Foreclosure activity in first half of 2023 ticks upwards toward pre-COVID levels

ATTOM has released its Midyear 2023 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 185,580 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — in the first six months of 2023. That figure is up 13 percent from the same time period a year ago and up 185 percent from the same time period two years ago.

“Similar to the first half of 2022, foreclosure activity across the United States maintained its upward trajectory, gradually approaching pre-pandemic levels in the first half of 2023,” stated Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM. “Although overall foreclosure activity remains below historical norms, the notable surge in foreclosure starts indicates that we may continue to see a rise in foreclosure activity in the coming years.”

States that saw the greatest increase in foreclosure activity compared to a year ago in the first half of 2023 included Maryland (up 100 percent); Oregon (up 99 percent); Alaska (up 95 percent); West Virginia (up 83 percent); and Arkansas (up 72 percent).

Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland post highest state foreclosure rates

Nationwide, 0.13 percent of all housing units (one in every 752) had a foreclosure filing in the first half of 2023.

States with the highest foreclosure rates in the first half of 2023 were Illinois (0.25 percent of housing units with a foreclosure

filing); New Jersey (0.24 percent); Maryland (0.23 percent); Delaware (0.23 percent); and Ohio (0.20 percent).

Other states with first-half foreclosure rates among the 10 highest nationwide were South Carolina (0.19 percent); Florida (0.19 percent); Nevada (0.19 percent); Indiana (0.18 percent); and Connecticut (0.16 percent).

Highest metro foreclosure rates in Cleveland, Atlantic City, and Fayetteville

Among the 223 metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates in the first half of 2023 were Cleveland, Ohio (0.33 percent of housing units with foreclosure filings); Atlantic City, New Jersey (0.33 percent); Fayetteville, North Carolina (0.30 percent); Columbia, South Carolina (0.29 percent); and Lakeland, Florida (0.29 percent).

Foreclosure starts up 15 percent from last year

A total of 135,065 U.S. properties started

the foreclosure process in the first six months of 2023, up 15 percent from the first half of last year and up 36 percent from the first half of 2020.

States that saw the greatest number of foreclosures starts in the first half of 2023 included California (14,217 foreclosure starts); Florida (13,837 foreclosure starts); Texas (13,419 foreclosure starts); New York (8,772 foreclosure starts); and Illinois (7,995 foreclosure starts).

Bank repossessions climb in first half of 2023 from last year

Lenders foreclosed (REO) on a total of 22,672 U.S. properties in the first six months of 2023, up 9 percent from the first half of 2022 and up 133 percent from the first half of 2021, but down 40 percent from the first half of 2020.

US economy unexpectedly accelerated to a 2.4% growth rate in April-June quarter despite Fed hikes

Property Still a Popular Investment

AMY POLLICK WEALTH OF GEEKS

U.S. homeownership is higher than it’s been since 2011, according to Statista. About 65.9% of American households own their homes. The 2009 recession decimated the housing market, but it’s finally beginning to recover.

Where the Buyers Are

Since Americans would rather be homeowners, where are they buying houses and land? Ruby Home analyzed Google search data, and said Wisconsin is in the number one spot for real estate and investment-related searches. This state averaged 459.4 searches per 100,000 people. In fact, Forward Analytics, a Wisconsin-based research organization, said in the next 10 years, “Wisconsin will need to build nearly 140,000 housing units to accommodate its population under the age of 65. “That’s a lot of potential work for contractors and realtors.

Georgia is second in real estate investment search terms, with an average of 428 searches per 100,000 residents. The Peach State had the highest number of searches for “How to invest in real estate.”

Ohio is in the third spot, averaging 424.2 monthly Google searches per 100,000 citizens. Ohio’s most searched term is “Foreclosed homes for sale.” About 60% of the monthly Google searches are for this term. This could indicate increased interest in house flipping. According to Redfin, Ohio home sales have risen in 2023 but are

still down by 16.6% since 2022. Investors looking at the foreclosure market may explain the downturn in home sales.

About 417.6 searches per 100,000 residents in Illinois were dedicated to real estate investing terms, sending it to fourth place on the list. It has the highest national number of searches for “rental property investment.” According to Zillow, rental prices in Illinois have increased since 2022 but are still lower than the national average, making it an attractive option for real estate investors.

Michigan rounds out the top five states on this list. It averaged 417.5 searches per 100,000 citizens. “Foreclosed homes for sale” is also Michigan’s top search term. Foreclosed homes are often a more affordable choice for first-time investors.

Who Else Is Investing?

Indiana is sixth on this list, with 413.9 searches, and Minnesota takes seventh place with 403.3 searches. North Carolina is eighth with 389.8 average searches.

Pennsylvania garners ninth place with 378 searches and the highest number of searches of “real estate for sale. California is in tenth place with 376.4 searches and the largest number of searches for “how to invest in property.”

Interestingly, North Carolina and California also appear on lists with the highest number of relocations to that state. A study by Self Storage.com reports California is third on the list of states Americans want to move to, while North Carolina

is sixth on the same list. With California home prices decreasing by 5.8% since 2022, investing in that state is clearly becoming more popular.

What Are The Risks?

According to Jean Folger at Investopedia, 35% of American investors have put their money into real estate over the past 10 years. No investment is without risk, however, and investors should be educated about the possible pitfalls of their financial activities.

The number one risk to real estate investors is the unpredictability of the market. Even in a strong market, some event can shake the real estate market and causes depreciation. Folger says, “Supply and demand, the economy, demographics, interest rates, government policies, and unforeseen events all play a role in real estate trends, including

prices and rental rates.”

Investors need to do their due diligence in monitoring their investments.

One of the mottoes in real estate is “location, location, location.” A bad real estate location can make for a poor investment. Again an investor’s due diligence may mean the difference between a profitable deal and a deal that loses money.

With several risks in the equation, investors should plan their financial activity carefully and make sound decisions. Still, a Ruby Homes spokesperson said, “Despite significant variations in population size, property investment remains a consistently popular topic across the country, as reflected in the steady search volumes for real estate-related terms.”

Construction employment increases in 45 states

Construction employment increased in 45 states in June from a year earlier, while 33 states added construction jobs from May to June, according to a new analysis of federal employment data released by the Associated General Contractors of America today. Association officials said the job gains were welcome, but that widespread construction labor shortages mean many firms would likely have hired even more workers if they could find qualified candidates.

“Unlike some other parts of the economy, construction is showing no letup in activity,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “But with an industry unemployment rate of only 3.6 percent, contractors in many states have had a tough time in recent months finding enough workers to execute all of their projects.”

Between June 2022 and June 2023, 45 states added construction jobs, while industry employment declined in five states and held steady in the District of Columbia. Texas added the most construction jobs over the year (30,500 jobs or 3.9 percent), followed by New York (10,100 jobs, 2.6 percent), Louisiana (9,700 jobs, 7.5 percent), and California (9,300 jobs, 1.0 percent). Arkansas had the largest percentage increase in construction jobs over 12 months (11.8 percent, 6,700 jobs), followed by Kentucky (8.0 percent, 6,600 jobs), Nebraska (7.8 percent, 4,400 jobs), Louisiana, and Oregon (7.5 percent, 8,600 jobs).

Missouri lost the most jobs (-1,800 jobs, -1.3 percent), followed by Colorado (-1,500 jobs, -0.8 percent), North Dakota (-500 jobs, -1.9 percent), Connecticut (-500 jobs, -0.8 percent), and Vermont (-300 jobs, -1.9 percent).

North Dakota and Vermont had the largest percentage loss, followed by Missouri, Colorado, and Connecticut.

For the month, construction employment increased in 33 states, declined in 15 states and D.C., and was flat in Delaware and Massachusetts.

Texas added the most jobs over the month (11,000 jobs, 1.4 percent), followed by California (6,000 jobs, 0.7 percent), Florida (4,000 jobs, 0.7 percent), Maryland (3,900 jobs, 2.4 percent) and Indiana (3,800 jobs, 2.4 percent). The largest percentage gain occurred in South Dakota (4.3 percent, 1,100 jobs), followed by Mississippi

(4.1 percent, 1,900 jobs), Alaska (2.5 percent, 400 jobs), Maryland, and Indiana.

Virginia experienced the largest decline in construction jobs in June (-3,200 jobs, -1.5 percent), followed

by North Carolina (-2,900 jobs, -1.2 percent) and New York (-2,100 jobs, -0.5 percent). Iowa had the largest percentage loss for the month (-2.0 percent, -1,700 jobs), followed by D.C. (-1.9 percent, -300 jobs).

Association officials called for a mix of immigration reforms and new investments in constructionfocused education and training to help address chronic labor shortages in construction. Federal officials can provide short-term relief by creating a temporary work visa program for people with construction skills. Public officials also need to address the significant federal funding gap that exists between programs to encourage students to go to college and those that expose students to career opportunities in fields like construction.

“The federal government’s current approach essentially discourages students from pursuing construction careers while prohibiting people from entering the country to work in construction,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Instead, Congress and the administration boost funding for career and technical education and allow more people to lawfully enter the country and work in construction.”

Climate extremes drive changes in building products demand

Demand for residential metal roofing in the U.S. is making significant gains, according to the latest annual industry report that measures overall roofing demand and activity.

According to the Dodge Report, U.S. metal roofing demand for residential re-roofing jumped to a record-high 18 percent in 2022, up by six percent in just three years. Gains also were made in the new residential construction market, where metal roofing’s market share rose in all but two regions of the U.S. Some of the biggest increases were in the East South Central (Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama), East North Central (Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana) and New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut) regions, correlating with the need for better performance and resiliency in areas hit hard by climate extremes and monster storms. The Dodge Report study has tracked industry growth data annually since 1998.

Metal roofing is beginning to eat away at asphalt roofing’s historically-dominate share of the U.S. market. According to Renee Ramey, executive director of the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) http://www. metalroofing.com, concerns about asphalt’s inability to last or hold up under extreme conditions, and serious environmental issues such as the tremendous amount of landfill waste and the air pollution caused by asphalt, are driving homeowners to look for better options.

“Consumers are simply tired of having to replace their roofs after just a few years or worry about whether they have longlasting protection against monster storms, wildfires and extreme temperatures,” said Ramey. “We’re finding more homeowners are turning to quality metal roofs, not just for better, long-lasting performance, but also for metal’s more sustainable and low maintenance attributes.”

The Metal Roofing Alliance also is credited for driving significant awareness and understanding to help inform U.S. and Canadian homeowners about how metal roofing compares to other types of roofing materials. The organization offers a wide variety of robust resources and tools for homeowners, including the its comprehensive Buyer’s Guide, available for free at https://www.metalroofing.com/news/ download-mra-residential-metal-roofingbuyers-guide/.

Other factors, such as greater adoption of residential solar systems, are also helping drive growth. Because quality metal roofs are designed to last even longer than solar panels themselves, and can be installed easily and quickly, they are the perfect roofing choice for the increasing number of homeowners interested in harnessing the power of solar. Additionally, quality metal roofing increases energy efficiency and can be recycled at the end of its long life, making it a sustainable and better performing choice for even the harshest climate conditions, including high winds heavy snow and ice loads, and hail storms.

For areas prone to wildfires, quality metal roofs protect against ignition and wayward sparks, and most carry the highest possible Class A fire rating.

“It’s gratifying to us to know that homeowners are really getting the message that metal roofing is a better choice for a wide variety of compelling reasons,” said Ramey. “We believe that as the need for home resiliency continues to grow, so too will the demand for quality metal roofing.”

Greystar breaks ground on 305-residence South Charlotte apartment community

Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC (“Greystar”), a global leader in the investment, development, and management of real estate, including rental housing, logistics, and life sciences, has announced that it is breaking ground on a brand new community in Rea Farms called Laurent.

“Laurent is going to bring a sophisticated and elevated experience that offers the true lifestyle comforts typically found in the hospitality industry,” said Mike Sullivan, Greystar Director of Development. “The location is fantastic as it sits within the Rea Farms suburban center, which features over 250,000 sq. ft. of convenient and walkable retail with the Laurent being seamlessly woven into the planned community park extension.”

Greystar overcame several challenges with this new development. The parcel was initially zoned for office space. In cooperation with Lincoln Harris, Greystar was able to successfully rezone the site to include apartments.

The community will have three- and fourstory buildings and will feature a variety of spacious floor plans, including studio, one, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as townhomes. Each apartment home will have high-quality finishes such as a luxury closet system and tile floors in the bathrooms. All corridors are air conditioned and will have elevators, an uncommon, but desired feature in three-story apartments. Laurent’s highlight will be a third-floor amenity terrace that will have views of the community park, as well as a robust social calendar geared toward enhancing the resident lifestyle experience.

Greystar selected architecture firm Dwell Design Studio, interior designer Cline Design and civil engineer and land planner Land Design to bring the vision for Laurent to life. Greystar’s internal construction team will be the general contractor. U.S. Bank is providing construction financing for the project. With the completion of Overture Providence in 2018, this will be Greystar’s second project within Rea Farms and Greystar’s 12th development in Charlotte. The community’s targeted completion date is early 2025, with pre-leasing beginning in the second half of 2024.

Greystar is a leading, fully integrated global real estate company offering expertise in property management, investment management, and development services in institutional-quality rental

housing, logistics, and life sciences sectors. Headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, Greystar manages and operates over $250 billion of real estate in 234 markets globally with offices throughout North America, Europe, South America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Greystar is the largest operator of apartments in the United States, manages over 817,000 units/beds globally, and has a robust institutional investment management platform comprised of more than $69 billion of assets under management, including approximately $29 billion of development assets. Greystar was founded by Bob Faith in 1993 to become a provider of world-class service in the rental residential real estate business. To learn more, visit www.greystar.com. Staff report

Forecast update: Home prices expected to see a slight decline

Mortgage rate lock-in will continue to be a major challenge for the housing market in the remainder of 2023, according to the Realtor.com® 2023 Forecast Update. While prices have eased slightly, higher mortgage rates are hurting affordability, and many of those who already own a home are not incentivized to list. As a result, the total number of home sales (projected to be down 15.8% to 4.2 million) is likely to be at its lowest point since 2012. On the rental side, prices are expected to drop slightly on the year (-0.9%), as strong multi-family construction is improving inventory.

“High inflation and the Fed’s actions to curb it have had a significant impact on the housing market this year. And while inflation has begun to ease, the sustained spike in mortgage rates was enough to stifle the housing market after several years of low rates and strong activity,” said Realtor. com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale. “The housing market has really seen a double whammy in 2023, with a retrenchment in the number of homes for sale coupled with still-high prices and mortgage rates that have kept both first-time and repeat buyers on the sidelines.”

Affordability improving, but still a long way to go

Home prices have been supported by persistent underbuilding relative to household growth over the last decade, but low affordability has had an outsized impact on demand. As a result, Realtor.com® now expects a modest decline in home prices of 0.6% for the year. The expectation is that mortgage rates will also be slightly lower than originally anticipated, but not low enough to bring down buying costs until the end of the year. As inflation is expected to cool gradually, we expect that mortgage rates will start to do the same beginning mid-year and nearing 6% by the end of the year. For the year as a whole, the cost of a mortgage is expected to be up 10.5% compared to 2022.

Mortgage rate lock-in effect impacting inventory

Realtor.com® expects home sales to decline 15.8% in 2023 for a total of about 4.2 million sales for the year, the smallest annual total since 2012. Mortgage rate lock-

in has been a stronger factor than initially expected, and the number of homes for sale has not met initial projections. As a result, the expectation now is for inventory levels to slip 5% for the year, and not the growth projected in the initial forecast.

“The vast majority of homeowners locked in low rates during the pandemic and aren’t particularly excited to give them up in order to buy a new home, unless they really need to move for personal reasons,” said Hale.

Rental prices pull back

Challenging conditions in the housing market will lead many to continue renting, driving ongoing demand for rentals through the second half of 2023. However, the strong uptick in new multi-family construction and people choosing to stay in their unit in order to save money is likely to decrease competition for new units and lead to a slight annual decline in rental prices (-0.9%). However, despite this pull-back, rental prices are still historically high with the average rent about $350 more than it was pre-pandemic.

Other economic factors to consider

Despite the Fed’s tightening, the economy and labor markets have shown resilience. And while paychecks haven’t kept pace with inflation, Americans have dipped into pandemic savings and continued to spend money. While this is boosting the current economy, it could have an impact in the future if consumers burn through savings and need to rely on high-interest debt. Staff report

Home flipping activity remains high across nation

ATTOM has released its first-quarter 2023 U.S. Home Flipping Report showing that 72,960 single-family homes and condominiums in the United States were flipped in the first quarter. Those transactions represented 9 percent of all sales.

The latest portion was down from 9.4 percent of all home sales in the nation during the first quarter of 2022. But it was still up from 8 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, hitting the second-highest level this century.

The report also revealed that while flipping activity rose, mixed trends emerged for raw profits and profit margins. Profits and investment returns both increased slightly from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of this year. But both also remained near low points over the past decade, reflecting ongoing financial struggles for home flippers.

The quarterly gain in the typical profit margin, of 22 percent, represented a modest reversal of fortune for investors following three years of nearly continuous declines that began well before a slowdown in the broader U.S. housing market last year.

“Home-flipping investors across the U.S. may have finally halted the decline,” said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM. “In the first quarter, profit margins showed a slight upward turn after an extended slump, while interest in flipped homes continued to rise among buyers. However, investors shouldn’t assume they’re out of the woods just yet. Home-flipping carrying costs can

MARGENAU: Ungrateful greedy geezers

Sometimes people bug me. Today I’m going to share some recent email exchanges I had with two people who bothered me. They both were spouting the same “get the government off my back” and “the government is out to squeeze every last nickel out of us” rhetoric, but neither of them realized how hypocritical their complaints were. I’m going to call the first guy “Ungrateful Greedy Geezer.” Our email exchange went something like this. (Before I share the dialogue, I must point out that we were talking about the Medicare Part B program. There are two main parts to Medicare. Part A is hospital coverage. It’s paid for out of a payroll tax -- currently 1.45% -- so it is free once you reach age 65. Part B covers doctor’s visits, lab tests, etc., and is paid for by monthly premiums usually deducted from a Social Security recipient’s monthly benefits.)

UGG: I am 75 years old. I had a good year financially last year as some investments paid off in seven figures. So, imagine my shock when I learned that because I invested wisely, I will be paying much higher Medicare premiums this year. It just really ticks me off that the government has an unquenchable desire for more and more money. What can I do about this?

ME: I’ll answer your question in a minute, but first let me make this point. If the government has an “unquenchable desire for more and more money,” it’s because the American public has an unquenchable desire for more and more government programs and services that they are not willing to pay for (thus the annual federal budget deficit).

UGG: I agree. And as soon as we get rid of foreign aid and food stamps and all the welfare queens, we can get the country back on track!

ME: I wasn’t thinking about welfare queens, I was thinking about people like

you.

UGG: (I can’t share what he wrote next, but it’s something you normally wouldn’t say in polite company!)

ME: Well, let me explain. For 10 years now, you’ve been riding for next to nothing on the government Medicare Part B gravy train. The premium was about a hundred bucks a month 10 years ago and is $164.90 in 2023. (And by the way, that’s about five bucks less than the 2022 premium.)

OK, so $164.90 per month is not really “next to nothing,” but when you hear the rest of my explanation, you’ll see that it was and still is a pretty good deal. Most senior citizens don’t realize this, but that monthly Part B premium only covers 25% of the costs of the program. The taxpayers pick up the other 75%. So, for 10 years now, you and other current seniors on Medicare have gotten quite a huge subsidy from the American taxpayer. (Actually, that subsidy has been in place the entire 58-year history of the program.)

And for a long time, it had been argued that senior citizens should pick up more of the tab for their Medicare Part B coverage. So, back in the mid 2000s, President George W. Bush and Congress ironed out a deal. They decided that most seniors would still only pay the 25% premium rate, but that wealthy seniors should pay a higher percentage. I’m not going to get into the nitty-gritty of the premium rates for wealthy people, but I’m pretty sure someone with your seven-figure income will pay about $400 per month for Part B coverage.

UGG: Well, I still think it’s too much and the government is ripping me off. And by the way, I don’t like your references to me and the gravy train. That’s quite a stretch coming from a guy who is a retired federal employee with free health care coverage!

ME: It will surprise you to learn that the supposedly “free” health care coverage

I get as a retired fed costs me about $525 per month! Anyway, if you’re bound and determined to fight this Part B premium increase, you can file an appeal. Just do a Google search for the pamphlet called, “What you can do if you think your Medicare income-related premium is incorrect.”

And then there was this email exchange with another ungrateful greedy geezer. Although in this guy’s case, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is uninformed rather than ungrateful. He was asking questions about benefits for his wife, so I’ll call him the “Uninformed Greedy Husband,” or UGH.

UGH: I am 68 and get Social Security retirement benefits. My wife is 66 and spent most of her career as a teacher in Texas, which means she never paid into Social Security. So, she gets a teacher’s retirement pension in lieu of Social Security. I was shocked to recently learn that if I die first (which is likely), my wife will not be eligible for any widow’s benefits on my record whereas all other women in this country can get their husband’s Social Security after his death. It’s called the Government Pension Offset. I know there are bills in Congress to repeal this unfair law, but my guess is Congress will just keep handing out unwarranted benefits to deadbeats on disability and illegal immigrants and do nothing for hard-working people like me and my wife!

ME: People living in the country illegally cannot get Social Security benefits. And almost everyone getting a Social Security disability benefit has a severe mental or physical condition that keeps him or her from working. Also, “all other women” do not necessarily get widow’s benefits. So, it may surprise you to learn that you are the one clamoring for “unwarranted” Social Security benefits.

The GPO law says that an amount equal to two thirds of your wife’s teacher’s

pension must be deducted from any widow’s benefits she might be due. Let’s say you get $3,000 from Social Security. And to keep things simple, I’ll say your wife is getting $3,000 per month in a teacher’s pension. If you die, two-thirds of $3,000, or $2,000, must be deducted from her widow’s benefits. So, she will get $1,000 in Social Security widow’s benefits as well as her $3,000 teacher’s pension.

Now compare that to another couple where both husband and wife paid into Social Security. For comparison purposes, let’s say they are each getting $3,000 in Social Security retirement benefits. If that husband dies, his wife won’t get a nickel in widow’s benefits because her entire Social Security retirement benefit is used to offset any widow’s benefits.

As a teacher, your wife already has a great deal, because she only has a twothirds offset whereas Social Security recipients have a 100% offset. And you want Congress to repeal the GPO law so that your wife would get both a $3,000 teacher’s pension AND a $3,000 widow’s pension -- something no other woman in this country can get. I hope you see what I mean when I say you are the one trying to get “unwarranted” benefits.

It’s Lonely at the Bottom

It was Elvis who did it.

You remember, I’m sure, the lyrics to “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”

“Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?

Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again?

Tell me, dear, are you lonesome tonight?”

A few simple substitutions helped me see the light.

“Do the chairs in the reception room seem empty and bare?

Do you gaze at your office door and picture me there?

Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back to the office again?

Tell me, dear, are you lonesome today?”

My answer was yes, dear; I am lonesome today.

Of course, you’ve heard the expression: It’s lonely at the top.

What I discovered -- with a little help from The King -- is that it’s also lonely on the bottom, in the middle and everywhere else on the org chart, especially when you find yourself working by yourself, all alone.

Thanks to COVID-19, it made so much sense to avoid close proximity to our coworkers that even dim-bulb CEOs realized

INSIDE TRACT FROM PAGE 4 easily erase a 22 percent return on gross profits, and it’s possible that the recent gain is merely a temporary blip. Nevertheless, the first-quarter trends offer some hope for investors indicating that brighter times may lie ahead.”

Among flips nationwide, the gross profit on typical transactions (the difference between the median purchase price paid by investors and the median resale price) increased to $56,000 in the first quarter of 2023. That remained down 20 percent from $70,000 in the first quarter of 2022 and still stood at one of the lowest points since the U.S. housing market began recovering in 2012 from the Great Recession that struck in

we could get into our work without going into work.

You know what that meant.

No more commuting. No more office parties. No more collections for Bitsy in HR, who somehow defied the laws of biology by requiring three pricey baby showers a year.

Still, there was a downside: loneliness.

One person who realized she was missing the companionship of office life is Octavia Goredema. Or so I learned in her recent “Harvard Business Review” article, “Is Your Remote Job Making You Lonely?”

As Goredema explains, “Loneliness -the distress and discomfort we feel when we perceive a gap between the social connection we want and the quantity and quality of the relationships we currently have -- can be a side effect of remote work.”

It’s possible you don’t realize you are lonely. After all, you have Mr. Bear to cuddle you, not to mention the fun of gossiping with Kelly -- Ripa or Clarkson, take your pick. And for sheer interpersonal drama, not even the steamy swamp that is the marketing department can beat what happens five times a week on “The Bold and The Beautiful.” (Will Liam forgive Hope for kissing Thomas? Can Liam forgive himself for kissing Steffy?)

the late 2000s. Nevertheless, the total profit of typical flips nationwide was up 4.7 percent from $53,500 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Typical profit margins, meanwhile, also ticked up during the first few months of this year, after falling in eight of the prior nine quarters.

The typical gross flipping profit of $56,000 in the first quarter of 2023 translated into a 22.5 percent return on investment compared to the original acquisition price. While the typical margin remained down from 26.9 percent in the first quarter of 2022 – and was still less than half of the 51.5 percent level recorded in the middle of 2020 - it inched up from 21.7 percent in the fourth quarter of last year.

Fortunately, loneliness can be cured if you “consider what you need to feel like you’re connected and thriving at work.” Here’s what I came up with. See if you agree.

No. 1: Get critical

Constant criticism is an element of office life that you can easily replicate at home. How? A cynic might suggest you get married. I suggest you get a parrot. Teach Polly a few simple remarks, like “Polly wants a report,” and “Polly unhappy with report,” and “Polly thinks you’re an idiot,” and, the inevitable, “Polly notices a certain lack of commitment on your part and has decided to replace you with another parrot.”

Don’t bother to squawk. You’re toast. No. 2: Bring back your commute. Commuting really wasn’t so bad. If you drove to work, you got to spend quality time with yourself. If you used public transportation, you could feel superior over those who wasted natural resources by driving and, if you walked to work, you could feel superior and get in your 5,000 steps, as well.

The problem was that no matter how you got there, you eventually arrived at the office and had to go inside. For the remote worker, that’s no longer necessary. Restart commuting, but when you get to work, simply turn around and go back.

Profits and profit margins turned around a bit in the first quarter of 2023 as median resale prices on flipped homes went up slightly faster than they were rising when investors were buying homes.

Specifically, in the first quarter of 2023, the typical resale price on flipped homes increased 1.7 percent, from $300,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $305,000 in the first quarter of this year. That was better than the 1 percent increase in the median price that recent home flippers were commonly seeing when they originally bought their properties.

The recent profit turnaround – modest as it was – continued an unusual pattern of home flipping fortunes running counter to the broader U.S. housing market. For the prior

You’ll be so happy to be home that you’ll never feel lonely again.

No. 3: Go to lunch

For many people, the best part of going into work was going out to lunch. When you’re working from home, it just makes sense to go the kitchen and make yourself a tuna sandwich. This is why you should make it a rule to, at least once a week, change out of your sweats and put on the most uncomfortable work outfit you own. (It shouldn’t be hard to decide. Considering the weight you’ve gained working from home, wearing anything without an elastic waist is torture.)

To truly complete the restaurant experience, wait a half-hour at the doorway (since you don’t have a reservation), and when you’re finished, pay yourself an outrageously high price for your tuna sandwich -- and don’t forget to give yourself a healthy tip.

Still feeling lonely? Next time, take Polly.

three years, investment returns were mostly dropping. That was happening despite prices and profits for traditional sellers soaring during an extended, decade-long boom period for the overall market.

Investor woes continued last year as the market surge stalled amid rising mortgage rates, high consumer price inflation, a faltering stock market and economic uncertainty. Home values have dropped throughout the country since the second quarter of last year, with the national median price down 7 percent. But flipping profits started to reverse course early this year, even as prices continued to dip in most of the country.

economy unexpectedly accelerated to a 2.4% growth rate in April-June quarter despite Fed hikes

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy surprisingly accelerated to a 2.4% annual growth rate from April through June, showing continued resilience in the face of steadily higher interest rates resulting from the Federal Reserve’s 16-month-long fight to bring down inflation.

Thursday’s estimate from the Commerce Department indicated that the gross domestic product — the economy’s total output of goods and services — picked up from the 2% growth rate in the JanuaryMarch quarter. Last quarter’s expansion was well above the 1.5% annual rate that economists had forecast.

Driving last quarter’s growth was a burst of business investment. Excluding housing, business spending surged at a 7.7% annual rate, the fastest such pace since early 2022. Companies plowed more money into factories and equipment. Increased spending by state and local governments also helped fuel the economy’s expansion in the April-June quarter.

Consumer spending, the heart of the nation’s economy, was also solid last quarter, though it slowed to a 1.6% annual rate from a robust 4.2% pace in the first quarter of the year.

Investment in housing, though, fell, weakened by the weight of higher mortgage rates.

“This is a strong report, confirming that this economy continues to largely shrug off the Fed’s aggressive rate increases and tightening credit conditions,’’ said Olu Sonola, head of U.S. economics at Fitch Ratings. “The bottom line is that the U.S. economy is still growing above trend, and the Fed will be wondering if they need to do more to slow this economy.”

In fighting inflation, which last year hit

a four-decade high, the Fed has raised its benchmark rate 11 times since March 2022, most recently on Wednesday. The resulting higher costs for a broad range of loans — from mortgages and credit cards to auto loans and business borrowing — have taken a toll on growth.

Still, they have yet to tip the United States into a widely forecast recession. Optimism has been growing that a recession isn’t coming after all, that the Fed can engineer a so-called “soft-landing” — slowing the economy enough to bring inflation down to its 2% annual target without wrecking an expansion of surprising durability.

This week, the International Monetary Fund upgraded its forecast for U.S. economic growth for all of 2023 to 1.8%. Though that would be down from 2.1% growth for 2022, it marked an increase from the 1.6% growth that the IMF had predicted for 2023 back in April.

At a news conference Wednesday after the Fed announced its latest quarter-point rate hike, Chair Jerome Powell revealed that the central bank’s staff economists no longer foresee a recession in the United States. In April, the minutes of the central bank’s March meeting had revealed that the Fed’s staff economists envisioned a “mild” recession later this year.

In his remarks, Powell noted that the economy has proved resilient despite the Fed’s rapid rate hikes. And he said he still thinks a soft landing remains possible.

By any measure, the American job market has shown itself to be remarkably strong. At 3.6% in June, the unemployment rate hovers just above a five-decade low. A surge in retirements after COVID-19 hit in early 2020 has contributed to a shortage of workers across the country, forcing many

companies to raise wages to attract or keep staffers.

Higher pay and job security are giving Americans the confidence and financial wherewithal to keep shopping. Indeed, consumer spending, which drives about 70% of economic activity, rose at a 4.2% annual rate from January through March, the fastest quarterly pace in nearly two years. Americans have kept spending — crowding airplanes, traveling overseas and flocking to concerts and movie theaters.

And the Conference Board, a business research group, reported Tuesday that Americans this month are in their sunniest mood in two years, based on the board’s reading of consumer confidence.

Indeed, many consumers are finally enjoying some relief from spiking prices: Year-over-year inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, has eased consistently ever since. Inflation-adjusted hourly pay rose 1.4% in June from a year earlier, the sharpest such gain since early 2021.

“Inflation is easing, moving in the right direction,” said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. “In other words, the Fed is achieving what it wants without causing damage to the economy, so they don’t need to push too hard from this point on.’’

Still, Farooqi suggested, the surprisingly healthy GDP report makes it somewhat more likely that the Fed will raise rates again because the economy appears to be “much stronger’’ than what the central bank would like to see. With stronger growth comes a greater likelihood of high inflation.

But Thursday’s GDP report contained some encouraging news for the Fed’s inflation fighters: One measure of prices — the personal consumption expenditures

index — rose at a 2.6% annual rate last quarter, down from a 4.1% pace in the January-March quarter, to the lowest level since the end of 2020.

Though that is still above the Fed’s 2% inflation target, it amounts to “another welcome sign of disinflation,” said Mike Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association.

The Biden White House’s Council of Economic Advisers estimated Thursday that investment in factories and other manufacturing facilities added 0.4 percentage point of growth last quarter, the largest such proportion since 1981. President Joe Biden pushed the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act last year to encourage domestic manufacturing. Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JP Morgan Chase, agreed that much of last quarter’s uptick in business investment was “likely in response to recent federal incentives.’’

“This progress wasn’t inevitable or accidental,’’ the president said in a statement. “It is Bidenomics in action.’’

The risk remains that the weight of ever-higher interest rates will eventually slow borrowing so much — for homes, cars, renovations, business expansions and other costly expenses — as to pull the economy into recession.

Among the economy’s weakest links has been the housing market. In June, sales of previously occupied homes sank to their slowest pace since January. The problem is that a near-historic low number of homes for sale and higher mortgage rates kept many would-be homebuyers on the sidelines. Sales fell 19% compared with June 2022 and were down 23% through the first half of the year.
