Home equity trends mixed across U.S. In third quarter despite continued price increases ATTOM has released its third-quarter 2023 U.S. Home Equity & Underwater Report, which shows that 47.4 percent of mortgaged residential properties in the United States were considered equityrich in the third quarter, meaning that the combined estimated amount of loan balances secured by those properties was no more than half of their estimated market values.

The portion of mortgaged homes that was equity-rich in the third quarter of 2023 decreased from 49.2 percent in the second quarter of 2023 – the largest quarterly decline since at least 2019. The latest figure also was down from 48.5 percent in the third quarter of 2022. Those declines happened despite home values rebounding recently from a fallback that had lasted from the middle of last year to the early part of this year.

But while equity-rich levels dropped in the third quarter, the report also shows that the portion of mortgaged homes that were seriously underwater in the U.S. continued to improve.

Just 2.5 percent of all residential mortgages, or one in 40, were considered seriously underwater in the third quarter of 2023. That meant they had a combined estimated balance of loans secured by the property of at least 25 percent more than the property’s estimated market value. The seriously underwater level dropped from one in 36 homes in the second quarter and

from one in 35 in the third quarter of 2022, to the lowest point in at least four years.

“By all measures, homeowner equity around the country remained strong during the third quarter as millions of households kept benefitting from the nation’s extended runup in home values. At the same, though, we saw an unusual downturn at the equityrich end of the spectrum,” said Rob Barber, chief executive officer for ATTOM. “That could have just been a temporary blip. It also could have reflected an increase in long-time owners who had lots of equity built up selling their homes, or perhaps borrowing against their rising wealth and slipping out of equity rich territory. The fourth quarter data should say more about whether residential equity in the U.S. has indeed topped out.”

The mixed equity patterns came as the U.S. housing market continued recovering from the downturn that had threatened to end the decade-long run of price and equity growth.

The median nationwide single-family home price rose 11 percent over the second and third quarters of this year following an 8 percent drop from mid-2022 to early 2023. Values went back up as the job market remained strong, with the national unemployment rate below 4 percent, and consumer-price inflation was down to less than half the level of a year earlier. A strong investment market also put more money in the hands of potential buyers.

An ongoing tight supply of homes put additional upward pressure on prices along with a temporary lull in a two-year rise in home mortgage rates.

The potential for more uneven equity trends remains in place as mortgage rates rise toward 8 percent for a 30-year loan and the housing market heads into its annual slow season, which usually leads to smaller price increases or even small declines.

Equity-rich share of mortgages drops in almost 30 states

The portion of mortgages that were equity-rich went down in 29 of the 50 U.S. states from the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023, commonly by one to four percentage points. The biggest declines came in the South region, led

by South Carolina (portion of mortgages homes considered equity-rich decreased from 50 percent in the second quarter of 2023 to 43.7 percent in the third quarter of 2023), Florida (down from 60.4 percent to 54.4 percent), Kentucky (down from 42.1 percent to 37.1 percent), California (down from 63.3 percent to 58.5 percent) and Oklahoma (down from 36.5 percent to 32.5 percent).

At the other end of the scale, equityrich levels rose in 21 states from the second quarter to the third quarter of this year, with the largest improvements

Americans worry they may never retire JOHN DEALBREUIN | WEALTH OF GEEKS The 2023 Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) survey shows a decline in Americans’ confidence regarding their ability to live comfortably in retirement.

The last time a drop of this magnitude in confidence was observed was during the 2008 global financial crisis.

Approximately 80% of workers expressed apprehension regarding the potential for a recession within the following year.

About 90% of respondents said they are concerned regarding the persistence of high inflation.

Inflation’s Shadow The EBRI Retirement Confidence Survey shows inflation is weighing on the minds of Americans, with a significant majority of workers (84%) and retirees (67%) expressing concern regarding the rising cost of living, making it harder for them to save money.

About 75% of employees worried about their salaries keeping pace with inflationary pressures, while 50% of retirees note that their overall expenditures exceed initial projections.

Household budgets are also under pressure, with 73% of workers and 58% of retirees anticipating making substantial spending cuts in response to inflation.

A recent Gallup Poll shows that 60% of Americans are worried about inflation and the economy. In 2022 and 2023, inflation and the economy have emerged as the primary concerns due to the unprecedented surge in

prices to a level not seen in the past four decades.

Retirement Savings Impacted The decrease in retirement account balances is a concern as Americans prepare for retirement.

About 40% of workers and 58% of retirees indicate retirement account balances have decreased over the past 12 months.

Increased volatility in stock market investments has resulted in 74% of workers opting for more conservative investments in their workplace retirement plans.

Paul Culbreth, CFP, shares an example of his 64-year-old client living in North Carolina who is frequently worried about retirement and whether she has enough money to retire.

He says, “She makes about $148K per year and had $2.3mm in investable assets last year when we completed the plan. With only $80K in annual expenses (inflated at 3%) and assumed growth of her investments at 5%, the plan estimated that her total income-generating assets at age 90 was just under $5mm. Her plan suggests that she had enough to retire with base assumptions, so I recommended reducing the overall risk in her investments as she does not need to take on additional risk. This eased her concerns momentarily.”

Approximately 75% of workers and 66% of retirees prioritize guaranteeing a consistent monthly income for life compared to preserving principal balances.

Unfortunately, 2022 and 2023 are not a typical year for

stocks and bonds compared to historical averages.

Even conservative-leaning portfolios suffered, with bond investments performing the worst in the last 40 years.

The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned -13.01% in 2022.

Social Security and Medicare Concerns Worker confidence regarding Medicare has also declined, with just half of respondents feeling somewhat confident it will continue to provide benefits of equal value to those received today.

Amanda M. Howerton, CFP, CDFA, advocates building a plan that addresses retiree’s financial goals and incorporates their feelings and values surrounding money. She says, “If peace of mind is a dearly held value, it typically goes hand in hand with not being a burden to others.

“Some specific worries are the cost of healthcare and rising long-term care expenses.

For clients concerned explicitly about this, we model these costs in our planning software and

talk about whether or not saving and spending habits need to change, or whether or not we need to consider long-term care insurance.”

Moreover, a recent Axios/ Ipsos poll shows Americans believe they cannot rely on Social Security to cover their expenses during retirement.

About 62% of Americans who are not retired feel that Social Security will cover less than half of their costs.

Just 37% of retired people say that Social Security covers less than half of their expenses.

According to the 2022 Social Security Trustees report estimates, retirees in 2034 will receive only 77% of their benefits if Congress does not update the program.

Delaying Retirement The EBRI survey indicates about 33% of workers anticipate retiring at 70 or later or never retiring.

According to a Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies report, 40% of Generation X workers and nearly half of boomers anticipate retiring after 70

Third & Urban Completes Construction on Pass 41, Announces New Tenants Two entertainment concepts, Borderline Bar & Billiards and PINE, will join Soul Gastrolounge at the growing mixed-use district next year A locally owned bar and billiards establishment and a chic, new-tomarket event venue will join Soul Gastrolounge at The Pass next year, Third & Urban has announced. The mixed-use developer also announced the completion of construction on the project’s first phase -- called Pass 41 -which encompasses 80,000 square feet of walkable retail, entertainment and office space, as well as local art murals and outdoor gathering spaces.

Located at 530 E. Sugar Creek Road and 4100 and 4212 Raleigh Streets, The Pass is a 12-acre, trailand transit-oriented mixed-use development in Charlotte’s popular NoDa Arts District. The multi-phase, adaptive reuse project is bracketed by the Cross Charlotte Trail, the light rail at Sugar Creek Station and a pocket park underneath an overpass, which will soon be home to a mini pitch soccer field and art mural as part of Charlotte Football Club’s Pitches for Progress program. The mini pitch is the result of a collaborative public private partnership with the City of Charlotte, Third & Urban, Charlotte Football Club and its founding partner, Ally, which is the nation’s largest alldigital bank.

With substantial construction on Pass 41 now complete, Third & Urban is focused on tenant build outs and the construction of the multifamily building. First retail tenants are expected to open in spring 2024 and first residents are expected to move in during summer 2025. The team is also activating the outdoor gathering areas with placemaking strategies and murals by local artists, including Luvly Moon, Carla Aaron-Lopez and Pino. Future phases – aptly named Pass 42 and Pass 43 – will bring approximately 180,000 square feet of additional commercial space to the development.

Co-founder of Third & Urban, Hank Farmer, said of the project, “We are carefully building a new district in NoDa that will be home to a community of entrepreneurs, artists and many others who feel inspired by being here.

The character of the original buildings, mixed with the new construction, the infusion of local art, and the direct connectivity to trails, greenspace and transit makes this place special. We look forward to welcoming the public to The Pass over the course of the next

year.”

Odell is the project architect for The Pass, Urban Design Partners is the civil engineer, and Gay Construction is the general contractor. Foundry Commercial is handling office leasing, and Thrift Commercial Real Estate is in charge of retail leasing.

Similarly, Axios/Ipsos’s retirement poll indicates that about 20% of Americans believe they will never retire due to financial worries. Most Americans who have yet to retire (52%) intend to relocate to an area with a lower cost of living upon retirement.

Retirement Planning Can Help Ease Concerns Retirement is one of the most significant transitions in life. Retirees

Borderline Bar & Billiards

From one of the owners of Charlotte’s popular gastropub, The Degenerate, comes a new bar concept set to open at The Pass, taking 4,000 square feet (excluding the patio). Borderline Bar & Billiards will feature a full bar, a curated cocktail and craft beer list, and multiple regulation size pool tables and dart boards, all set within a comfortable neighborhood bar scene.

An 1,800-square-foot patio will extend the space outdoors with additional seating, a firepit, and social games such as cornhole.

Since moving to Charlotte six years ago, the owner of Borderline Bar & Billiards, Greg Guillorn, has dreamt of opening a bar reminiscent of his youth. Having grown up playing pool, Guillorn aspires to create a place with the same neighborhood bar vibe, filled with great drinks and games.

Greg said of the decision, “I moved to Charlotte about six years ago and I’ve been living in NoDa for the past four years. It’s definitely my favorite part of the city. There are other great neighborhoods but NoDa in particular is fun, diverse, and full of interesting things to do, so when searching for a location for Borderline, The Pass felt like a great fit. I hope to create a space that brings people together for some friendly competition, great drinks, and good times. I’m very excited about opening our doors and contributing to the culture and night life of the neighborhood I’ve become so fond of.”

For more information or to book a tour, visit https://pine.828venues.com/ or email party@pine.828venues.com.

Blending seamlessly with the industrial architecture of The Pass, PINE, the newest venue from 828 Venue Management Company, boasts a sophisticated and modern space curated to complement any and every occasion, including weddings, corporate events, social celebrations and more.

The 12,000-square-foot restored warehouse can accommodate 320 guests for seated events and many more for cocktail-style events. PINE

features a fully furnished lounge located on the mezzanine level which overlooks the main event space, two client suites, a built-in bar and a catering kitchenette. The crisp white walls and timeless chandeliers create an elegant blank canvas that allow clients to bring their own unique style and design to the space while providing a backdrop that stands on its own, even with minimal decor.

Since hosting their first event in 2014, the 828 team has mastered the art of venue management. With seven other unique event spaces operating across the U.S., PINE will mark the brand’s first location in North Carolina.

828 Venue Management Company set out to reimagine the events industry, looking to create spaces that put freedom and flexibility back into the hands of its clients. With venue spaces offering a flexible vendor policy, clients are able to truly customize their events.

“When choosing where to open our newest venue, we couldn’t imagine a better place than The Pass, located in an area steeped in history, art, diversity, and culture,” said Lauren Tankersley, CEO of 828 Venue Management Company. “We are thrilled to make our first foray into the Charlotte market and know our clients will love the urban convenience and amenities. We can’t wait to see all the beautiful celebrations that will happen here.”

today face higher inflation, economic uncertainty, and political turmoil, in addition to the typical concerns of healthcare costs, living too long, running out of money, maintaining a certain standard of living, and being able to fulfill bucket list items.

Unsurprisingly, this transition creates a lot of anxiety about preparedness for people approaching retirement.

The only way to address these concerns with high confidence is to complete a financial plan that measures the likelihood of success

by modeling an individual’s income, expenses, growth of investments, debt payoff, and what-if scenarios that keep the potential retiree awake at night.

There is no golden rule for retirement, as too many variables from one person to the next can alter the probability of success. Completing a financial plan will help retirees know where they currently stand based on their goals and current finances and guide them on improving their likelihood of success.

The prospect of retirement is

increasingly becoming a source of anxiety among Americans. Economic challenges, rising healthcare costs, and living expenses have led to growing concerns that they may never reach a financially secure retirement. With uncertain Social Security benefits and inadequate savings, the vision of a peaceful retirement seems more like an elusive dream than a reachable reality for many.

Construction employment rises by 11,000 jobs in September The construction industry added 11,000 jobs in September as unemployment rates for the sector remained at historically low levels, prompting contractors to raise pay faster than for other jobs, according to an analysis of new government data the Associated General Contractors of America released. Association officials noted that the number of people working on nonresidential construction projects declined for the month as firms struggle to find enough workers to hire amid tight labor conditions.

“Construction firms have plenty of projects but a dip in nonresidential employment last month shows how hard it has been to find enough skilled workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Job openings remain stubbornly high, even though the industry has been raising hourly pay at an elevated rate.”

Construction employment in September totaled 8,014,000, seasonally adjusted, with a gain of 11,000 or 0.1 percent from August. The sector has added 217,000 jobs during the past 12 months, an increase of 2.8 percent. Residential building and specialty trade contractors added 12,600 employees in September and 55,300 (1.7 percent) over 12 months. Employment at nonresidential construction firms— nonresidential building and specialty trade contractors along with heavy and civil engineering construction firms— declined by 1,300 positions for the month but increased by 161,600 (3.5 percent) since September 2022.

The unemployment rate among jobseekers with construction experience was 3.8 percent in September, one of the lowest September rates in the 24year history of the data. A separate government report released earlier this week reported that there were 360,00 job openings in construction at the end of August, the second-highest August total in series history and a further sign of contractors’ difficulty in finding qualified workers.

Average hourly earnings for production

and nonsupervisory employees in construction—covering most onsite craft workers as well as many office workers— climbed by 5.5 percent over the year to $34.54 per hour. Construction firms in August provided a wage “premium” of nearly 19 percent compared to the average hourly earnings for all privatesector production employees.

Association officials said too few future workers are exposed to construction as a possible career opportunity, despite the fact the profession pays very well and typically does not require workers to have a college degree. They urged public officials to boost investments in programs that expose workers to construction as a career opportunity. And they also called on Congress and the Biden administration to find ways to allow more people with construction skills to lawfully enter the country and work in the profession.

“Allowing more people into the country to lawfully work in construction will provide short-term relief for labor shortages without creating a new segment of the population that is dependent on public support,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “At the same time, we need to show more American workers how much they can earn, and how little they will need to spend, to begin careers in construction.”

Wages take back seat to schedule flexibility and team relationships for small business workers Homebase is releasing results from their latest Hourly Worker Pulse Check, surveying nearly 500 small business hourly workers on their top concerns and priorities heading into fall. Here’s what we learned: • Despite historic inflation increases, competitive wages are NOT the top priority for hourly workers.

Schedule control and flexibility (57%) and good team relationships (54%) are the two most popular factors for

workers in deciding where to work, with wages coming in third (44%).

• 77% of hourly workers are happy with their jobs. This is compared to only 51% of the American workforce who, according to Pew Research, are highly satisfied with their jobs.

• Hourly workers have decreased optimism around future jobs.

Despite a rosier outlook from economists, only 34% of hourly workers think their job options will improve in 12 months, which has dropped steadily since July 2022 (42%). Inflation is still top of mind, with 64% reporting being worried about inflation, up from 56% in June 2023.

• Longer working hours are a growing concern, say 23% of respondents (up from 19% in June 2023), which signals to small business owners that seasonal hiring is necessary to relieve some pressure.

“In spite of reports about a cooling labor market, our Pulse Check reveals the unique POV of hourly workers,” said Homebase Founder and CEO, John Waldmann. “Workers remain happy with their jobs, but they’re concerned about inflation and future prospects, as well as longer working hours. Consistent wage inflation this summer has led to schedule flexibility and team relationships overtaking wages as the top two priorities for workers. We’ll keep an eye on seasonal hiring and changing worker concerns heading into fall,” said Waldmann.

44% of new hires regret their decision within a week

BambooHR has released a new Onboarding study revealing that companies have just 44 days on average to convince new hires to stay and that first impressions make a lasting impression, for better or worse. The study of 1,565 full-time US employees and 500 HR professionals showed that 70 percent of new hires decide if a new job is the right fit for them within the first month, with 29 percent knowing within the first week.

Alarmingly, 44 percent of new employees have regrets or second thoughts about their new role within the first week, with 23 percent admitting to crying during their first week.

One solution to new hire angst is surprisingly simple: New hires value workplace friendships more than meeting the CEO, with 87 percent hoping to make a friend at work and 93 percent wanting to shadow a colleague.

As news of labor strikes and surprising job market resilience dominate headlines, Americans are looking for new work, and this BambooHR study brings to light how critical onboarding is to employee happiness, success in a new role, and whether new hires stay long-term or not.

“These findings show that recruiting top talent doesn’t end with an offer letter,” said Anita Grantham, Head of HR at BambooHR. “Smart organizations know that onboarding is actually ‘hiring phase two’ and is much more than a welcome

email and a tech checklist. Those critical first 44 days need to create new hire confidence by continuing to advocate for the company’s mission and values, the importance of the role they fill, and the plans for growth and success a new employee can anticipate.”

Employees’ top frustrations with onboarding include a lack of clarity around who can answer questions (65 percent), inadequate training on company products and services (62 percent), and technology issues (51 percent).

Second mortgage market insights Q3 2023 finds active capital markets Home Equity Lending News LLC has published its Second Mortgage Market Insights Q3 2023. The report, sponsored

by Consolidated Analytics Inc., identifies growth areas, analyzes capital markets, and finds optimism about junior-lien lending and issuance.

“The last year has been a roller coaster ride for junior-lien lending as markets were jolted by a steep ascent in rates and a regional banking crisis,” HELN CEO Sam Garcia said. “But we’re now seeing increased issuance, greater credit union participation, and more M&A activity at a time when banks have slowed their home-equity growth.”

The study was based on data and insights analyzed, collected and reported on by HELN since the Q2 report.

Some of the findings from the report include: • HELOC volume lower, HEL business accelerating • Six home-equity deals issued in Q2 • Two second-mortgage wholesalers launched, one acquired • Two recent home-equity M&As • Two home-equity credit lines issued • Yields have soared, especially on RMBS • Spreads between 1st and 2nd mortgage doubled • AVMs dominated valuations, but regulators could curtail • Ratings agencies aren’t keen on less than full documentation • LOS expand home equity • Midwest and home renovations offer great opportunity • Internet searches for “home-equity” related phrases are at the highest level since at least 2004 • Several firms in home-equity sector reported C-Suite activity “With the uptick in HELOC activity and increased scrutiny on lenders, property valuations play a pivotal role in home-equity lending,” said Chris McLain, valuations division president, Consolidated Analytics.

“Several valuation products can help lenders assess the risk and equity available for borrowing. Consolidated Analytics’ experts and appraisers help ensure accurate valuations to inform decisions and maximize investment.”

MARGENAU: Social Security COLA for 2024 In mid-October every year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its muchanticipated report on changes (usually increases) to the Consumer Price Index over the past 12 months. Why is this little, esoteric government report -actually called the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers -- so popular? Because for the past 49 years, it’s the report that determines the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that Social Security beneficiaries will get the following year.

Because my column has a long lead time, what I am reporting here isn’t news to most of my readers. As I’m sure you already heard, all 66 million Social Security beneficiaries’ checks are going up 3.2% in 2024.

I always dread mentioning COLAs in this column because every single time I do, I am flooded with emails from readers complaining that the increase is not enough.

Yet here’s the rub: Many economists and social planners believe Social Security COLAs are too generous! (I’ve explained why in past columns, but don’t have the space to get into that argument today.) That’s why most discussions of long-range reform for Social Security include proposals to reduce cost of living increases.

OK, back to the 2024 Social Security COLA. Due to these increases, the

average monthly retirement check will be $1,907 in 2024, a $59 increase from the 2023 level. The maximum Social Security check for a worker turning full retirement age in 2024 will be $3,822, compared to $3,627 in 2023. And please note that $3,822 is the maximum for someone turning full retirement age in 2024. That does not mean it is the maximum Social Security payment anyone can receive.

There are millions of Social Security beneficiaries who get much more than that, primarily because they worked well past their FRA and/or delayed starting their benefits until age 70.

Here’s another important point about the COLA. Many readers have been asking me if they must file for Social Security benefits in 2023 in order to get the COLA that’s paid in January 2024.

The answer is no. The COLA will be built into the benefit computation formula. So even if you don’t file for Social Security until next year, or some subsequent year, you’ll still get the 3.2% increase.

Although this is a Social Security column, I must mention the upcoming increase in the Medicare Part B premium, which is deducted from Social Security checks for most people. In 2024, the basic Part B premium is projected to be $179.80. That’s $14.90 more than the 2023 rate. And as has been the case for 20 years now, wealthy people will pay more than the basic premium.

I don’t want to get into the complicated issue of Medicare premiums other than to make this quick point. Even though they are linked in the minds of most senior citizens, Social Security and Medicare are entirely separate programs, administered by entirely separate federal agencies, and they have entirely separate rules and regulations regarding their benefit and payment structures.

For example, I already explained how Social Security COLAs are figured. The Part B Medicare premium increase has nothing to do with the Bureau of Labor’s consumer price index. Instead, by law, it must be set at a level that covers 25% of the cost of running the program.

Taxpayers pick up the remaining 75%.

(And again, wealthy people pay more than the 25% share.)

Another measuring stick called the “national wage index” is used to set increases to other provisions of the law that affect Social Security beneficiaries and taxpayers. Specifically, this includes increases in the amount of wages or selfemployment income subject to Social Security tax; the amount of income needed to earn a “quarter of coverage”; and the Social Security earnings penalty limits.

The Social Security taxable earnings base will go up from $160,200 in 2023 to $168,600 in 2024. In other words, people who earn more than $168,600 in 2024 will no longer have Social Security payroll taxes deducted from their paychecks once they hit that threshold.

This has always been a very controversial provision of the law. (Bill Gates pays the same amount of Social Security tax as his plumber!) I think it’s a pretty good bet that any eventual Social Security reform package will include an increase in that wage base.

Most people need 40 Social Security work credits (sometimes called “quarters of coverage”) to be eligible for monthly benefit checks from the system. In 2023, people who were working earned one credit for each $1,640 in Social Security taxable income. But no one earns more than four credits per year. In other words, once you made $6,560, your Social Security record has been credited with the maximum four credits or quarters of coverage. In 2024, the one credit limit goes up to $1,730, meaning you will

have to earn $6,920 this coming year before you get the maximum four credits assigned to your Social Security account.

People under their full retirement age who get Social Security retirement or survivor’s benefits but who are still working are subject to limits in the amount of money they can earn and still receive all their Social Security checks.

That limit was $21,240 in 2023 and will be $22,320 in 2024. For every two dollars a person earns over those limits, one dollar is withheld from his or her monthly benefits.

There is a higher earnings threshold in the year a person turns full retirement age that applies from the beginning of the year until the month the person reaches FRA. (The income penalty goes away once a person reaches that magic age.)

That threshold goes up from $56,520 in 2023 to $59,520 in 2024.

A couple other Social Security provisions are also impacted by inflationary increases. For example, people getting disability benefits who try to work can generally continue getting those benefits as long as they are not working at a “substantial” level. In 2023, the law defined substantial work as any job paying $1,470 or more per month.

In 2024, that substantial earnings level increases to $1,550 monthly.

Finally, the Supplemental Security Income basic federal payment level for one person goes up from $914 in 2023 to $943 in 2024. SSI is a federal welfare program administered by the Social Security Administration, but it is not a Social Security benefit. It is paid for out of general revenues, not Social Security taxes.

GOLDMAN: How CEOs can save the office (Warning: This column is for CEOs only.)

If you’re a CEO, you’re probably in a bad mood right now. And rightly so.

Your stockholders complain every time the price of your stock drops a measly 50% or 60% or 70%. Your employees complain simply because you’re paid 400 times the salary of the average worker.

Most annoying of all, no one will come back to the office.

It’s intolerable!

Provide an efficient workspace in a charming high-rise or a bucolic office park, and still, your ungrateful employees insist on working from the miserable hovels they call home.

It’s not like you’re unwilling to compromise.

When your employees wouldn’t come to the office five days a week, you offered the olive branch that is hybrid work. Come in for four days, you said. Or three. Or the third Monday of every month when Mercury is retrograde.

In other words, drop in whenever the mood strikes you.

And still they stay home.

Oh, they will jump on Zoom for a meeting now and then, but what fun is it to run a meeting when there’s no one sitting at a conference table, shaking in their boots? Why, with no one in the office, you can’t even fire your employees.

How is it possible to send someone home when they’re home already?

No wonder CEOs are fed up and not going to take it anymore.

Like Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who told employees who refused to return on his schedule, “It’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon.” Or JP Morgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon, who announced that “managers may

consider attendance in performance reviews and take ‘corrective action’ if requirements are not met.”

Whatever hardcore CEOs like Jassy and Dimon are doing, it isn’t working.

According to “The Five-Day Office Week Is Dead,” a recent article in The New York Times by Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom, today’s office occupancy rates “were at 50% of February 2020 levels.”

“That is shocking,” concluded the professor. “Only half as many days are spent in the office compared with prepandemic times.”

Is there a solution to this dilemma?

Yes, there is.

Instead of putting all your effort into pulling employees into your office, where they can be supervised by your managers, turn it around and begin pushing your managers into your employees’ home offices.

Starting with you.

Imagine the joy in your employee’s face when they answer the doorbell at 6 a.m. to find you standing there. In you stride, stopping briefly to wipe the noses of your employee’s children as they leave for their jobs at the poultry processing plant.

Since your employee will likely be working from the kitchen or dining room, you take the bedroom. What a wonderful surprise when your employee’s partner wakes up to find you in the closet, making an inventory of your employee’s wardrobe blunders for inclusion in their quarterly review.

As a CEO, you spend your morning making phone calls, arranging golf games and discussing CEO matters, like company-wide layoffs and moving headquarters to fourth-world countries where “people appreciate a steady paycheck.” If your employee hears

concentrated in the Northeast region. The biggest increases were in South Dakota (up from 46.4 percent to 49.9 percent), Maine (up from 56 percent to 59.3 percent), Connecticut (up from 38.6 percent to 41.5 percent), New Jersey (up from 43 percent to 45.9 percent) and New Hampshire (up from 56.6 percent to 59.4 percent).

Seriously-underwater mortgage levels improve in most states

The portion of mortgaged homes considered seriously underwater dropped, and remained historically low, during the third quarter of 2023 in 43 states. The biggest decreases were clustered in the Midwest and the Northeast, a region that has some of the nation’s higher levels of seriously underwater mortgages. The improvements were led by Indiana (share of mortgaged homes that were seriously underwater down from 8.1 percent in the second quarter of 2023 to 2.6 percent in the third quarter of 2023), Hawaii (down from 3.6 percent to 1.6 percent), South Dakota (down from 4 percent to 2.6 percent), Missouri (down from 4.8 percent to 3.9 percent) and Maine (down from 2.7 percent to 1.9 percent).

States where the percentage of seriously underwater homes increased the most from the second to the third quarter of this year were led by Wyoming (up from 3 percent

Highest levels of equity-rich homeowners in Northeast and West

The 10 states with the highest levels of equity-rich mortgaged properties around the U.S. during the third quarter of 2023 were in the Northeast and West regions.

Those with the largest portions were Vermont (79.8 percent of mortgaged homes were equity-rich), New Hampshire (59.4 percent), Maine (59.3 percent), Montana (59.1 percent) and California (58.5 percent).

Nine of the 10 states with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties during the third quarter of 2023 were in the Midwest and South. The smallest portions were in Louisiana (19.7 percent of mortgaged homes were equity-rich), Illinois (29.8 percent), Alaska (29.8 percent), West Virginia (30.5 percent) and North Dakota (30.7 percent).

Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas around the nation with a population of at least 500,000, the West and South again dominated the list of places with the highest portion of mortgaged properties that were equity-rich. All but three of the top 25 metros were in those regions during the third quarter of 2023, led by San Jose,

you, no problem. It will increase their understanding of the pressure on you.

Generously, you take time in your busy morning to drop in on your employee and review their work in progress. After you have eviscerated their projects, turn your attention to other aspects of your employee’s life, like how they could brighten their dreary home by upgrading the window treatments, and the how a regression analysis of their laundry basket indicates beyond statistical doubt their partner is cheating on them. Given your CEO-level communications skills, you will have no problem convincing your employee they need couples counseling, which the company health plan will not pay for.

With your employee’s life and home decor issues resolved, set up a light lunch of lobster and chardonnay at Chez Garage. Bring cottage cheese for your employee, who definitely needs to lose weight and will certainly appreciate

your diet advice.

It will then be time to start discussing the afternoon schedule, but before you bring out the white boards, your employee will have changed out of their sweats, ready, willing and desperate to return to the office.

As your other executives start working in employees’ homes, word will spread, and you will no longer have trouble convincing everyone to return to the office. At which point, you can start working from home.

It’s quite delightful, and you deserve it.

The average long-term US mortgage rate slips to 7.76% in first drop after climbing 7 weeks in a row

BY ALEX VEIGA AP BUSINESS WRITER LOS ANGELES (AP) — The average rate on the benchmark 30-year home loan fell slightly this week, ending a seven-week climb — modest relief for prospective homebuyers grappling with an increasingly unaffordable housing market.

The decline brought the average rate on a 30-year mortgage down to 7.76% from 7.79% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. A year ago, the rate averaged 6.95%.

As mortgage rates rise, they can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting how much they can afford in a market already out of reach for many Americans. They also discourage homeowners who locked in far lower rates two years ago, when they were around 3%, from selling.

The combination of rising mortgage rates and home prices have weighed on sales of previously occupied U.S. homes, which fell in September for the fourth month in a row, grinding to their slowest pace in more than a decade.

The average rate on a 30-year home loan climbed above 6% in September 2022 and has remained above that threshold since. Rates have risen along with the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing loans.

Investors’ expectations for future inflation, global demand for U.S. Treasurys and what the Fed does with interest rates can influence rates on home loans.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury had been rising in recent weeks, jumping to more than 5% last week, its highest level since 2007, as bond traders responded to signals from the Federal Reserve that the central bank might have to keep its

At least half of all mortgaged properties considered equity-rich in about 40 percent of zip codes

Among 9,067 U.S. zip codes that had at least 2,000 residential properties with mortgages in the third quarter of 2023, there were 3,708 (41 percent) where at least half the mortgaged properties were equity-rich.

Thirty of the top 50 zip codes were in California, with 28 of the 50 in Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. The largest shares were in zip codes 11963 in Sag Harbor, NY (87 percent of mortgaged properties were equity-rich); 83340 in Ketchum, ID (86.5 percent); 95148 in San Jose, CA (86.1 percent); 95062 in Santa Cruz, CA (84.7 percent) and 92011 in Carlsbad, CA (84.7 percent).

Largest shares of seriously underwater mortgages remain in Midwest and South

key short-term rate higher for longer in order to tame inflation.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve opted against raising its main interest rate for a second straight policy meeting.

That pulled bond yields lower, sending the 10-year Treasury yield to 4.63% late Wednesday. The yield was at 4.69% in afternoon trading Thursday. It was at roughly 3.50% in May and just 0.50% early in the pandemic.

“The Federal Reserve again decided not to raise interest rates, but have not ruled out a hike before year-end,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Coupled with geopolitical uncertainty, this ambiguity around monetary policy will likely have an impact on the overall economic landscape and may continue to stall improvements in the housing market.”

Even though the average rate on a 30-year mortgage remains below 8%, as calculated by Freddie Mac, it’s merely an average. Many homebuyers are likely already being quoted 8% rates or higher on a home loan because rate quotes vary based on the borrower’s creditworthiness, home loan and other criteria.

Prospective homebuyers and sellers should expect the average rate on a 30year home loan to remain close to 8% this month, before coming down slightly by the end of the year, said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS. “No one should expect a dramatic drop in rates next year,” she said. “It is a new era where the average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage will remain around 7% through early next year before declining to 6% by the end of 2024.”

Among the factors likely to keep upward pressure on mortgage rates is an expected increase in governmentissued long-term bonds, such as 10-year had nine of the top 10 states with the highest shares of mortgages that were seriously underwater in the third quarter of this year. The top five were Louisiana (10.8 percent seriously underwater), Mississippi (7.4 percent), Wyoming (5.9 percent), Kentucky (5.7 percent) and Iowa (5.2 percent).

The smallest shares were in Vermont (0.9 percent seriously underwater), New Hampshire (0.9 percent), Rhode Island (1 percent), Massachusetts (1 percent) and Florida (1.3 percent).

Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 500,000, those with the largest shares of mortgages that were seriously underwater in the third quarter of 2023 were Baton Rouge, LA (11.8 percent); New Orleans, LA (7.6 percent); Syracuse, NY (6 percent); Jackson, MS (5 percent) and Little Rock, AR (4.5 percent).

While most seriously underwater rates around the country changed by less than one percentage point from the second quarter to the third quarter of this year, the portion decreased in 82, or 77 percent, of the metro areas in the U.S. with enough data to analyze. Seriously

U.S. Treasurys. While the Treasury Department said this week it would slow the pace of bond issuance, it’s still expected to climb. The more bonds are issued, the higher their yield has to be in order to entice investors into buying up the extra supply. And higher yields on 10-year Treasurys tend to push up mortgage rates.

As rates have marched higher, home loan applications have slumped to their lowest level since 1995 in recent weeks, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

“Mortgage applications declined for the third consecutive week as low inventory and high rates continue to

stifle borrower demand,” said MBA CEO Bob Broeksmit.

To cope, more prospective homebuyers are turning to adjustablerate mortgages, or ARMs. Applications for ARMs jumped nearly 10% last week alone, the MBA said.

Meanwhile, applications for mortgage refinancing loans sank last week to the lowest level since January.

Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, popular with homeowners refinancing their home loan, held steady this week. The average rate was unchanged from last week at 7.03%. A year ago, it averaged 6.29%, Freddie Mac said.

underwater rates were down, year over year, in 63 percent of the metro areas analyzed.

foreclosure in the third quarter of 2023, or about one in every 242 mortgaged residential properties in the U.S. Of those facing foreclosure, about 238,200, or 92 percent, had at least some equity built up in their homes.

“Elevated equity levels continue to benefit even those homeowners facing possible foreclosure. They’re providing resources for most delinquent owners to help them refinance their mortgages or sell instead of just walking away and abandoning their properties,” Barber said. “That remains a powerful force working against blight, which can lead to vacant homes.”

States where the largest portion of homeowners facing possible foreclosure had equity in their properties in the third quarter of 2023 included Utah (97 percent with equity), Massachusetts (95 percent), North Carolina (95 percent), Nevada (95 percent) and Maine (95 percent).

States with the lowest percentages included Louisiana (76 percent with equity), Maryland (86 percent), Illinois (86 percent), Missouri (87 percent) and Alabama (88 percent).

Staff report

More than 20 percent of residential mortgages seriously underwater in just 30 zip codes

Among 9,067 U.S. zip codes that had at least 2,000 homes with mortgages in the third quarter of 2023, there were only 30 locations where more than 20 percent of mortgaged properties were seriously underwater. Of those, 10 were in Cleveland, OH, or Philadelphia, PA. The top five zip codes with the largest shares of seriously underwater properties in the third quarter of 2023 were 82716 in Gillette, WY (50.8 percent of mortgaged homes were seriously underwater); 78041 in Laredo, RX (46 percent); 78045 in Laredo, TX (44.3 percent); 39601 in Brookhaven, MS (43.1 percent) and 82718 in Gillette, WY (40.5 percent).
