That age group, which takes in both the MillennialGeneration, born between 1981 and 1996, andGeneration Z, born between 1997 and the year 2010,had actually seen a decline in homeownership fromlast year when 38.5% of them owned a home.Homeownership rates in three of five age categories,as reviewed by the NAHB study, registered declines.However, the category under age 35 was particularlynoteworthy, according to the group’s principaleconomist, Na Zhao, who said this age group is“particularly sensitive to mortgage rates, homeprices, and the inventory of entry-level homes.”Continues >HOMEOWNERSHIP RATESFOR YOUNGEST GENERATIONSEE 2024 DECLINE, SAYSNEW REPORTBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment08/07/2024Copyright: Cavna pro

99Short of offering any specifics, Powell added: "That time isdrawing near. That time could be in September if the datasupports that."How close is the country to seeing a rate drop? "It's just aquestion of seeing more good data," was as far as Powellcared to go.The prospect of a September cut is tantalizing the businessworld, promising lower borrowing costs for credit cards,mortgages, and auto loans.Powell's comments, along with the official Fed statement,declared the Financial Times, marks the "clearest sign yet thatthe central bank is readying a policy pivot more than twoyears after ramping up its fight against inflation in earnest."But that September cut, remarks the Wall Street Journal,would inevitably be weighed for its political significancecoming at the beginning of the fall presidential campaign:"The Fed is likely to upset Republicans or Democrats nomatter what it does."The publication added that even though the Fed hasscrupulously tried to steer clear of partisan politics, aSeptember rate cut will put it "on a crash course with thepresidential election.""The Fed's ability to maintain an appearance of independenceahead of the 2024 presidential election will require more duecare than usual," agrees the publication Forbes.A recent study produced by the Mitsubishi UFG FinancialGroup reveals that the Fed cut interest rates two monthsbefore the presidential elections of 1976, 1984, 1992, and2008.Only in 1984 did a cut appear to help the incumbent party,which in that year saw President Reagan successfully runningfor re-election.Rate hikes two months before an election occurred in 1980,just before President Carter was defeated for a second term,and in 2004, when the second George Bush was narrowly re-elected.BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva pro
