15% decline in cooper & lumber, key components of housing
June housing starts dropped 9.9% in June
Housing permits dropped 7.5%
25% of the housing buyers are investors/institutions
Job creation is flat
Mortgage interest rates have risen about 1% (It has been written that for each 1% increase in mortgage rates 1 million less buyers qualify to buy a house.)
