As @vrbo’s policy changes shake up the travel and short-term rental industries, our co-founder and CEO, Rena Pacheco-Theard @renapt, shared her insights in Dennis Schaal’s @denschaal @skift article published yesterday: "Rather than travelers being responsible for purchasing trip insurance to protect against natural disasters and abnormal weather events or declared health emergencies, hosts now foot the bill with no compensation."

This is welcome news for many buyers. How will lower rates impact #housing supply and prices?

[Boutiq 🪶 @Boutiq]

“After reaching a post-pandemic high of 7.8% last fall, the average 30-year mortgage rate is now expected to end the year below 6%, according to analysts at Fannie Mae.” – Rob Wile // @NBCNews
According to the January 2024 commentary from the Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTCQB) Economic and Strategic Research (ESR) Group, mortgage rates are expected to decline in 2024, ending the year below 6 percent. The lower rate environment is expected to boost refinance volumes, which are already on the upswing, as evidenced by the recent uptick in Fannie Mae’s Refinance Application-Level Index, to nearly double their 2023 levels in 2024. Lower rates are also likely to help “thaw” the existing home sales market currently affected by the so-called “lock-in effect.”
