Eurodollar University, Released on Released on 3/19/26

Sales of newly built homes crashed by a massive 17.6% in January, with a 44% drop in the Northeast and 34% slide in the Midwest. Of course, everyone is trying to blame it on weather but sales were already weakening in December and those in the Western part of the country were down by a whopping 22%. It’s now like we’ve haven’t been following a macro bust in the property sector. Economists just don’t want to admit rate cuts didn’t produce the recovery they were expecting. And now homebuyers have to deal with volatility across interest rates because central bankers are doing exactly what we thought they would in response to the oil shock.
