From Redfin:
Starter-Home Sales Rose 4% in June, a Bright Spot in a Sluggish Housing Market
Sales of starter homes rose 3.9% year over year in June to the highest level in two years, a bright spot in an otherwise sluggish housing market where sales fell across other price tiers.
This is according to a Redfin analysis where we divide U.S. homes into tiers based on the prices of homes sold over a rolling 12-month period. This report is focused on homes whose sale price fell into the 5th-35th percentile, which we define as starter homes. Our price-tier data is calculated in rolling three-month periods, with this report focusing on April-June. Data is subject to revision.
June was the 10th consecutive month in which home sales rose year over year, indicating that first-time homebuyers are jumping into the market.
In comparison, sales of mid-priced homes (35th-65th percentile of the market by sale price) fell 0.9% year over year in July, while high-price homes (65th-95th percentile) fell even more, down 3.6%.
Pending sales of starter homes are also rising, up 3.1% year over year in June, a sign that closed sales are likely to continue increasing in the coming months.
In comparison, pending sales of mid- and high-price homes fell 0.7% and 2.7% year over year in June, respectively.
“In a market where it’s difficult for most Americans to afford a dream home, many are turning toward starter homes,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “They’re typically smaller and more modest, but starter homes remain within reach for some buyers who have been priced out of higher tiers. First-time buyers are especially apt to go for starter homes, as they don’t have equity from a previous home sale to help with their payments.

BREAKING:
The U.S. economy grew at a much better than expected pace in the second quarter, powered by a turnaround in the trade balance and renewed consumer strength, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.
Gross domestic product, a sum of goods and services activity across the sprawling U.S. economy, jumped 3% for the April-through-June period, according to figures adjusted for seasonality and inflation.
Q2 GDP smashes expectations
DJT ends war between Thailand and Cambodia

I voted for that!!!
You voted for a National embarrassment.
Small Con,
The numbers are being cooked. From Bloomberg Surveillance this morning. 90% of economists don’t believe the integrity of the numbers coming out the present Commerce Dept. 1/3 of the numbers used are estimates vs surveys like before King BankruptcyPolluza.
A lot of staff left with DOGE cuts. The numbers coming out of Commerce Department have the same integrity as the numbers published in Pravda during Soviet times.
I was thinking the same thing, but who knows? Both sides probably cooked the books.
I also heard Trump lessened the impact of the tsunami.
The most recent 3% rise in GDP comes after a 1.2% drop in GDP the previous quarter.
This puts GDP growth year to date a little below the pre-Trump trend.
But this is still mostly noise, exagerated by the uncertainty surrounding Trumps tariffs.
So now Trump is cooking the books,of course the Dems would never do something like that. So, if something positive comes out that makes Trump look “good” at least temporarily, then the narrative becomes the numbers are cooked. And that is why the quality of this blog has gone down so much.
3B,
The MAGA peanut gallery said the same thing whenever good numbers came out for Biden.
I don’t remember you being so critical about it.
As for me, I don’t think anybody is or has been cooking the books re economic statistics.
But Trump has made some cuts to the agencies that compile that data, so we may start seeing noisier stats going forward.

Yeah, I’ve never trusted the numbers to begin with. I mean, I know they are always fudged to the downside, but changing the metric continually makes it no longer a metric in my opinion. If they just fudged them and left it alone for 10 years, it would give you a better idea of the actual direction of things. I can work with baseline adjustments, not changing of inputs.

That’s the plan.
The books are naturally cooked and it’s baked into the system. The way the cook inflation numbers automatically results in perpetual “real GDP” increases. Meanwhile, people all over championed perpetual “2% inflation” all while housing, healthcare, college tuition all doubled. It only got to a point where they couldn’t pretend anymore once goods/services all started playing catch up.
More modern nonsense has resulted in jobs reports that get revised 3 months later and things of that nature.
Regarding GDP – exactly the kind of rosy data we see in dictatorships which have hollowed out commerce departments.
Part of it is also due to less purchases due to tariffs, not productivity gain.
What I am seeing on the street is quite opposite to the picture painted by ai – i mean the commerce dept.
Dark: Well maybe they are. Maybe, we just should not give crap any more, that seems to be the best course of action. We will be rid of Trump in 2028, and just look at what the Dems have planned for us. Are you excited? I am not, and I don’t think you are either.

Greed and Hate are America’s two biggest exports. It can’t make shit anymore other than weapons and crappy software that collects your data, sells some of it, then leaves the rest of it without security to have it hacked, then later, offering you credit monitoring.
MAGA ain’t done nothing about any of that. Nor Feeble Biden, Slick Willy, Crooked Hillary, Ronnie Reagan, or Nancy Pelosi. In fact, I’d wager they all profited in some way and are enjoying their lives with all that cash.
Release the Epstein files. They won’t. There is dirt on all of them, once they start singing it would be a feeding frenzy.

‘You Are Vile’: NJ Judge Scolded Children, Threatened Parents With Deportation: Complaint
Disciplinary charges have been filed against a judge in Somerset County after he yelled at truant children who appeared in his courtroom, even making threats their parents could be deported.
She’s baaaack:
Kamala Harris will not run for California governor, opening door for 2028 run
Harris has not ruled out another run for the White House, according to confidantes, while exploring the formation of a new group.
Phoenix – So why did the school system make a criminal referral on those kids in the first place? Did they think the judge was going to kick them out of school so they did not have to deal with them those Judge and their negligent parents?
Judge was doing his job, trying to scare those kids straight…..incarceration is not the answer.

Juice,
Judges spend 10 minutes with you. They have no clue what even got you into a courtroom in the first place. They choose a winner and a loser and move on to the next case.
It ain’t Judge Judy.
Yelling at 16 year old kids is insane. My judge, who never met my kid, said “all kids brains are mush.” But has he ever spoken with her? Nope. I wish he would. I think she might be able to change his mind.
Believe what you want to believe, but the “tv” court thing isn’t what real court is.
Unless you watch real trials on YouTube.
You may think he was doing his job, maybe that is how you would do it, but others do not agree. It’s time for his peers to judge him:
By addressing children in the courtroom, who were not the defendants and without a municipal prosecutor present, Simon behaved in a grossly inappropriate manner, violating the Code of Judicial Conduct.
“Respondent’s remarks to the defendants and expressions of dissatisfaction with the appearance and attitude of the children who appeared before him, as well as Respondent’s repeated threats and abrasive demeanor towards the children, was discourteous, inappropriate, unprofessional, offensive,” the complaint reads. “The Code of Judicial Conduct…requires jurists to treat all those with whom they deal in an official capacity in a dignified, patient and courteous manner.”
https://dailyvoice.com/nj/parsippany-troy-hills/you-are-vile-nj-judge-scolded-children-threatened-parents-with-deportation-complaint/
Phoenix – On Jan. 28, Simon presided over the case of a 14-year-old girl who missed 67 of the previous 91 days of school.
“You miss another day for school and I’m going to personally have ICE here to pick you up,”
He could have sent her to foster care or even juvenile detention. This is only about politics, mentioning ICE and deportation for being here illegally. Trying to scare the kid straight, nah we cannot even try that.
Dark: After the last couple of posts, it might be time to throw in the towel. It’s just gotten insane in here.
Juice: Kamala and AOC what a choice,but either one will put this country right, I just know it. And in NYC we may have Mamdani , who has never really worked but has the answers to make NYC work.

How bad is it within the remains of the democrat party? Republican groups are advising the left on issues to concentrate on and those they need to toss. The democrat’s approval now stands at 33%. Trump bashing from dawn to dusk has dissolved the party and currently, they have no platform whatsoever.
“The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” Democrat pollster, John Anzalone said.. “Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems.”
According to the WSJ poll, Democrats now face a net favorability of -30 points, with barely one-third of voters expressing any positive sentiment toward the party. This marks the worst performance for Democrats in the newspaper’s polling history to date.

Juice, you are totally bought into the faux news language here.
“Secure borders” is nothing more than “I don’t want to see non-whites here”. You may as well say it like you mean it.
If you are really talking about security, like I said, border towns in Mexico are unsafe because of the guns we export. Not the other way around. But of course you are racist and don’t even want to hide it.
Now, if you are talking about immigration policies, republicans blocked the bipartisan bill that Biden admin put forward that would have brought more order to the border.
Juice Box needs to call himself Lou Dobbs.
Juice: Give it up my friend. It has gone completely mad in here today today. A complete hijacking of this board by the most ridiculous, insane, absolutely moronic comments.

Ex Lax: And yours too dear.
RentLord is insane. What was his prior handles?
Secure borders doesn’t equal racism. Is it racist for me to go through the Immigration line at the airport?
It’s not guns that make towns unsafe. That’s like blaming shitholes like Camden on the guns.
Biden had years to encourage border enforcement, instead he let his agency heads de-prioritize enforcement, sent Kamala to research some “root causes” with sociology majors, effectively waving people through and handing them goody bags, then after it was blowing up politically on him, he made a little show of wanting to do something, too little, too late.
I’m pro-immigration, and I don’t particularly like the way Trump handles it, but there must be some heavy derangement going on in far-left talking circles for RentLord to parrot this kind of talk.
Considering even Chinese and Arabs were crossing through Mexico, I’d say there was no discrimination closing the border. Equal opportunity denial of entry.

No One, if you are telling me the current immigration policies have nothing to do with racism, you are blind as a bat. If repugnants wanted to curb undocumented migrants, they could have approved the bipartisan bill under biden.
This is just raising up the base by orange man – and now you have the biggest military – larger than the next 4 militaries combined. ICE now has a budget of $75 Billions paid, and we are all paying for it.
No One: Biden only came up with his bi partisan immigration deal because as you note of all the pressure he was getting to do something to address the chaos at the border. Otherwise, he would have let it continue.

The books are not “cooked”. Don’t be a conspiracy nut.
Measureing what’s going on in an economy as large and complex as the US is very hard- that’s why the initial stats are often revised later.
Re inflation: it’s an average of a bunch of different goods (including housing, college tuition, and healthcare).
Not everybody buys all those goods in the same proportions as the standard “basket of goods” used to calculate inflation, so everybodys “personal inflation rate” is different.

That used to be the case; the BLS and other gov agencies used to be largely impartial and produced highly reliable stats. That all changed under SlowJoe, when virtually every single jobs report was later revised down. And who can forget the BLS finally admitting last year — under heavy pressure as analyst after analyst said they were manipulating the data — that they had overstated employment by almost one million jobs! Another once highly-trusted government agency trashed by the Dems.

President Donald Trump is being criticized for a plan that would have Americans share their personal health data with private tech companies.
In the East Room on Wednesday, Trump hosted a ‘Making Health Technology Great Again’ event that unveiled the proposal.
The Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services is securing commitments from top tech companies including Amazon, Apple, Google and OpenAI to start building a ‘digital health ecosystem.’
The goal would be that Americans could upload their health records to an app that could be easily shared across doctors’ offices.
‘For decades America’s healthcare networks have been overdue for a high tech upgrade – and that’s what we’re doing,’ the president told the crowd. ‘The existing systems are often slow, costly and incompatible with one another. But with today’s announcement, we take a major step to bring healthcare into the digital age.’
Trump said this public-private partnership would move the country away from ‘clipboards and fax machines into a new era of convenience, profitability and speed and, frankly, better health for people.’
That used to be the case; the BLS and other gov agencies used to be largely impartial and produced highly reliable stats. That all changed under SlowJoe,
This seems very serious.
Is the DOJ investigating?
How about the Republican controlled house? The Republican controlled senate?
Has any republican urged appointing a special counsel to investigate?
Weird that. It’s almost like it was just an unusually large revision that the R’s exploited for political purposes.
Dozens and dozens of economists produce that job data. Strange that none of them have come forward to talk about the pressure they were put under – in Trumps administration that would probably get them a promotion!

And before the crash, a FAA regional manager blocked a proposal to move the helicopter route away from the danger zone of intersecting flight routes where the crash happened, deeming the idea “too political.”
One of the most experienced aviators in the Army told NTSB investigators he was bewildered that the controller did not advise the Black Hawk crew to pause and allow the regional passenger jet to land.
Oh really. Bewildered. About this?
According to radio transcripts between the tower and aircraft, the Army helicopter crew confirmed that they could see the airliner and were flying under “visual separation” rules, meaning it was up to them to avoid the jet.

There is an argument that payrolls may be a bit overstated.
Maybe they are- it’s very difficult to measure anything in a large, complex, dynamic economy like the US.
But “our numbers might be a bit off because this stuff is hard to measure” is not the same as fudging the data.
