U.S. inflation rose to 3.3% year-over-year in March 2026 (up from 2.7% in December 2025), and the Federal Reserve lowered the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.5%–3.75% at its December 2025 meeting. After three consecutive cuts in Q4 2025, the Fed held rates steady at its January and March 2026 meetings, signaling a cautious approach as inflation and housing activity moderate. Management notes that these monetary policy dynamics, together with geopolitical uncertainty, have influenced housing activity and the company’s operating environment. The filing ties these macro moves to moderation in housing activity during the period referenced (Q4 2025–Q1 2026).
