Summary
Discover why new home and mortgage demand dropped.
Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?
Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle.
If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.
Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!

| 0:41.1 | America's wealth mentor, empowering women and men worldwide to financial freedom. On today's show, |
| 0:46.0 | we're going to talk about new home and mortgage demand dropping. We've seen home builder sentiment |
| 0:51.9 | nearing the lowest level since the pandemic as uncertainty |
| 0:55.5 | plagues consumers. Buddy Hughes, NAHB chairman and a home builder from Lexington, North Carolina, |
| 1:01.9 | said, buyers are increasingly moving to the sidelines due to elevated mortgage rates and |
| 1:06.8 | tariff and economic uncertainty. To help address affordability concerns and bring hesitant buyers |
| 1:11.9 | off the fence, a growing number of builders are moving to cut prices. In a June survey, 37% of builders |
| 1:18.2 | said they had cut prices, the highest share since NAHB started tracking the monthly metric three years ago. |
| 1:24.5 | That's up from 34% who reported cutting prices in May and 29% in April. |
| 1:29.9 | The average price reduction was 5%, which has been steady since last year. Robert Dietz, |
| 1:35.3 | chief economist at the NIHB, said, rising inventory levels and prospective homebuyers, who are on |
| 1:41.1 | hold waiting for affordability conditions to improve are resulting in |
| 1:44.9 | weakening price growth in most markets and generating price declines for resales in a growing |
| 1:49.8 | number of markets. Given current market conditions, NHB is forecasting a decline in single-family starts |
