 A new survey conducted by BadCredit.org, a leading financial resource helping those with subprime credit make informed decisions to brighten their financial futures, found that 27% of respondents do not review their credit report at least once a year. The study captured insights from 500 adults in the United States and sheds light on their understanding of financial concepts, credit management practices, and how they are navigating the current economy.

Survey Results Highlights:
The survey found common areas where respondents had little to no knowledge about foundational elements essential to a healthy credit score, in addition to how they are navigating the current economy riddled with high interest rates and inflation. Key findings include:

• Low Credit Utilization: Nearly 26% of respondents do not know the benefits of maintaining a low credit utilization ratio on their credit cards. The findings illustrate an opportunity for individuals to seek additional education on the benefits and pitfalls of credit card usage.
  
  
• Tackling the Cost of Living: As the cost of living continues to increase, 75% of respondents revealed they have reduced their spending, and nearly 41% admitted to withdrawing from savings to keep up. This response further emphasizes the financial sacrifices and pitfalls consumers are making to stay afloat in today’s economy.
  
  
• Financial Pivoting: Nearly 72% of respondents revealed that the current state of the economy has made them pivot their financial plans or goals. The finding shows that a significant number of Americans have reassessed or veered off the path of their financial journey during turbulent times.

“The findings of this survey should serve as an opportunity; rather, than a sign of discouragement,” said Bobbi Rebell, CFP® and personal finance expert at BadCredit.org. “The bottom line is we can learn something new about money each day, and it’s encouraging to see how much opportunity exists to help others make better-informed decisions and determine the right next steps so they can get back on track with their financial goals – especially in today’s economy.”

The latest study uncovers the need for financial education on a range of topics, above all the basics of credit management practices and staying informed on credit scores. BadCredit.org provides those with subprime credit expert insight from their panel of financial experts and resources so they can inform themselves and make the best credit decisions for their financial future.

The study captured insights from 500 adults in the United States and sheds light on their understanding of financial concepts, credit management practices, and how they are navigating the current economy.

“This latest survey reveals a concerning number of Americans are not practicing financial wellness or keeping up with basic financial habits such as credit management,” said Erica Sandberg, a consumer finance expert with BadCredit.org. “Financial education often takes a backseat in our society, which leads to learning about the fundamentals, and how to handle tough situations once we’re already in trouble. In fact, not checking your credit score may seem minor but it can lead to bigger problems, including missed opportunities to improve your financial situation or a chance to address issues as they arise, like fraud.”

Hurricane Helene moved out of Georgia Friday morning, leaving in its wake 11 dead, toppled trees that caused widespread power outages and massive flooding.

The storm took a different path than had been anticipated, Gov. Brian Kemp told reporters during a late-morning briefing at the State Operations Center in Southeast Atlanta. Rather than heading straight north out of the Valdosta area, Helene veered northeast to Augusta, leaving West Georgia with less damage than had been expected.

“We caught a little bit of a break for some parts of the state,” Kemp said.

But the corridor from Valdosta to Augusta suffered extensive damage, with hurricane-force winds of up to 100 miles an hour reported in Alma, Kemp said.

First responders are working to rescue people trapped inside their homes, Kemp said. One of those killed was a first responder, the governor said.

“One of our finest has lost his life trying to save others,” he said.

Flooding is so extensive in Northeast Georgia that authorities ordered a release of water at Lake Rabun. Homes downstream from the reservoir are being evacuated, said Chris Stallings, director of the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency.

Some of the worst property damage occurred in the Valdosta area, with 115 structures heavily damaged. Kemp said the South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta is without power because its emergency generator was hit by a fallen tree.

“Our priority is getting to medical facilities that need help and don’t have power,” Kemp said.

The state Department of Transportation reported at least 152 road closures, including stretches of Interstate 16 in Laurens County and I-20 in McDuffie County.

The ports of Savannah and Brunswick are operating but with limited service, Kemp said.

Georgia Power and the state’s Electric Membership Corporations (EMCs) reported more than 1.1 million without power as of late Friday morning.

Seventeen shelters were open across the state housing 1,100 people, the governor said.

Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tyler Harper said farms and ranches east of Interstate 75 suffered significant damage, including flattened poultry houses and damage to row and nut crops. He said farmers and ranchers must document their losses in order to receive state and federal assistance.

“We need as much information as possible to make sure we get the needed resources,” Harper said.

Maj. Gen. Richard Wilson, commander of the Georgia National Guard, said about 500 soldiers and airmen have been deployed across the state to help clear debris and transport critical supplies including generators, food, and water to areas in need.

Kemp said the damage is so extensive it will take time to assess the extent. But he said the widespread nature of the damage recalled Hurricane Michael, which roared through South Georgia in 2018.

“This is going to be monetary-wise as big or bigger than Michael,” he said.

Kemp urged Georgians not to take unnecessary trips and, if they do go out, to watch out for fallen trees and flooded roads.

“Try to give us a little bit of space out there,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Georgia Power’s restoration efforts following Hurricane Helene continued Sunday, with the company having restored service to approximately 690,000 customers since the start of the storm. This rapid response has been possible through the implementation of new “smart grid” technologies and the quick work of pre-positioned teams who were ready to respond as soon as conditions were safe to do so on Crews continue to navigate treacherous conditions including extensive tree and flooding damage, as well as road closures. As of midday Sunday, efforts are fully underway to restore power to approximately 425,000 customers who remain without power due to the storm. Additionally, there is the potential for further damage and power outages that could occur due to the saturated ground and weakened trees.

Georgia Power has determined Hurricane Helene was the most destructive hurricane in its history damaging infrastructure across the state. Initial damage estimates illustrating the extensive destruction of Hurricane Helene include:

• 5,000+ power poles that must be repaired or replaced
• 9,000+ spans of wire equivalent to an estimated 425 miles
• 500+ transformers
• 1,500+ trees on power lines that must be removed or addressed to restore power

Georgia Power appreciates the importance of accurate information for customers as they make plans for their families following this historic storm. As the company anticipated and announced before the arrival of the storm, restoration efforts will take multiple days into this next week. Georgia Power continues to post updated estimated restoration times (ERTs) for communities on its Outage Map. As of Sunday, restoration efforts have been largely completed in areas such as Metro Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, Rome and Albany, while work continues in the hardest hit areas across the state.

The company will continue to post updated information throughout the remainder of the restoration process and will make every effort to return power to customers sooner than expected. Customers are encouraged to check the Outage Map often for the latest information and not rely on possibly inaccurate details they may see from non-company sources.

The company continues to utilize additional resources from outside of its system and currently has more than 15,000 personnel engaged in response, including support from Alabama Power, Mississippi Power and dozens of other companies. The response force currently engaged is larger than the company’s response to other major hurricanes including Michael, Irma and Zeta.

Preparation, Industry Support Key to Response 
Georgia Power monitored the path of Hurricane Helene for more than a week prior to the storm entering Georgia. As part of its preparations, Georgia Power mobilized additional staff from across the industry to respond to Hurricane Helene. Mobilized crews across the state pre-positioned restoration workers, equipment, and supplies near areas of anticipated impact including extra transformers, poles, cable and other equipment. All this is part of advance planning and strategy to allow the company to restore power more quickly and efficiently for its customers as soon as weather conditions allow.

Georgia Power is also a member of a nationwide mutual assistance network, which consists of hundreds of utilities from around the country. Georgia Power has proactively mobilized crews from over 35 companies from states as far away as Texas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The company continues to acquire additional off-system resources to aid in response.

As always, the company encourages customers to keep safety first following Hurricane Helene:

• Watch for Georgia Power crews working across the state. If driving, move over one lane for utility vehicles stopped on the side of the road – it’s the law in Georgia.

• Watch for downed wires. Downed power lines may be hidden by debris or fallen trees.

• Never touch any downed wire or attempt to remove tree branches from power lines – it can kill.

• Don’t step in standing water or saturated ground where downed lines may be present. They could be electrified.

• Avoid chain link fences. They may be electrified by a downed line out of sight and conduct electricity over great distances.

• Never attempt repairs to electric service connections. Customers should also note that if their home, including the meter box or mast/connection point, is severely damaged by the storm repairs may need to be made by an electrician before Georgia Power can reconnect power.

S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) today released the July 2024 results for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices. The leading measure of U.S. home prices reached a new all-time high with a decelerating trend for July 2024. More than 27 years of history are available for the data series and can be accessed in full by going to https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/index-family/indicators/sp-corelogic-case-shiller/.

YEAR-OVER-YEAR

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, reported a 5.0% annual gain for July, down from a 5.5% annual gain in the previous month. The 10-City Composite saw an annual increase of 6.8%, down from a 7.4% annual increase in the previous month. The 20-City Composite posted a year-over-year increase of 5.9%, dropping from a 6.5% increase in the previous month. New York again reported the highest annual gain among the 20 cities with an 8.8% increase in July, followed by Las Vegas and Los Angeles with annual increases of 8.2% and 7.2%, respectively. Portland held the lowest rank for the smallest year-over-year growth, notching the same 0.8% annual increase in July as last month.

MONTH-OVER-MONTH

The U.S. National Index, the 20-City Composite, and the 10-City Composite upward trends continued to decelerate from last month, with pre-seasonality adjustment increases of 0.1% for the national index, and both the 20-City and 10-City Composites remained unchanged on the month.

After seasonal adjustment, the U.S. National Index posted a month-over-month increase of 0.2%, while both the 20-City and 10-City Composite reported a monthly rise of 0.3%.

ANALYSIS

“Accounting for seasonality of home purchases, we have witnessed 14 consecutive record highs in our National Index,” says Brian D. Luke, CFA, Head of Commodities, Real & Digital Assets. “While the S&P 500 has achieved thirty-nine record highs and the S&P GSCI Gold TR hit thirty-five record highs, housing is following a similar trajectory. The growth has come at a cost, with all but two markets decelerating last month, eight markets seeing monthly declines, and the slowest annual growth nationally in 2024. Overall, the indices continue to grow at a rate that exceeds long-run averages after accounting for inflation.”

Luke continued, “We continue to observe out-performance in most low-price tiers in the market on a 3 and 5-year horizon. The low-price tier of Tampa was the best performing market nationally with 5-year performance of 88%. The New York market was the best market annually, posting a gain of 8.9%. New York’s low-tier index, which include home values up to $533,000, helped drive that growth with 10.8% annual gains. Over 5-years, markets such as New York and Atlanta, saw low price tiered indices outperforming their market by as much as 20% and 18%, respectively. The relative outperformance of low-price tiered indices has both benefited first time homebuyers as well as made it more difficult to for those looking for a stater home. The opposite is happening in California which has the most expensive high-price tiers in the nation, all well over $1 million. The rich are getting richer in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco where their high price-tiered indices outperformed on a 1- and 3-year basis.

Regionally, the Northeast remains the best performing market, with New York the top performer for 3-months running, followed by the Midwest region. All markets in the Northeast and Midwest recorded an all-time high. The south reported the slowest gains regionally but includes five of the seven best performing markets since 2020,” according to Luke.

Table 1 below shows the housing boom/bust peaks and troughs for the three composites along with the current levels and percentage changes from the peaks and troughs.

Table 2 below summarizes the results for July 2024. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices could be revised for the prior 24 months, based on the receipt of additional source data.

Table 3 below shows a summary of the monthly changes using the seasonally adjusted (SA) and non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) data. Since its launch in early 2006, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices have published, and the markets have followed and reported on, the non-seasonally adjusted data set used in the headline indices. For analytical purposes, S&P Dow Jones Indices publishes a seasonally adjusted data set covered in the headline indices, as well as for the 17 of 20 markets with tiered price indices and the five condo markets that are tracked.

AT&T has initiated its storm preparedness plan as Tropical Storm Helene tracks toward Florida and Georgia. The AT&T Weather Operations Center has a team of degreed meteorologists delivering business-specific weather intelligence, analytics and forecasts. Their expertise aids in mitigating the risk of impact to the AT&T network and assets, and helps to keep our employees safe.

Our network preparations include:

• Topping off generators with fuel at our cell sites and switch facilities.

• Testing back-up batteries at cell sites.

• Protecting our physical facilities against flooding.

• Staging emergency response and network recovery equipment in strategic locations for quick deployment following the storm.

• Prepping dedicated FirstNet deployable network assets for use by public safety agencies on FirstNet, as requested.

We encourage our customers and residents in areas potentially affected by the storm to prepare as well. Below are communication tips to help you stay connected.

• Save battery life. To save your phone’s battery during a power outage, try power-save mode, turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, delete apps, or enable Airplane Mode.

• Keep mobile devices charged. Make sure to fully charge your mobile devices before a weather event and have an alternate way to charge your smartphone in case of power outages. A car charger or backup battery pack can be useful. If you have multiple devices, consider a multi-port backup battery pack to keep them charged.

• Keep your mobile devices dry. Mobile phones can be a critical lifeline during a storm. To protect yours, store it in a water-resistant case, floating waterproof case, or plastic bag.

• Protect vital documents. Back up important info and documents like insurance and medical papers to the cloud or computer for easy access from any device.

• Have a family communications plan. Review the plan with your family and choose someone out of the area as a central point of contact in case your family is separated.

• Update emergency contacts. It is important to store emergency contacts in your mobile phone, including numbers for the police, fire station, hospital, and family members. 

• Stay informed with your mobile device. If a storm causes a power outage, you can still access local weather reports using your mobile device.

• Take advantage of your smartphone’s features. Use your phone camera to photograph and record any damage before you file an insurance claim. Location-based technology (GPS) can help find evacuation routes or track a family member’s location. 

• Be prepared for high call volume and keep non-emergency calls to a minimum. During severe weather, many people may try to call at the same time, which may cause network congestion. If you get a “fast busy” signal on your phone, hang up, wait a few seconds, then try again. 

• Try texting vs. calling. Because it requires fewer network resources, text messages may go through faster than voice calls. 

AT&T Preparations

AT&T’s Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) program is one of the largest in the industry. Our NDR fleet consists of more than 750 pieces of specialized response equipment readied for quick deployment, including:

Blue River Development (BRD) is pleased to announce the successful sale of the Belleview property, an 85+ acre development located on SE 92^nd Loop just outside of Ocala, Florida. The property closed on September 7 and was sold to a local developer.

Blue River Development discovered Belleview 13 months ago and began the intricate process of rezoning, working closely with local authorities and surrounding homeowners’ associations to create a development that was a perfect fit for the area. “We couldn’t have made this happen without the support of the team at Blue River Development,” remarked Kevin Connelly, a strategic partner with Blue River Development, acknowledging the crucial support received during the rezoning and design phases. The team effort included Michael Meshkaty, a BRD strategic partner who also specializes in due diligence and Dawson Ransome, CFA, a local partner and investment manager who both worked closely with all parties to assure the success of this project. 

“The project was an enriching experience. Our ability to navigate complex rezoning issues and collaborate effectively with Marion County and the surrounding communities has resulted in a development that complements the area,” said Blue River Development Managing Principal Michael Cooper. “This sale is a testament to our team’s commitment and expertise in transforming a vision into reality.”

Belleview will feature 302 single-family lots, ranging from 40 to 50 feet, with homes varying between 1,500 and 1,800 square feet. Aimed at providing affordable housing options from the $290,000s, the community includes extensive amenities, including a walking trail, dog park, pickleball courts, clubhouse, pool and abundant green space. An extra-large buffer on the east side of the property has been established to provide harmony with the adjacent Leeward Ranches community.

Commenting on the growth in the region, Blue River Development Managing Principal Brad Cooper said, “The Ocala area is experiencing significant development, and projects like Belleview are pivotal in meeting the growing demand for attainable, high-quality housing. This sale reflects our ability to adapt and improve projects to benefit communities.”

Blue River Development continues to explore and work on several other deals in the Ocala market, reinforcing its dedication to developing properties that meet modern homebuyers’ needs while positively contributing to the local community. 

The Blue River Development team has over 23 years of experience developing and acquiring nearly $3 billion in residential, multifamily and retail projects. The firm’s achievements are driven by its ability to provide and catalog the most up-to-date market intel and execute on that data and its accountability to clients and investors.
