Malls, Markets, And Memories

Pete Heim and I discuss the slow decline of enclosed malls against the rise of mixed-use districts, then dig into local housing data, the real impact of the Federal Government Shutdown on loans, and why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury instead of the Fed. We end with the $350M Broadcasting District and what it means for housing, retail, and quality of life.• Local/National Mall trends shift to open-air retail and pad sites• Local listings up, sales slightly down, prices still higher• Days on market nearly flat despite more inventory• Shutdown delays for FHA, VA, USDA; flood insurance pause• Historical rebound after shutdowns• Fragmented markets across regions and school districts• Mortgage rates tied to the 10-year Treasury• Broadcasting District: 775 homes, Whole Foods, hotel, walkability• Community trade-offs: growth, noise, taxes, amenitiesHow's your Mall doing?
