Skylar Olsen, Chief Economist at Zillow, on to share the newest forecast and which markets may very well be in hassle.
With mortgage charges nonetheless hovering round seven %, homebuyers and sellers are caught. Sellers don’t wish to commerce right into a costlier mortgage fee, and consumers can’t afford in the present day’s median dwelling worth. Consequently, some under-the-radar, reasonably priced actual property markets are seeing dwelling and lease costs improve, whereas some historically sizzling markets are already seeing worth corrections.
The place will the following correction hit, and which markets can have probably the most alternative for actual property traders? Skylar explains all of it, plus why Zillow up to date their latest dwelling worth forecast to point out a DROP in dwelling values over the following yr.
Dave:
The spring shopping for season is an excellent necessary time for your entire actual property business, however during the last couple of years it hasn’t been as sizzling because it usually was.

And lastly, we’ll after all pull out our crystal ball as we do with many of the economists and talk about what we expect will occur for the remainder of the yr and into 2025. Let’s convey on Dr. Skylar Olsen.
Skylar, welcome to the BiggerPockets Podcast Community. Thanks for becoming a member of us.
Skylar:
Properly, thanks a lot for having me. We’re
Dave:
First going to begin by speaking in regards to the spring shopping for season. Are you able to simply give us some context? What’s the spring shopping for season within the first place?
Skylar:
Yeah, actually shopping for season ramps up within the very early spring. We first begin to see present homeowners put listings onto the market in January and February. It begins constructing out of that vacation season, nevertheless it hits the crescendo pre pandemic at round April and Might today a little bit bit later. Really extra like April or excuse me, could and June is after we get probably the most listings from present homeowners of the course of that season. So we’re type of cussing and transferring in direction of the slowdown at this very second, however we really see additional slowdown now as a result of mortgage charges are up type of close to 7% and that places an actual cooling impact on that purchaser.
Dave:
And what influence does this busy spring shopping for season have on the general housing market in regular instances, like again earlier than the pandemic?
Skylar:
So let me offer you type of a ballpark quantity. If we’re considering nationally within the month of Might pandemic, we used to see over 1,000,000 properties drop into the market from present homeowners. Okay. It is a time frame the place rates of interest went from 3% as much as 7%. So we’ve bought quite a lot of present homeowners wanting to carry onto these low charges. So this, we solely noticed a little bit over 400,000 ever since mortgage charges have surged up, that present proprietor has pulled again. Now Might is the crescendo month the place we see probably the most listings come on-line. So subsequent month we really count on to see about 90,000 much less, after which it type of cascades into the yr we see the fewest listings come on in November and December. These are the vacations we’ve wrapped up. We’re accomplished. Residence procuring season can also be through the summer time as a result of that’s if you wish to be transferring.
You don’t wish to be carrying your containers through the snow and through the rain. And after we undergo a house procuring season, you higher imagine the housing economists on the market and actually, brokers and any housing skilled mortgage officers are watching it very intently, particularly today to see whether or not or not this exercise goes to begin coming again. As a result of as I discussed, we’re down from what was regular. We’re about 23% down from what was regular, however that’s really means higher than at its worst after we had been round 36% down nationally. In order that’s an enchancment and it’s steadily slowly bettering from right here
Dave:
And 36% down, that’s from its peak within the pandemic or down from what
Skylar:
In April of final yr, we had 36% fewer properties from present homeowners than in April pre pandemic. Acquired it. So like a typical April of 2018 and 2019, which was our final regular housing market, as a result of proper earlier than the pre pandemic we had been about to name it by way of the restoration from the final housing cycle, which was a protracted and a really large one. So 2018 to 2019 pretty regular. After which now since mortgage charges have surged up, we’re down 23%, however again final yr we had been down 36%. So to be solely down 23 is the advance. After which what we’re ready for is that to come back all the way in which again as much as simply zero, proper again to regular, and that’s regular and gradual. We’re up loads from final yr. That’s most likely a means that you simply hear that reported actually typically. In order that type of quantity is like, oh, we’re 13% extra new listings from present homeowners than final yr.
However as I simply talked about, final yr was our lowest yr by way of that rate of interest lock-in by way of that proprietor actually simply feeling prefer it wasn’t the time to surrender that charge. It’s getting a little bit higher now as a result of a time passes. These present homeowners had issues occur of their lives. They bought divorced, they’d youngsters, their youngsters turned youngsters and began preventing over the toilet sink. All kinds of issues that occur in your life that make you need that subsequent dwelling and make that low rate of interest simply much less and fewer value it. And in order time goes on, we get much less locked in from that rate of interest. And so we’re beginning to see extra new listings come on-line. The issue is rates of interest stay close to 7% and bounce round loads, and that purchaser is de facto struggling to maneuver ahead. It’s actually exhausting to afford a home that’s 7% rate of interest, and so costs are tender. Our forecast is that costs will come down very mildly, really. It’s only a tender down 1.4%, however that’ll nonetheless give the customer a little bit of a respiration room. Properties are spending a little bit bit extra time in the marketplace, a little bit bit extra worth cuts, however in the end we’re nonetheless tight on stock, however issues are getting a little bit higher, however we’re nonetheless tight on stock.
Dave:
Yeah. So do you assume that the typical dwelling purchaser, the typical investor, will really feel that improve in stock yr over yr by way of competitors or negotiating leverage after they’re attempting to purchase a house?
Skylar:
For those who had been collaborating final yr and also you had been lively, yeah, you’ll really feel it as a result of relative to that time frame, issues I feel actually will really feel like they’re loosening up. Nationally, your properties are spending three days longer in the marketplace than they had been final yr. That may not appear to be loads, however we had been at solely 10 days. So three extra days from 10, that’s comparatively talking, a bit extra respiration room there from final yr. In order that extra stock might be felt by somebody who has been collaborating. Let’s say we’re out there through the warmth, warmth, warmth of the pandemic when rates of interest had been actually low, looking for your alternative, however competitors was very fierce. Oh, it’ll really feel means higher than that. Completely. That was actually a coal down from that one. However in case you had been procuring, say pre pandemic, and then you definately bought nervous by simply all of it, proper? Pandemic cheap time frame to be unsure although usually that’s what when traders simply are actually necessary a part of the market, they’ll take part when issues are dangerous and then you definately easy out the market and it finally ends up not being as unstable. In order that’s usually what economists assume the function of the investor is after we undergo one thing loopy just like the pandemic. However in case you had been a mother and pop landlord and also you’ve been sitting it out and also you haven’t been within the housing market since pre pandemic, it’ll really really feel sizzling.
Dave:
What you’re sharing right here is that their stock goes up largely as a result of life occasions, however we’re nonetheless very low by way of whole stock in a historic context, do you assume that stock goes to proceed to development upward?
Skylar:
Yeah. Yeah, I feel I do. Particularly if the mortgage charges stay elevated, individuals are anticipating it to come back down, however let’s simply keep within the close to future as a result of that has been pushed off extra to the top of the yr by way of when the Fed would possibly give us a break. So let’s simply say mortgage charges keep round this time period, the customer remains to be hesitant as a result of that’s an affordability problem and time goes on for that vendor. The vendor is also watching, we’ve been saying that mortgage charges would come down for some time and but they haven’t. In order that helps additionally shake the vendor expectation that charges will come down in order that vendor begins to return stock. Slackens, proper, begins to return. That pool of obtainable properties will increase in order that when the customer reveals up, there’s extra to see. I feel properties will spend a little bit bit extra time in the marketplace and issues will ease.
And if we’re in that holding sample right here, that may be a regular and gradual path to a more healthy and extra secure housing marketplace for positive into that close to future. Now, I feel that’s a good evaluation for the following few months as a result of usually after we head into an election, lots of people cease making main choices. So it’s this holding sample and regular return. Mortgage charges most likely gained’t do something loopy earlier than then, however the election throws its personal type of wrench and stability it doesn’t matter what yr, it doesn’t matter what election. And we’ve bought quite a lot of elections throughout the board arising. We will hardly crystal ball it, however there are situations the place we get a charge minimize on the finish of the yr by the Fed. The market thinks we’ll get two charge cuts from the Fed. The Fed says one charge minimize, the Federal Reserve operates financial coverage.
So after they minimize their coverage charge, the Fed funds charge, that may trickle by means of to mortgage charges in order that mortgage charges come down. That’s what we’re anticipating. But it surely’s additionally attainable too that we would not get that. In order that’s the extra holding sample aspect the place we’re simply on this for longer. However let’s say we get that charge minimize, mortgage charges may come down, that I feel would assist the vendor return as properly. So then I feel we’d see new listings from present homeowners enhance even quicker. The controversy turns into does the customer return with the identical alacrity or with the identical gusto?
Dave:
So that you assume that the controversy is extra on the customer aspect than the vendor aspect? It appears to me like if charges went down, after all there’d be extra demand. The query to me is that if there’s going to be extra provide,
Skylar:
Properly, no, no. Properly, I imply the relative measurement of it, I feel the controversy is what occurs to costs, proper? As a result of if provide begins, I feel the availability may undoubtedly return. There’ll be fewer homeowners locked in when that charge comes down. I feel there are lots. I say time goes on, however they nonetheless have an incentive to carry. In order that charge comes down, that incentive modifications as properly. So each issues begin serving to the vendor comeback. The controversy I feel, is who’s stronger, whose return is stronger? As a result of if the customer, there are quite a lot of them too. There’s an enormous era of millennials who wish to develop into the primary time dwelling purchaser. If when mortgage charges fall, they return with quite a lot of curiosity, then stock, which is the pool of properties obtainable at anybody time that displays are costs growing or not. If the customer comes again with the identical pace as the vendor comes again, that stock can stay low as a result of the customer drains it simply as quick as we will replenish that pool after which which means costs don’t fall, proper? So it’s exhausting to think about a scenario the place costs right in a short time with out getting quite a lot of financial stress with out the R phrase recession. So and not using a recession, it’s exhausting to think about that costs within the housing market will fall as a result of this purchaser and vendor return with the mortgage charge. And in order that’s what I imply by debate is like, properly, costs may stay relying on who’s stronger of their return, proper? Yeah, there’s loads ready.
Dave:
Alright, so we now have to take a fast break, however we’ll be proper again with extra of Skylar Olsen’s market insights proper after this. Welcome again traders. Let’s bounce again into our market replace with Dr. Skylar Olsen. Properly, I noticed just lately that Zillow up to date its forecast to now be projecting a 1% decline in housing costs from Might, 2024 to 2025. Are you able to inform us a little bit bit about what went into that change in your forecast?
Skylar:
So our forecast has two parts to it. There’s momentum. So what are we seeing in all of our time sequence that assist us predict the long run? So that may be issues like watching the brand new listings return after which we’re modeling that ahead new listings returning quicker than we see gross sales return. That stock will increase. These are momentum close to time period time sequence that we type of relate to that worth development after which that helps flip that down. Different issues that circulation in that means are issues like assume share of listings with the value minimize, assume the variety of clicks from folks on the location. So a purchaser say procuring on zillow.com relative to the variety of listings that we, in order that’s a requirement metric that flows into the forecast. All that’s momentum and the way that ought to circulation in by means of what costs do. After which there’s this different aspect which is extra structural.
So we additionally forecast out and mannequin, say mortgage charges and inhabitants development, which is a giant aspect. That’s the basic demand in housing after which additionally unemployment and people extra R phrase numbers and all these circulation by means of the issues that basically push that forecast down was the return in stock. So by way of that pool of properties obtainable relative to final yr, that’s up 22%, proper? So stock seems prefer it’s returning loads relative to that very, very low base relative to say regular instances after we simply had a lot extra stock. Usually, it’s nonetheless recovering pretty slowly, however relative to final yr, anybody who was procuring final yr, it’ll begin to really feel way more gradual and that impacts that worth development. After which additionally share of listings with a worth minimize could be very elevated proper now. And it has been elevated for, I’d say the previous three months, do that on a regular basis. They bounce round, they got here right down to round six and a half and so they went again as much as seven and above seven. Ever since that second we’ve seen share of listings with a worth minimize simply stay elevated as properly.
Dave:
And that’s only for this one yr. I feel, right me if I’m improper, however from what I’ve seen from zi, you challenge one yr out. Yeah. Is that kind of the extent of the correction you see 1% over one yr or what occurs after Might of 2025?
Skylar:
Oh no. Fascinating. Yeah, really internally and I feel publicly we’d be completely satisfied to launch it as properly. We challenge out two years with the sort of modeling, this momentum plus a little bit bit extra construction. However fortunately, it actually is dependent upon who you might be as a result of if I’m a primary time dwelling purchaser, I most likely don’t wish to hear, oh yeah, no, after this yr we count on it to type of return to flat and average development. However in case you’re an present proprietor and hoping that you simply’re at your high of fairness additionally what’s happening right here? Now we have large quantities of fairness that sellers, or excuse me, can be sellers are holding onto. These homeowners are holding onto quite a lot of alternative, quite a lot of wealth that was created there. That’s, I feel, I don’t wish to say protected, however it is rather exhausting to get a forecast extra destructive than what we’re seeing proper now.
Acquired it. We additionally modeled situations, make it actually a horrible macro setting. That’s why we now have these two separate concepts. There’s momentum from all the issues that ought to influence costs, like provide and alerts from agent pricing and pending all that. After which additionally that structural. So the structural stuff the place we are saying what’s going to mortgage charges do? What is going to unemployment do? What is going to inhabitants development do this? To make use of that, we will calibrate it. We will say, properly, we now have a baseline, however what if it goes as a result of very exhausting to forecast mortgages. What if it goes improper? And even when we put mortgage charges, you must put ’em actually excessive as much as 8% or 9% to get that forecast to be considerably destructive.
Dave:
And is that true even with the labor market? A query I get rather a lot is how if the Fed will get kind of what does desires with the softer labor market, are we going to see a decline in demand and subsequent softness in housing costs?
Skylar:
Yeah, I imply we may actually, we may particularly since you’d begin to see it regionally and even now we see tender costs regionally. For instance, Zillow just lately launched our market warmth index, which captures a number of the metrics that I talked about that went into our forecast share of listings with the value minimize, the variety of customers, consumers clicking on properties relative to the properties which can be obtainable and the proportion of properties that promote actually quick. So these three issues seize this market warmth, whether or not or not consumers or sellers have the sting in a market, we name it the market warmth index, proper? Okay. So there are very restricted locations that we’re keen to say our purchaser’s markets nationally remains to be a vendor’s market relative to its historical past and this expertise on these metrics. However in case you go to Florida, there are many purchaser’s markets down in Florida, Memphis, Tennessee went most likely too sizzling over the course of the pandemic is now could be cooling off rather a lot.
New Orleans has struggled all through the pandemic and stays very tender. And now you’re beginning to see very southern Texas develop into a purchaser’s market as properly. So there are these pockets, let’s say we go into recession that may have nationwide numbers with larger unemployment charges and we’ll all speak about that being a priority. However there might be metros which have a lot larger unemployment charges, proper? As a result of totally different industries might be impacted extra. And so that may occur by the way in which, by way of the place else are costs nonetheless falling? So perhaps there’s a possibility do you have to wish to bounce in now and anticipate a return. Take into consideration downtown. So these downtown areas, if I have a look at a zipper code map of just about any, not each however nearly any main metropolitan space within the US dwelling costs have been falling and proceed to fall in these type of central cores. And you may make a wager that that liveliness in these areas will return actual property, keep in mind is a long term funding. So for any of those who individuals who do nonetheless like that furthermore way of life, which there are many us, proper? There’s alternatives there. I
Dave:
Need to simply make clear that even these markets that Skylar’s speaking about which can be experiencing some corrections, perhaps New Orleans with an exception, is that quite a lot of them had been nonetheless means above pre pandemic ranges like means above and are coming down very modestly simply off of their pandemic highs. And so for the overwhelming majority of people that purchased even in kind of in direction of the highest are most likely doing high quality by way of fairness. And clearly on a nationwide stage, even a 1% correction could be very modest. Sure. Now we have another closing break, however extra from Zillow, Skylar Olsen, after we return. Welcome again to the present. Let’s choose again up the place we left off Skylar. You talked about a few markets that might doubtlessly see a number of the largest corrections and softness. What in regards to the different aspect of the equation? What are a number of the hottest markets that you simply’re seeing?
Skylar:
Yeah, hottest markets are undoubtedly Midwestern. And there you’ve bought to assume is about affordability by way of the entry to changing into a home-owner. They’ve bought lots of people nonetheless keen to maneuver to entry that possibility. Then you’ve got the extra relative affordability concept. So northeast, however assume markets which can be round or between very costly markets. So your Hartford, Connecticut and your Windfall, Rhode Island are smack dab in between Boston and New York. Now, I don’t wish to indicate both that Boston and New York are, we nonetheless see optimistic dwelling worth development in these areas as properly as a result of we don’t have the listings from present homeowners. There’s quite a lot of pullback there. So in that very same means, the costly West coast, we don’t see destructive worth appreciation there but both as a result of that present proprietor simply holds so northeast and west. Suppose if costly there we’re seeing constant dwelling worth development as present homeowners maintain on. After which in areas just like the Midwest, I feel there simply is a lot demand as a result of the chance stays.
Dave:
Yeah, I feel that’s according to all the pieces that we’re seeing and speaking about right here on the present as properly is that affordability actually stays one of many key components in purchaser demand. And I’m questioning, Skylar, we’ve been speaking largely about dwelling costs, but when these regional patterns additionally maintain true by way of lease.
Skylar:
Sure, sure, they undoubtedly do although it’s a little bit nuanced. So right here Zillow produces the Zillow’s observe lease index. So we’re trying on the change in particular person listings after we produce this index. So it’s a extremely superior device to consider the rental market. And let’s say I exploit this device Zillow’s lease index, and I break it down by multifamily, so residences and single household. And right here I’m going to have very totally different dynamics happening as a result of over the course of the pandemic and really just lately we now have been capable of produce quite a lot of residences, however they’ve solely develop into obtainable during the last quarter say in a means that’s simply actually file setting relative to the years earlier than. And all that additional new provide on the condominium aspect has made it in order that whereas rents usually are not falling, they’re very tender and softer than pre pandemic.
Now if I’m enthusiastic about single household rents, so assume your suburban properties and for our definition, it contains those which can be connected. So embody your townhomes in your image of your thoughts. Single household rents proceed to develop at pre pandemic ranges. So softer than the growth when everybody was transferring due to distant work and all the pieces. However at pre pandemic, if not quicker relying on the place we’re. Like a number of the locations we talked about, significantly within the Midwest, proper, the place lease development within the single household dwelling remains to be very excessive. Now take into consideration why you’ve bought lots of people that transfer into this space, perhaps even to develop into householders, however but they lease first after which they’ve this barrier to proudly owning, to transferring on due to the excessive mortgage charge pre pandemic. For those who needed to develop into a brand new home-owner and also you had the down fee and perhaps it took you some time to save lots of for it to develop into a brand new dwelling or mortgage charges had been simply such that you’d most likely save radically relative to renting today it’s actually extra of a wash in case you’re taking a look at renting a single household dwelling of a high quality in a pleasant neighborhood, that type of factor.
And so in case you can’t transfer on to on the market, however you continue to need that way of life as a result of say you’re 35, you’ve got youngsters, you count on that out of your life, then you definately’ll transfer on to lease it. So that you get that additional competitors on that aspect as properly. So single household leases are doing very properly, significantly within the locations the place dwelling costs are additionally rising. Those that we talked about the place I don’t have listings from present homeowners on the west or the Midwest. The Midwest is the place single household lease development is the strongest. Now, if I wish to say the place is condominium lease development the strongest, it’s nonetheless in these areas sturdy ger than different locations. However there are extra pockets the place multifamily condominium rents can be falling. After which the quickest spot is the northeast that I had talked about the place the windfall, Rhode Island and Hartford, Connecticut, the place the costly rental markets which can be additionally New York is rents rising in New York now once more as properly. And Boston too. It’s simply that pinch between is the place it’s the quickest.
Dave:
Actually, it’s wild. My sister lives in Windfall and he or she moved up homes and rents out her previous one and I feel it’s two bed room, one tub. She will get $4,000 a month for it. It’s loopy that far more than a a lot larger home that I personal in Denver, for instance, would lease for which you’d by no means count on. So tremendous, tremendous fascinating. However undoubtedly listening to that anecdotally, along with a number of the information that Skyler is sharing with us. So Skyler, you gave some recommendation on what traders ought to be searching for about downtown areas. Do you’ve got another suggestions for our viewers?
Skylar:
Yeah, I imply, I feel usually the tip for the viewers apart from try the chance as a result of these areas that I discussed usually are not the place issues are tender. They’re actually not anticipating crash dwelling values ought to return in these locations as a result of they’re simply correcting for lots of the sooner warmth that we had seen. After which after all we’re ready to see what rates of interest do. So apart from these downtown, the place are the cool markets the place there are many worth cuts? In order that dialog that we’ve already had, I feel being very conscious of the monetary market proper now could be extremely essential as a result of the influence of that mortgage charge on the funding potential of shopping for actual property is large. So how do you deal with that? Properly, mortgage charges are elevated proper now, however there’s nonetheless, when you’ve got this chance transferring ahead, you crunch the numbers and it really works for you.
But it surely’s that edge, proper? You could have instruments now to have the ability to, for instance, store buyability or store by month-to-month fee. So for instance, if I’m on Zillow and we now have each of those instruments, you possibly can type of store extra for what’s reasonably priced. You get the customized details about what that mortgage charge is likely to be in the present day. However then as you proceed to buy, if the mortgage charge modifications, the search standards of what you possibly can afford may even change. Which implies if mortgage charges drop abruptly there are extra alternatives. And I feel why these sorts of instruments are necessary is as a result of consider the flip aspect. So that you’ve crunched your numbers, you’ve discovered what works out. I feel after we method the housing market, it’s simple to additionally get a little bit bit an excessive amount of momentum. It’s so irritating. There’s low stock to search out the suitable dwelling, however you actually bought to be sure you stick with that due diligence. So let’s say mortgage charges swing again up once more, that search standards is then restricted once more. After which Buyability is only a means to determine that different finish of it, not simply search by that month-to-month fee for what you possibly can afford month-to-month in case you’d wish to then as a substitute seek for what that worth level is for you. However that mortgage charge is simply very, very impactful to the lease versus purchase equation and the monetary funding aspect of issues. For
Dave:
Positive. That’s nice recommendation. Skylar, earlier than we get out of right here, would you enable me to ask you some fast hearth questions on subsequent yr? Yeah,
Skylar:
Positive. Let’s
Dave:
Do it. Positive. For those who needed to guess or predict the quickest rising market by way of dwelling worth appreciation within the subsequent yr, what would you assume?
Skylar:
Within the subsequent yr? I’m going to go to Cleveland or St. Louis,
Dave:
One thing like that. Okay. I prefer it. Two comparatively reasonably priced cities within the Midwest. Okay, I prefer it. What about lease development?
Skylar:
Oh, that’s so humorous. So I stated that as a result of that’s the place lease development is at present the quickest on extra of that condominium aspect. So I simply translated that into a number one indicator over the following yr. After which after all our additionally forecasts are targeted within the Midwest. So lease development, can I cut up it between multifamily? Sure.
Dave:
Yeah. Nuance is allowed
Skylar:
Single household, I’d say again that very same space. I feel anybody who’s placing their hat on and considering to themselves, I wish to dwell in a suburban neighborhood with good colleges and timber or that traditional, I don’t even wish to name it the American dream anymore, nevertheless it’s a little bit too stereotypical. However those who wish to go in direction of that, we’re at a giant generational balloon of those who is likely to be wanting which can be coming into their mid to late thirties as the height of that millennial generations. It actually will bear down on that extra reasonably priced Midwest. And the Midwest additionally seems pretty good for extra of the local weather change parts. Florida’s bought actually larger and better insurance coverage prices today, so that they’re going to get a little bit bit extra challenged. And we’ve additionally been capable of construct extra in Texas and Florida, so I count on way more softness on either side, residences and single household.
But when I used to be in, we don’t have an official lease forecast, however I’ll go and be enjoyable on this. On the residences, I feel it may swing West Coast by way of quicker lease development in the identical means that it’s cluster across the way of life cities on the northeast, the Boston and the New York is type of the place that condominium vibrancy is trying. And San Francisco has been so tender for therefore lengthy. I hope it for them, however perhaps I’ll lean extra just like the Seattles is type of the place for that one Northeast. It’s nonetheless going to be large although. Cash down northeast. Slightly upsetting and enjoyable prediction, go west.
Dave:
Okay. And final query right here. The place will rates of interest with the typical charge on a 30 yr fastened charge mortgage? What is going to it’s one yr from in the present day?
Skylar:
6.6%.
Dave:
