Pete Heim and I discuss the slow decline of enclosed malls against the rise of mixed-use districts, then dig into local housing data, the real impact of the Federal Government Shutdown on loans, and why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury instead of the Fed. We end with the $350M Broadcasting District and what it means for housing, retail, and quality of life.

• Local/National Mall trends shift to open-air retail and pad sites
• Local listings up, sales slightly down, prices still higher
• Days on market nearly flat despite more inventory
• Shutdown delays for FHA, VA, USDA; flood insurance pause
• Historical rebound after shutdowns
• Fragmented markets across regions and school districts
• Mortgage rates tied to the 10-year Treasury
• Broadcasting District: 775 homes, Whole Foods, hotel, walkability
• Community trade-offs: growth, noise, taxes, amenities

How's your Mall doing? Is it gone? Tell us on our Socials, we'd love to know and talk about it on our next show!
