"Honestly, it’s the flavor of the month concern is what we’ve been seeing and feeling. There’s nothing to specifically measure it, but one month it might be concern about tariffs and the effect that’s going to have on inflation for consumers. One month, it may be about interest rates. Another month, it may be about world war possibilities." - Ara Hovnanian
