Into the Weekend - October 27th, 2023

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day! That childhood rhyme has run through my head on more than one occasion this week. And it looks like we might be in for a wet weekend! And it's Halloween weekend, too. Every year it seems like there are more and more offerings for Halloween. I've included just a few for inspiration in this week's note. Also included is another fantastic episode from the podcast and my usual market musings. Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope it's a great one! -Matt

Matt's Market Minute For homeowners, it was fun while it lasted... watching home prices go up 10%+ per year. Those days might be behind us for awhile as home price growth returns to normal.
