'The world appears to be entering a higher-rate era' (CNBC

“The most vulnerable sovereigns are those combining large fiscal deficits, elevated debt burdens and reliance on external capital.' (Masahiko Loo, State Street Investment Management)

We've been warning our Substack readers about this for a long time.

One of our favorite catchphrases when discussing rising interest rates and a crisis of confidence among U.S. creditors is 'debt, deficits, and dysfunction in government'. Here's a perfect example...

$100 Trillion!

For property owners, whether residential or commercial, this may be the key takeaway of the article...

'For homeowners or commercial property owners who intend to pass their property to the next generation, and for heirs who expect to receive it, planning today may be the difference between preserving family wealth and watching it disappear'.

In New York, and around the country, preparation and strategy by the eventual decedent is key!

Reciprocal Tariffs...U.S.-Canada, And The Cost Of A Quid Pro Quo!

U.S.-Canada trade talks collapsed over the weekend, and the U.S. imposed new tariffs against our neighbor to the North.

Canada, without hesitation, imposed equal tariffs on the U.S.

Moves like these will have far-reaching consequences for inflation, consumer spending, interest rates, mortgage rates, real estate, and of course the overall economy.

Our article at the link in the comments below examines each of these potential outcomes.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon!

Used in a sentence: 'It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know that unless our government debt load is slashed, the U.S. is on a slippery economic slope'.

Perhaps Congress needs more brain surgeons, members who understand basic economics, or men and women who have the guts to risk their reelection for the long-term stability of the country.

I’ve Watched Interest Rates and Mortgage Rates From A Lot Of Different Seats

Early in my career, I was a bond analyst.

Then a bond trader.

A lot of time on Wall Street watching the yield curve, Treasury markets, credit spreads, and the message of the markets.

Today, as the CEO of a title insurance company deeply involved with New York residential and commercial real estate, I still watch rates very closely.

One thing I've learned:

The Fed gets an enormous amount of attention. The bond market deserves at least as much.

The Fed controls the short end of the yield curve.

But the critical 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds are driven by the collective judgment of investors around the world about inflation, fiscal policy, economic growth, risk, and the creditworthiness of the United States.

And that matters enormously to real estate.

A homebuyer doesn't care about the 10-year Treasury because it's an interesting financial statistic.

They care because it influences their mortgage rate.

A commercial property owner with a mortgage, or buyer, doesn't care about Treasury yields because they're a bond trader.

Read the full story about interest rates, and mortgage rates by extension, in the article 'The Point Of No Return For Interest Rates...What It Means For Property Buyers' using the link below.

Buying Real Estate? Who's Your Left Tackle?

In football, regardless of the level, the left tackle is a critical position!

Why? They protect the quarterback's blindside, preventing what could be a catastrophic collision that takes the quarterback out of the game.

In the most extreme cases, a blindside tackle could be career-ending.

The article, 'Nobody Buys Their Jersey...But Quarterbacks Know They Can't Win Without Them', presents an analogy of the job the left tackle does in the football trenches, often anonymously, and the job that the title insurance company does in a commercial or residential real estate transaction.

In your career, who's your left tackle? Or is it you?

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, or SPR, has a 714 million-barrel capacity!

Today? A 40-year low at 305 million, as it’s used for purposes it wasn’t created for!
