Foreclosure Starts Down 12 Percent from Last Month; But Completed Foreclosures Up 4 Percent

ATTOM has released its July 2023 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 31,877 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — down 9 percent from a month ago but up 5 percent from a year ago.

“The slight decline in foreclosure filings we are seeing is yet another sign of a rebounding housing market,” said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM. “With home prices back up, several factors have combined to put more financial resources in the hands of homeowners, providing more options to avoid foreclosure. However, given with the U.S. housing market remains in flux, the various forces at play could keep the market improving or turn it back downward over the coming months.”

crisis: United States needs 4.3 million more homes

Foreclosure Starts Down 12 Percent from Last Month; But Completed Foreclosures Up 4 Percent

• A lack of affordable homes has created millions of “missing households,” keeping families in shared homes and unable to strike out on their own

• More than two-thirds of these missing households earn less than $35,000 a year, highlighting the economic barriers many face when trying to find a place of their own

A significant shortage of affordable housing options is fueling America’s affordability crisis, particularly for those looking to move out on their own for the first time, a new Zillow analysis shows. This huge housing deficit underscores the need for policies and investments that can boost construction.

This lack of housing — especially affordable options — has left millions of households “missing.” These missing households consist mainly of individuals and families living in another family’s owned or rented home. Across the country in 2021, there were nearly 8 million missing households, compared to just 3.7 million housing units available for rent or sale, a deficit of 4.3 million homes.

“The U.S. housing market is like a high-stakes version of the game musical chairs,” said Orphe Divounguy, senior economist at Zillow. “There are simply not enough homes for millions of people. Unless we address the shortage of smaller, more-affordable, starter-type homes, we risk leaving families without a seat — and it will only get worse over time.”

For each of the 3.7 million housing units available for rent or sale across the country in 2021, there were more than two potential households — families

likely in need of their own homes. This means even if every missing household was willing and able to move into their own home, 4.3 million households would have been left without a place to move to.

The bulk of families doubling up have consistently lower incomes, highlighting the need for smaller, more affordable housing. Of the families that are doubling up, 68% had an annual income of $35,000 or less.

The mismatch between potential housing needs and available homes across the country is playing out in dramatic fashion in the most expensive coastal housing markets, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego and Boston but also in places like Boise.

What consumers need to know

Zillow has a number of tools and partnerships to help consumers overcome these challenges.

Zillow’s affordability

calculator and monthly payment filter can help shoppers better understand how much they can afford and how best to find an affordable mortgage payment. Working with a trusted real estate partner is also critical to helping find an affordable home for new buyers.

All home listings on Zillow display available programs that help eligible shoppers with a down payment — the biggest barrier to homeownership for most. This first-of-its-kind tool was used by more than 1 million customers in just its first year, with the average recipient qualifying for $17,000 towards a down payment.

And for renters, Zillow offers a single, flat-fee rental application tool that helps would-be-tenants avoid paying hundreds of dollars in application fees, which can quickly become a financial hardship for low-income families.

What policymakers can do

Construction productivity has been declining relative to

the rest of the U.S. economy since the late 1960s, with land-use restrictions, building approval delays, and stunted construction sector growth all contributing to the lack of new home construction across the country. Policymakers should explore ways to boost production and overall growth of the construction sector to ensure housing supply can catch up to demand.

Additionally, experts are near unanimous that loosening restrictive zoning laws is critical to creating more supply and easing housing costs. According to public polling conducted by Zillow, four out of five adults support allowing more, smaller home types to be built in their own neighborhoods. Researchers also suggest that speeding up building permitting, eliminating parking requirements, tax incentives to rehabilitate underutilized housing stock, and expanding affordable housing trust funds could all help ease the shortfall in new construction.

New Research Reveals SelfEmployed Individuals Have Better Work/ Life Balance, Job Satisfaction, and Less Stress

Remote work and the gig economy has been an increasingly popular topic in the past few years as the aftermath from the pandemic left millions re-shuffling their priorities.

While the individuals that are selfemployed in the US may be a small pool compared to the employed workforce (16.2 million vs 160.72 million), new research from Moneyzine.com has revealed that while self-employed workers earn, on average, less than employed workers across

Home shoppers are paying more for fewer choices as new listings slow to a trickle

all states in the US - they also report far higher levels of job satisfaction, a better work/life balance, and less stress overall.

Key Findings

Here’s some key findings of the study carried out earlier this month. The survey was conducted by Moneyzine.com on 2,000 US adults, split evenly between selfemployed and employed individuals to survey their overall job satisfaction.

1 In 3 self-employed workers are dissatisfied with their current income

1 in 3 self-employed workers reported being very dissatisfied with their current income - with 13% saying that they were currently very dissatisfied.

Employed respondents, on the other hand, sat squarely in the middle - with most not overly satisfied or dissatisfied with their income as opposed to their counterparts, who seem to have a much stronger opinion on the matter. Just 5% of the respondents from this group were very dissatisfied with their income - a sharp difference.

We looked at the most recent five years of data from the US Census on the mean earnings of salaried workers vs selfemployed workers across every state in the US (graphs can be found within the article linked above), and found that, on average, self-employed workers currently earn a huge 56% less than salaried workers. In the District of Columbia, where wages tend to be amongst the highest in the country, self-employed workers earn a mean salary of 70% less than salaried workers. The smallest gap is in West Virginia, but even then, self-employed workers earn 41.5% less.

4 in 10 self-employed individuals are happy with their current employment status - whilst 1 in 3 employed individuals would describe themselves as unhappy or very unhappy in their current status.

45% of self-employed respondents were satisfied with their work/life balance - a markedly higher figure than the employed pool of respondents.

Additionally, Just 4% of employed respondents said their job is not stressful at all, compared to 1 in 10 of self-employed individuals who report zero stress-levels at work. Despite working set contracted hours, employed workers have a worse

Mortgage locks edge lower in June while credit availability continues to tighten

Black Knight, Inc. has announced the release of its latest Originations Market Monitor report, looking at mortgage origination data through June 2023 month-end. Leveraging daily rate lock data from the Black Knight Optimal Blue PPE, the Originations Market Monitor provides the industry’s earliest and most comprehensive view of origination activity.

“As May gave way to June, we saw banks lose some of their appetite for jumbo loans,” said Andy Walden, vice president of enterprise research and strategy at Black Knight. “While the OBMMI 30year conforming index rose 6 basis points over the month, the jumbo rate index was up by three times that level. Purchase loans continue to claim a larger share of a shrinking origination pipeline, as refinance opportunities remain scarce. Indeed, we saw the purchase lending share of June’s locks hit another all-time high. But keep in mind: It is a dominant share of a very constrained market.”

The month’s pipeline data showed rate lock activity fell across the board, edging lower by 1% overall on a month-to-month basis, with purchase locks down a scant 0.6%, cash-out refinances falling 1.4% and rate/term refinance locks off by almost 17%. Purchase locks accounted for 88.4% of locks in June, the highest share on record. Even so, purchase lock counts were down 31% year over year and 29% compared with pre-pandemic levels in 2019.

“As we noted in our most recent Mortgage Monitor report, the housing market has been reheating as we approach the traditional tail end of the homebuying season,” Walden said. “What’s clear is that continued economic uncertainty, tightening credit and affordability concerns have all helped to skew the market toward highercredit borrowers. In fact, the average credit score among purchase locks hit a record high in June. Likewise, the average purchase price rising for the seventh straight month, while the average loan amount remained flat, suggests lower loan-to-value ratios as well.”

Staff report

The Mid-Atlantic housing market seems to have missed the message that higher mortgage rates should stifle demand as buyers scramble to compete for a shrinking pool of listings. The number of available homes for sale in the Mid-Atlantic region has fallen to historic lows and home prices are once again at record highs, according to the Bright MLS Mid-Atlantic June Housing Report released today. Sales continue to trail last year, however, it’s not for lack of buyer interest.

“The housing market in the six-state Mid-Atlantic region continues to defy expectations,” said Dr. Lisa Sturtevant, Bright MLS Chief Economist. “Strong buyer demand continues to push home prices to new records, while the absence of sellers is becoming even more apparent as new listings slowed to a trickle in June.”

At $408,000, the median home price in the Mid-Atlantic is 2.3% higher than a year ago, hitting a record high. Prices rose in most local markets and for all housing types. Condos, often the most affordable options for buyers, led the price growth in June, up 3.7% compared to a year ago. Homes are selling quickly, with half of all homes going under contract in a week or less.

Buyers had been hopeful for more options during the spring as supply began to increase. But any relief buyers saw from an uptick in inventory evaporated in June. With no incentive for homeowners locked into low mortgage rates to sell, new listing activity is being driven primarily by sales of necessity—and it is far from enough to meet demand. The number of active listings in June was down 11.4% compared to June 2022 and is 44.3% of the level in 2019.

A lack of inventory is the primary constraint on the Mid-Atlantic housing market. New pending sales declined 17% and closed sales were down 17.6% year-over-year across the region in June. The lack of inventory also is impacting showings, which were down nearly 16% from a year ago.

One market that offers more choices for buyers, particularly second home buyers, is the Del/Mar Coastal region, where the number of active listings was up 19% in June. Prices are still rising, but beach properties are more plentiful than they were a year ago.

“Buying a beach property during the pandemic made more sense for some families since they were not otherwise able to travel and could work and learn remotely for weeks or even months at a time,” said Sturtevant. “Now, that lifestyle isn’t possible for most people. It’s back to just a week or two of vacation during the year.”

MARGENAU: Yes, rich people should get social securit

I get lots of emails from readers expressing sentiments similar to what these guys recently sent me: “Why should rich people get Social Security? I think it’s just morally wrong that wealthy people should be able to collect a Social Security check!” Here is another example: “Why all the fuss about Social Security going broke? We could save the system forever if we just take rich people off the program!”

I always respond to these people by making the following points. Social Security isn’t now, and never has been, a welfare program. One of the basic tenets of Social Security is that if you work and pay taxes for a required amount of time, you are going to get a Social Security benefit someday. And you get that benefit if you are poor or if you are rich. In other words, if you pay into the system, you’re going to get something out of the system. It’s as simple as that.

Or to put that yet another way. Social Security has never been means-tested. And if we ever were to do that, by decreeing that certain people are too wealthy to get Social Security, then you start turning Social Security into a welfare program. And I think that is a slippery slope we do not want to descend.

But if we were to do the unthinkable and means-test the program, especially as part of some package of reforms intended to “save Social Security,” then where do you draw the line? I mean, how rich is too rich to get Social Security? When I ask this question of guys like those who sent me the emails I included above, they will usually quickly say something like: “Billionaires shouldn’t

get Social Security!”

Well, if you are doing that as part of a plan to keep Social Security solvent for future generations, it’s a totally worthless gesture. According to a Google search I did, the U.S. is home to about 770 billionaires. So, knocking 770 people off the program, out of the hundreds of millions of current and future beneficiaries, is absolutely meaningless.

And if you want them off the program because you think it is “morally wrong,” then I can only repeat the point I made earlier. These folks worked and paid Social Security taxes just like everyone else, so they should be able to get Social Security benefits just like everyone else.

And speaking of what rich people pay into the system, let me make some points about a related issue. Many people think that one of the Social Security reforms should be a plan to make rich people pay more into the system.

For the entire 86-year history of the program, there has been a cap on the wages subject to Social Security tax. That cap has certainly inched its way up over the years, from $3,000 in 1937 to $160,200 today. But some say the cap should be raised rather steeply, or even eliminated.

But here is what people don’t realize when they float such ideas. Social Security benefits are tied to a person’s taxable wages. In other words, the more you pay into the program, the more you are going to get out of the program. So, if you sharply increase the wage base for wealthier people, you are concurrently going to sharply increase the

benefits these wealthy people will someday get in return. And so, a lot of the extra money you think you are pumping into the Social Security pipeline as part of a reform package will simply pour out of the other end of the pipe in future benefits for the well-to-do.

In other words, if you dramatically raise or even eliminate the wage cap to help “save Social Security,” what you’d have to do is place a cap on the benefits paid out of the system to wealthier people to make that kind of reform work. And that would be a hard thing to pull off politically.

And before I wrap up my discussion of wealthy people and Social Security, there is one final point I need to make. Earlier, I said that Social Security is not a welfare program. But having said that, I must point out that there actually are certain “social welfare” characteristics that have been an intrinsic part of Social Security’s makeup from the very beginning. After all, the word “social” isn’t included in the name of the program just because it alliteratively looks good next to the word “security.”

To put that another way, there always have been social goals for American society built into the DNA of Social Security. And one of those goals is to raise the standard of living in retirement for lower-income people.

So how does Social Security achieve that goal? With a benefit formula that is skewed to give lower-income people a better deal out of the system than that offered to wealthier folks. That doesn’t mean that low-income people get higher benefits than better-off people do. Warren Buffett, for example,

certainly gets a significantly higher Social Security benefit than the maid who cleans his mansion will get someday when she retires. But as a percentage of what they kicked into the system (in the form of Social Security taxes), that maid will get a much better “rate of return” than Buffett gets.

I don’t have the space here today to get into the intricacies of the Social Security benefit formula, but that maid could potentially end up with a benefit that represents 90% of her pre-retirement income. On the other hand, Warren Buffett’s Social Security benefit might only be about 30% of his Social Security taxable income (and only a teeny-tiny fraction of his actual income).

And in case you’re wondering, the Social Security benefit formula is set up so that most of us (in other words, people with average incomes) end up with a Social Security benefit that is about 42% of our pre-retirement income.

GOLDMAN: Want to earn a lot more? Think a lot less.

Ever wonder what’s holding you back at work?

It could be something you do when you’re not at work. Thinking.

Thinking about how you’re falling behind in your projects. Thinking about how a wave of layoffs could be on the horizon. Thinking about whether your co-workers are acting more suspicious than usual. Thinking about why Jackie in HR is giving you the fish eye. Thinking about why your manager keeps their door closed. Thinking about how you can brush the cobwebs off your resume. Thinking about why no one invites you to lunch. Thinking about how you can possibly stop thinking about work.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about thinking, ever since I read “How to Stop Thinking About Work All the Time,” a recent article by Jancee Dunn in The New York Times. And here’s what I think: Dunn is definitely onto something.

So is psychologist and Ted talker Guy Winch, whose practice focuses on “how to limit work-related overthinking.”

According to Winch, “when we succumb to negative work rumination -- persistent and repetitive thoughts around issues at our jobs -- it feels urgent and important, but it’s actually unproductive.”

When you bring work worries home,

you’re not helping yourself; you’re stressing yourself. Nor are you doing your employer any favors. You may believe that spending all night obsessing on work problems will help you find new solutions. It’s much more likely that you will find fatigue and burnout. And that’s crazy.

You really don’t need more reasons to make yourself miserable. That’s your manager’s job.

Are there strategies to help you turn off your brain at the end of the workday?

Dr. Winch has some helpful thoughts, guaranteed to make your work life much better. I have added some ideas of my own, guaranteed to make your work life much worse. No need to thank me. Just doing my job.

No. 1: Keep a journal.

Keeping track of how many hours you spend stewing over work issues will be illuminating. It could also be lucrative. Turn your weekly worry report in to the accounting department as a legitimate work expense. Considering how little time you spend thinking during the workday, your late-night cogitations could represent your biggest contribution to your company’s inevitable collapse, and you certainly deserve to be compensated for it.

No. 2: Set guardrails.

Dr. Winch recommends you “establish

a clear line when your workday ends, and be strict about maintaining it.” One way to do this is to “ritualize your transition from home to job by changing your clothes.” If you wear casual clothes to work, or work from home in your PJs, establishing clear lines may require you to go to extremes, like ending the workday by putting on a sleek Prada tuxedo or slipping into a slinky Balmain evening gown. A more affordable solution is to simply take off your clothes when the 5 o’clock whistle blows. Trust me, if you want problems to think about that have absolutely nothing to do with work, start commuting naked.

No. 3: Turn ruminative thoughts into productive ones.

Endlessly worrying about work will not improve your job or your mental health. If you’re going to be up all night stressing, focus on finding solutions to business problems that are realistic and actionable. Since these don’t exist, spend your time coming up with nasty gossip that you can start spreading the next morning. This way, you’ll have time for true career-enhancing activities, like toasting your competition and buttering up your boss.

No. 4: Learn the difference between unplugging and recharging.

A recharging activity “leaves you feeling energized mentally and pleased

with yourself for doing it.” The activities recommended include working out, crafting or meditation. Clearly, crafting produces the most bang for the buck. Think how grateful your CEO will be when you present them with one of the Popsicle-stick bird feeders that so impressed your mother when you were in third grade. By expressing your creativity, you will be refreshed and recharged while establishing yourself once and for all as a weirdo everyone should leave alone.

No. 5: Distract yourself.

Instead of battling insomnia because you’re fixated on what’s happening at work, “try a memory exercise, like naming every teacher you can remember from kindergarten on up.” Even better, name every bad boss you remember, from simply awful to totally terrible on down. This could make you appreciate the boss you have now. It could also keep you up all night, but I wouldn’t worry.

You can sleep all day at work.

Is that all there is? Big companies’ 2nd quarter profit reports earn a big yawn from Wall Street

NEW YORK (AP) — Big U.S. companies are telling investors they earned fatter profits during the spring than feared. All they’re getting from Wall Street is a fat yawn.

Profits are the lifeblood of the stock market, and prices tend to track their movements over the long term. So it’s routine for stocks to get a comfortable boost when companies report results for a quarter that are better than analysts expected.

Over the last five years, stocks in the S&P 500 have risen an average of 1% in the four days around a better-than-forecast profit report, from two days before to two days after, according to FactSet. But this reporting season hasn’t echoed history at all.

Stocks of companies that beat profit expectations have actually seen their prices drop by an average of 0.5% over that window, according to FactSet. That’s as of the end of last week, with nearly six out of seven companies in the S&P 500 having reported. That would be the worst such quarter in more than a decade.

Consider Apple. Last week it reported stronger profit for the spring than analysts expected, amounting to $19.88 billion, or enough to send nearly $60 to every American.

But its stock nevertheless tumbled 4.8% in its first day of trading following the report. Its revenue only barely beat analysts’ estimates, and its forecast for revenue in the

current quarter didn’t blow past expectations.

Like the rest of the market, Apple may have been a victim of its own prior success. It stock had already cruised 47% higher for the year before its profit report last week, meaning high expectations were already built into its price.

Broadly, profit reports for this quarter may have been a “sell the news” moment for the market, according to Michael Wilson, equity strategist at Morgan Stanley.

Investors may have been “buying the rumor” during the market’s earlier run up. The S&P 500 had rallied 19.5% through the first seven months of the year, and it was climbing heading into this reporting season even though analysts were forecasting the worst decline in S&P 500 profits since the summer of 2020.

And even though profits are indeed coming in better than expected for S&P 500 companies so far this reporting season, they’re still on track for a third straight quarter of declines from year-ago levels.

It’s nevertheless tough to draw takeaways on what it means for the market when stocks fall following stronger profit reports than expected. That’s in large part because the phenomenon is relatively rare.

Historically, the index has typically risen in the one and three months following such a quarter, according to Morgan Stanley.

Pacaso has released its 2023 Second Home Attitude Report, to better understand what’s motivating second home buyers. Applied Research West (ARW), a trusted research firm, conducted a quantitative survey to identify trends among existing and aspiring second homeowners. The research targeted more than 400 high net worth respondents with a net worth of $250,000 or greater per year across the United States.

According to the data analyzed by Pacaso’s research team, co-ownership can be a solution for those seeking to spend more time with their extended family. It was found that 57% of aspiring second homeowners believe that their family would spend more time with them if they owned or co-owned a second home. Furthermore, the majority (81%) of people would prefer to spend their money on a second home today rather than leaving behind a larger inheritance. For these current and aspiring second homeowners, the ability to drive to a second home is a key consideration, with 70% expressing a preference for driving over flying.

“Prospective and current second homeowners prioritize the freedom to enjoy life while they’re young and spend more time with family, rather than saving excessively for retirement or leaving behind a large inheritance,” said Pacaso CEO and Co-founder Austin Allison. “The memories people create in a second home are an investment that holds far greater value than mere money. With Pacaso, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: creating cherished memories and having confidence in a vibrant marketplace and resale return.”

Memories over money aka YOLO

81% of people would rather spend money today on family vacations or in a second home versus passing more money along to children as inheritance.

Second homeowner you, is the cooler you

57% of aspiring second homeowners believe their extended family would be more interested in spending time with them if they owned/co-owned a second home.

Furthermore, 62% of current and aspiring second homeowners spend two weeks per year or less on vacation with extended family, but would like these vacations to happen more often.

Second home dreamers and owners still love a road trip

The 2022 Pacaso Second Home Attitude Report found that nearly twothirds of people (64%) commute or expect to commute to their second home in four hours or less and the majority (87%) want to drive. The 2023 report yielded the same result with the majority (70%) of aspiring second homeowners preferring to be within driving distance of their second home.

“We have seen a significant surge in demand for second homes in drive markets from major metro cities,” continued Austin Allison. “People are seeking the perfect balance between convenience via proximity and the serene escape of a second home.

The desire to have a getaway within a reasonable driving distance became a

growing trend during the pandemic, but is still a top preference with current and soon-to-be second homeowners. The Lake Tahoe area serves as a prime example, located just one hour away from Reno, four hours from San Francisco, and two hours from Sacramento.”

In direct response to buyer demand for drive markets, Pacaso is introducing several remarkable properties to its marketplace inventory this summer in popular easy-toget-to destination communities, including Home Run and Majestic in Lake Tahoe, West District in Jackson, Wyoming, a

forthcoming home in Vail, and Southern California homes Pacific Place and Desert Ridge located in the greater Newport Beach and Palm Springs areas.

In June 2023, Pacaso experienced a significant 59% increase in funded shares compared to May 2023. These impressive figures reinforce Pacaso’s position as the leading provider of co-ownership opportunities, demonstrating its commitment to exceptional homeownership experiences and the growing demand for second homes.

Think your family is using you for your second home? They are.

JELD-WEN Survey: Renovations, Energy Efficiency are Top of Mind for U.S. Homeowners Amid Current Housing Market

Energy-efficient home renovation is emerging as a key solution to U.S. homeowners balancing a volatile housing market with a desire to boost curb appeal, finds the new “Opening Doors” survey by JELD-WEN, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance interior and exterior building products.

The survey found that, given the current real estate landscape, more homeowners say now is a good time to renovate or remodel a house and that energy efficiency is a key motivator for those looking to replace or install new exterior doors.

Despite trying to limit overall spending due to economic pressures, nearly half of respondents (47%) are willing to pay extra for a more sustainable or ecofriendly product or service for their home — with most willing to pay for an upgrade that provides long-term cost savings (74%). In addition, three out of 10

(30%) homeowners who are replacing or installing new exterior doors are doing so to increase their home’s energy efficiency.

“As the U.S. home improvement market is expected to hit record highs this year, we’re seeing homeowners prioritize lowlift updates that create a high impact,” said Jim Parello, JELD-WEN’s vice president and general manager of doors for North America. “Making investments in a home that will pay off in the long run is crucial, especially when it comes to energy efficiency. At JELD-WEN, sustainability is at the core of what we do, and when it comes to door innovation, we continue to offer a breadth of product options that are stylish, durable and energy efficient.”

Leading the way in energy efficiency is JELD-WEN’s range of exterior steel and fiberglass doors. JELD-WEN’s fiberglass door portfolio, including Smooth-Pro and Design-Pro Fiberglass, combines

functionality with looks, delivering strong doors that require minimal maintenance and a variety of finishes that can be painted or stained any color. Fiberglass doors offer durable aesthetic appeal and are resistant to rot, dents, cracks and splits. JELD-WEN’s fiberglass doors function well in any climate, with many options that are ENERGY STAR rated. While energy efficiency is top of mind for most consumers, JELD-WEN’s survey also revealed:

• Security is the most important characteristic of a front door, followed by durability. 70% of homeowners ranked security in their top three most important front door characteristics, and 65% ranked durability in their top three.

• Style, comfort and safety remain in the top five reasons for installing or replacing exterior doors year over year.

• Nearly nine in 10 homeowners say the front door is important for a home’s curb appeal.

“Although many homeowners think primarily of wood when considering exterior doors, material science has advanced fiberglass and steel doors to home heroes,” said Jennifer Matson, JELD-WEN’s vice president for doors product management. “With energyefficient strength, durability and security across a broad spectrum of stylish designs, glass types and finish options – fiberglass and steel doors can be both beautiful and functional.”

JELD-WEN helps homeowners enhance their curb appeal and make the right choice for doors through their style collections arranged in four distinct looks: farmhouse, coastal, updated traditional or simply modern. Staff report
