“After a presidential election there’s uncertainty. And when the market has uncertainty, you are going to have charges going up. Persons are going to be a bit bit extra reserved with their subsequent acquisitions as nicely. However no matter whoever wins the president election, you are going to have uncertainty.

Nonetheless, I am searching for one thing totally different to occur for homebuyers as a result of earnings isn’t going up as a lot as the house costs are.

I’m searching for some type of change, one way or the other, with whoever will get voted on this time.”
