Why does this matter? Well, because we are in a "GREAT" economy and this shows signs that there are issues that everyone seems to be ignoring. The economy worldwide is softening. Central banks worldwide are also dropping interest rates and many economies are beginning to show serious signs of slowing down. Give Germany a call and ask how their recession is coming along.
So maybe it has not affected housing locally. And maybe it will not. But there is one thing everyone needs to know and that is the World is VERY connected and small things half a world away can ripple world economies quickly.

Sellers have continued to enjoy a selling season and buyers got to compete again this Summer. I will keep you updated on World Events and financial information as I wade through it.
