May 2026 Update: Education Planning & Gifting, Housing Stats, Market Update
We hope May is starting well for you. This month’s update covers:
-
Education Planning and Gifting from Candor Asset Advisors – We have compiled valuable information on education costs, gifting rules, and 529s versus other ways to fund education expenses.
-
A powerful force has been holding back the housing market. It’s finally easing from The Washington Post – The author highlights that the percentage of homeowners with mortgages less than 4% continues to fall. This trend means a greater number of homeowners may be willing to sell their homes, home inventory may grow, and housing pricing pressures may ease.
-
Market Update from Candor Asset Advisors – We provide valuable data on equities, fixed income, real estate, and the economy.
If you would like me to go through the education & gifting presentation with you or cover anything else, just let me know.
Sincerely,
Bill Hawes, CFA, CFP
