Major real estate and tech companies, including Lonestar, are pioneering moon-based data center projects—leveraging lunar real estate, solar power, and unique infrastructure needs to meet cutting-edge data storage demands.
Loan Officer Insight:
While lunar projects are futuristic, they highlight tech-driven infrastructure growth. Consider how emerging data demands may influence long-term commercial real estate lending and partnerships.
Realtor Insight:
This trend underscores tech-related investment opportunities. Showcase your awareness to clients in commercial or development sectors—especially those with an eye on long-term, high-impact projects.
Housing Inventory Actually Fell Last Week

Active listing inventory declined from approximately 853,000 to 847,000 over the July 4 holiday week—a likely holiday anomaly. However, inventory remains well above last year’s levels, with purchase applications up 25% YoY.
Loan Officer Insight:
Faster-moving markets often follow inventory dips. Leverage rising purchase demand to preemptively engage clients and reinforce financing readiness.
Realtor Insight:
Holiday-week slowdowns are normal. Reinforce your narrative that higher annual inventory and strong application growth mean opportunity for well-prepared buyers and sellers.
Treasury Yields Pull Back Ahead of Inflation Data
Read the full story → CNBC
Yields on the 10-year Treasury slipped after June inflation data tempered expectations around rate risk, now forecasting 10-year yields around 4.3–4.4% year-end and 2-year at 3.6–3.9%.
Loan Officer Insight:
Lower yields suggest modest mortgage rate relief. Use this to frame timely rate-lock conversations and structured client messaging.
Realtor Insight:
Position buyers to take advantage of potentially improved rates. Brief sellers on how yield softness could benefit pricing and buyer pool dynamics.
