Overall, what’s going on:
August was a more active month than June or July, it was about as active as the Spring market.  Seems like Aug 2019 was more similar to the 10 yr Aug avg and slower than the 5 yr avg. As I’m sending this update we are well into September, and I can tell you that the market is heating up!  Could be a flash heat, could be the real deal.  Time will tell, you’ll have to wait for the next market update to find out!
