📈 Market Summary
Housing demand is stabilizing and mortgage rates are holding, but the deeper story is unfolding in the background. Tokenization platforms are expanding access, and compliance rails are catching up. With buyers regaining leverage and infrastructure maturing, the flywheel effect of real estate meets blockchain is now fully in motion.

🌐 Macro Trends

  • The Fed remains on pause, watching labor and wage inflation before adjusting policy.

  • Jobless claims came in higher than expected, giving the market fresh optimism for a Q4 rate cut.

  • Oil prices have stabilized after last week’s geopolitical shock, removing some energy-linked inflation fears.

Investor Takeaway:
The pause before policy easing is a moment to rebalance. More investors are looking to fractional and on-chain real estate as a hedge with cash flow.

🏠 U.S. Housing Pulse

  • Inventory levels continue to climb, especially in secondary markets like Nashville, Raleigh, and Boise.

  • Builders are pacing new construction cautiously while offering deeper incentives to move existing inventory.

  • Mid-tier homes with rental potential are moving the fastest, especially those eligible for STR or corporate lease models.

Quick Hit:
The “wait-and-see” market benefits the prepared buyer. Tokenized rentals may become more attractive as homeownership costs rise.

🧠 Influencer Insights

  • The Real Estate Robinsons highlighted the resurgence of destination STRs and hinted at tokenizing a vacation portfolio.

  • TokenizeThis released a new breakdown of Roofstock’s smart contract stack and why liquidity automation could be a game changer.

  • Kathy Fettke said this week: “Access and education are being democratized. What’s coming next is speed.”

Pulse Summary:
Influencers are turning their attention to platforms, not just property. The playbook is shifting from ownership to infrastructure.
