Game Off, Game On For Banking Fears

After systemic banking fears died down earlier in the week, Credit Suisse and other European banks are saying "game on!"  Stock prices of said banks led a market-wide sell-off in equities overnight.  Bonds rallied on the flight-to-safety, and yields are now back near Monday's lows. With the Fed in the midst of the typical 11-day communications blackout ahead of the next meeting, speculation has been running fairly wild as to how recent events affect the rate outlook.  To be fair, most of the "running wild" is a product of the new itself.  The Fed's blackout period only adds a modest amount of uncertainty. If you ask financial markets, everyone is fairly certain the Fed still hikes 25bps next week.  After that, it's anyone's guess as Fed Funds Futures suggest rate cuts on the horizon.  The overnight news brings December's Fed rate outlook to even lower levels than those seen on Monday. Long story short, the overnight move resets the board to be roughly in line with Monday morning.  It's like one of those placards at the work place that boasts "number of days without an accident."  We got up to "2" yesterday, and rates had risen accordingly. Now it's back to zero, even though the Credit Suisse rout isn't the same sort "accident" as SVB or Signature.

How Buying a Multi-Generational Home Helps with Affordability Today In today's world of rising housing costs, many buyers are looking for ways to still be able to buy a home. Some of them have found a solution in multi-generational living. Multi-generational living is when two or more adult generations live together under one roof. This includes siblings, parents, or even grandparents. Reasons To Buy a Multi-Generational Home According to a recent study by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the top two reasons people are opting for multi-generational homes today have to do with affordability. Cost Savings: About 28% of first-time buyers and 11% of repeat buyers are deciding on a multi-generational home to save on costs. By pooling their resources, households can share the financial responsibilities to make homeownership more affordable. More Space: Another 28% of first-time buyers and 18% of repeat buyers are doing it because they want a larger home they couldn’t afford on their own. With everyone chipping in and combining their incomes, suddenly, that big dream home with more space is within reach.
