We’re Entering The Biggest Macro Week of the Year

Rates sit at 6.10% today and inventory is at 3,455.
We’re heading into one of the biggest macro weeks of the year — JOLTS, a Fed rate decision, Powell’s presser, jobless claims, OPEC, and the 30-year bond auction. Weeks like this tend to shake national confidence because every headline feels like a plot twist.

And the backdrop is getting heavier:
1.2 million Americans have been laid off in 2025 — the equivalent of the entire city of Dallas, Texas losing its job base in less than a year.
Consumer confidence is at a 3.5-year low.
Holiday spending plans are softening.
Headline PCE inflation just rose to 2.8%, the highest since 2023.
And despite all of this, the Fed is still cutting rates.

It’s a strange economy — tightening in one direction, loosening in another.

Yet Louisville, as usual, refuses to behave like the national narrative.

Housing prices nationally have only fallen seven times in the last 76 years, and only twice during recessions. Louisville takes that historical resilience and turns it into a steady, reliable rhythm. We don’t see the violent appreciation spikes or the sudden collapses. We just grind — slow, patient, upward.

Our job base is grounded: logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, bourbon, UPS, Ford.
Our affordability keeps people here.
Our stability keeps investors here.

While national noise gets louder, Louisville keeps doing what Louisville does: absorbing it, then moving forward.
