From our friend NYUGrad………..Must watch………..

Pay close attention to the ‘Cost Model’ conversation and Certificate of occupancy. I myself was about to buy a semi custom home in 2020 before the Covid lockdown. Then Covid hit and everyone left the cities. Homes I was originally looking to buy went from 1.3m all in to 2.5m all in over the course of 8 months!

New Builders are able to legally hide inventory and not list almost ready homes from MLS. So if you go visit track home sites across America like Melody has, like I have as a buyer, you will then see for yourself how much inventory is almost built but nowhere to be found on MLS or Zillow or Realtor.com or Redfin etc.

Tesla’s New Range

What’s AMAZING to me is that yesterday’s low matched TO……..THE………PENNY……..the topmost Fib line. In other words, it has absolutely flipped from resistance to support, and with stunning accuracy. I’d say we’re rangebound in the yellow zone now.
