Real Estate This Week: Existing Sales, CPI, Beige Book Dates

What Housing and Economic Data Are Due This Week?

Quick answer: The big releases are existing-home sales (Tue Oct 13, 10 a.m. ET), CPI inflation and the Fed Beige Book (Wed Oct 14), and retail sales, PPI and Freddie Mac's weekly rate (Thu Oct 15). Monday is Columbus Day, so bond markets are quiet.

The schedule (Eastern Time)

  • Tue Oct 13: NFIB small business index (6 a.m.); NAR existing-home sales for September (10 a.m.)

  • Wed Oct 14: CPI for September (8:30 a.m.); Fed Beige Book (2 p.m.)

  • Thu Oct 15: retail sales and PPI (8:30 a.m.); Freddie Mac mortgage rate (noon)

  • Fri Oct 16: industrial production (9:15 a.m.)

 

What to look for

  • Existing sales: August was 3.98 million, a 2% fall. Higher rates since then point to weakness

  • CPI: a hot reading raises the odds of more Fed hikes and higher mortgage rates

  • Freddie Mac: the last reading was 7.40%

Why does it matter?

These releases shape expectations for rates ahead of the Fed meeting on October 27 and 28.
