While many people felt a bit more positive about their current situation in mid-Q3, worries about future income, jobs, and the business climate weighed heavily, with the expectations index dropping about 6 points to 68. This is a level experts often connect with recession concerns. Early in the quarter, we saw 23,000 job cuts and unemployment nudging up to around 4%, mostly because fewer people were looking for work\u2014not because more jobs were available.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these uncertainties, homebuying expectations only softened slightly and then continued to climb. About 61% of folks still think interest rates will rise further. With federal policymakers keeping rates steady and markets signaling little relief in the near future, borrowing costs are likely to remain elevated through the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>As an Austin-area REALTOR\u00ae, I always believe in understanding the story behind the numbers. If you\u2019re considering your next move\u2014whether buying, selling, or investing\u2014my goal is to help you weigh these trends in the context of your personal plans and local market realities.
