## Resource

Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down pending home sales, housing starts, builder confidence, foreclosure headlines, California listings, mortgage buydowns, and buyer affordability. They explain why multifamily construction does not solve the single-family housing shortage, why foreclosure numbers need context, and how temporary buydowns may help some buyers manage early payments. A straight real estate and mortgage market update with the usual Real Estate Jerky bite.
