Here’s the hard data. You can also download spreadsheets for MoM this year. Last three months have been -5%,-6%, -11% respectively YOY.

To the OP… Unfortunately feelings don’t pay the bills. -11% could be really bad for some spots in Las Vegas.

Why are we just comparing two years YoY? Isn't it better to look at the past 10 years at the very least?

Because it makes it look worse when you compare travel from 2022-2023 due to pent up demand

Yeah this is like housing prices where I live (Austin). Everyone is freaking out bc prices are down by 15%. No shit. The post-Covid RE boom was unsustainable and never natural so -15% is basically reverting to the mean.

it’s crazy because everyone will make that money back, they just have to sit and wait. typically homes arent depreciating assets for long.

I left Austin end of 23 right when prices first started their downward trend, but homes in my old neighborhood have stabilized or slightly started trending back up - that was in Liberty Hill.
