Compass CEO and Founder Robert Reffkin recently joined CNBC's Squawk on the Street to discuss the housing market. In an environment with elevated mortgage rates, all-cash deals are king. In Q1, 46.8% of luxury homes nationwide and 63% of all homes in Manhattan were purchased without financing. #Compass #ThisIsCompass
Bigger concern is how many of these homes are purchased by an owner occupant and how many are purchased and put into rental portfolios. If you want to know one of the reasons we have a housing shortage, especially in entry level homes, take a look at the hundreds of thousands of single family homes that are in Wall Street. Portfolio’s. Easily 50 billion in single family homes that entry buyers can never buy.
Of course interest rate is a problem only if you need a mortgage
I wish the stock price reflected all of this great news.
Excellent
Consistent with what we’re experiencing in Northern VA as well.
Amazing 🙌
