Housing mobility depends on more than affordability.

When renters can't find better options, opportunities become harder to pursue. Expanding housing supply remains a key piece of the solution. https://t.co/wbg1lWhKvO

@adamstatonsmith That’s cool

[George Hale @georgeahale]

Homeownership doesn't follow one path.

Conventional, FHA, VA and other loan programs can open opportunities many buyers don't realize exist.

What's one piece of advice you wish every first-time homebuyer knew before getting started?

[George Hale @georgeahale]

Housing affordability has no single solution. Expanding housing supply, streamlining development, and reducing barriers to construction all play a role in creating long-term progress. https://t.co/kGMWrV9s1j

@adamstatonsmith Yeah, thought it had to be your wife. Adidas seems to have a great vibe and they’re killing it with their product.

Culture shapes the decisions people make when leaders are not in the room.

Teams perform better when those standards are reinforced every day. https://t.co/4mvTrNBx8X./sites/rhettpower/2026/06/28/culture-is-strategy-how-leaders-build-alignment-that-drives-performance/

Mortgage spreads have quietly become one of the biggest contributors to housing activity this year.

Better spreads are helping keep borrowing costs below where they otherwise would be, supporting buyer demand even with elevated mortgage rates.

[George Hale @georgeahale]

More housing construction is essential, but affordability depends on more than supply alone.

Financing, permitting, infrastructure, and development costs all influence whether new housing reaches the people who need it.

The metro areas adding the most housing are also creating more opportunities for long-term growth.

Expanding housing supply remains one of the strongest foundations for affordability and economic development.

@nickgraynews Looks like heaven

[George Hale @georgeahale]

Your values become visible when decisions get difficult. Teams build trust in leaders whose actions consistently reflect what they stand for, especially when the pressure is on.

@lady_valor_07 Open air fish sauce vat. Nothing worse

[George Hale @georgeahale]

@jimmydean197 Yeah, affordability it tough right now, and every tick up in rates exposes this further.

[George Hale @georgeahale]

A brief drop in mortgage rates brought buyers back, but the window closed quickly as rates climbed again.

Long-term housing progress will come from improving affordability and increasing supply, not from waiting on short-lived rate relief. https://t.co/QyABVRCLdw

New home sales declined again in May as affordability pressures and higher mortgage rates continued to weigh on demand.

Builders are still working to balance inventory with buyer activity while keeping projects moving.

Happy Fourth of July!

Grateful for the freedoms that allow us to build stronger communities and create opportunities for future generations.

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable Independence Day.

HUD is putting real attention behind robotics, AI, and automated permitting.

If technology can help reduce delays and improve efficiency, it can play a major role in addressing the housing supply challenge. https://t.co/lMjHzT78ze./articles/hud-robotics-built-housing-permitting/

The people getting hired are making it easier for others to understand their experience, skills, and impact. Visibility and relationships are becoming just as important as the résumé itself. https://t.co/U69eci075N

[George Hale @georgeahale]

There is growing agreement that the U.S. housing shortage sits at the center of the affordability challenge.

The conversation now is less about whether supply needs to increase and more about which solutions can help deliver it. https://t.co/fcr77zOL7e
