Car dealers said shoppers were staying on the sidelines.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>In today’s newsletter, I’ll explain what drives this behavior, and why it’s not unique to this election cycle.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>The pivot point</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>There are a lot of reasons Americans are reluctant to buy homes right now. Inflation drove mortgage interest rates to a 20-year high, and a lack of housing stock kept prices from falling, exacerbating an affordability crisis. But even in years when the housing market was more amenable, buyers got nervous before they went to the polls.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Jonathan Miller, a real estate appraiser, looked back at two decades of home sales in Los Angeles, Manhattan and Miami and saw a pattern: Sales dipped in the second half of even years and bounced back in odd years. “Election Day is the pivot point,” he said. “It’s like the foot is taken off the brake after the election.”</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The dip isn’t dramatic, but it is consistent. In even years, sales fell by 5.5 percent in Los Angeles, 2.5 percent in Manhattan and 2.6 percent in Miami. In odd years, sales rose by 4.6 percent in Los Angeles, 8.5 percent in Manhattan and 10.2 percent in Miami. The pattern was not restricted to Democratic strongholds, either — it held in Suffolk County, N. Y., which typically votes for Republican candidates.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>In conversations with car dealers, I heard of a similar pre-election pullback. Jerry Reynolds, a former car dealer and host of the “CarPro” radio show, told me this anxiety sets in every four years, only to evaporate after the election. He expects dealers “will see a surge of sales right after the election.”</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Even armchair shoppers get cold feet. Big news moments often distract viewers of the television shopping networks QVC and HSN, according to David Rawlinson II, the chief executive of Qurate Retail Group, which owns the channels. “We rely on people watching our content,” he said, and when the news takes a dramatic turn, “they’re probably not watching QVC.”</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>What’s driving this?</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Consumers don’t like uncertainty, and elections are all about the unknown. This one appears to be particularly close, with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump locked in a virtual tie in the polls.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Cash is a resource — and for most of us, it’s the most fungible one we have. If we’re feeling as if we’re on unsolid ground, it’s no surprise that we would be reluctant to part with it. Kelly Goldsmith, a behavioral scientist and marketing professor at Vanderbilt University, studies the psychology of uncertainty and scarcity. She put it this way: “If the world starts to fall apart, you benefit from having a bunch of money in your mattress, right?”</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>There’s also the matter of the economy. Surveys have found that many Americans name it as their No. 1 concern this election, even though inflation has slowed and the job market is strong.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Some consumers are hoping that a Harris victory delivers down-payment assistance for first-time home buyers, one of her central campaign promises. Others hope that a second Trump administration improves the economy with tax cuts and spending cuts.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>Little luxuries persist</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Certainly Americans still shop when an election is coming. U.S. retail sales continued to grow last month. Consumer Edge, a company that tracks consumer data, looked at credit card and debit card transactions in the months leading up to the 2016, 2018 and 2022 elections and did not see any signs of an election season dip. (The company omitted 2020 because of the volatility caused by the pandemic.) But there was an exception to the trend: Bookings for cruises and purchases from luxury merchants slowed in the months before the 2016 election.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Dr. Goldsmith said she wouldn’t be surprised if people spent more on small luxuries as they look for ways to feel in control of their world, even if it’s only an illusion. “When I see myself holding this $8 Starbucks cup, I feel like I’m a person able to do things in the universe,” she said.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">For more:</span><span> Jordyn and I also spoke with reluctant consumers about their election angst. </span><a

Presley, the only child of Priscilla and Elvis Presley, died before she finished writing her life story. She’d prepared for the project and cogitated about it but, her daughter Riley Keough writes in the preface, “She wasn’t really sure what her value to the public was other than being Elvis’s daughter. She was so wracked with self-criticism that working on the book became incredibly difficult for her.” Keough picked up where Presley left off, using tapes her mother had made and chiming in with her own reflections — about Presley’s marriages, her struggle with addiction, her complicated relationship with her own mother and her unflagging devotion to Elvis, who died when she was 9. The result, now No. 2 on the best-seller list, is a family story with celebrity cameos, not the other way around. </span><a href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/8YOQ4jlWXpGoZd5CPbKv0Q~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRo92rmP4QFAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMTAvMDgvYm9va3MvcmV2aWV3L2Zyb20taGVyZS10by10aGUtZ3JlYXQtdW5rbm93bi1saXNhLW1hcmllLXByZXNsZXktcmlsZXkta2VvdWdoLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MTAyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzczMzgmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD0yMDg2NzIzMTYmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODA5MDcmdXNlcl9pZD03YjBiMmEzOGVkMGU4NDhmYzMzM2ZkODkwOGI5ZDBiNlcDbnl0QgpnEublFGfRB0P0UhV2YWNuY2Fib2FyZEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~" class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">Read our review here</a><span>.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>More on books</span></h2><div style="margin:0 auto;max-width:600px;width:100%"><table><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 5px"><ul class="css-14t63jt" style="color:#333;font:10px georgia,serif;text-align:left;padding-left:50px"><li style="margin:0 0 10px 0;line-height:27.5px"><span style="font-size:17px;line-height:25px;vertical-align:middle">“When you’re in the spotlight, people tend to speak for you,” Alex Van Halen writes of his rocker brother, Eddie, </span><a href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/Ix7sES6mzzdNP8uBQ30q3w~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRo92rmP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8xMC8xNi9hcnRzL211c2ljL2FsZXgtdmFuLWhhbGVuLWVkZGllLXZhbi1oYWxlbi1icm90aGVycy1ib29rLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MTAyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzczMzgmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD0yMDg2NzIzMTYmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODA5MDcmdXNlcl9pZD03YjBiMmEzOGVkMGU4NDhmYzMzM2ZkODkwOGI5ZDBiNlcDbnl0QgpnEublFGfRB0P0UhV2YWNuY2Fib2FyZEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~" class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;vertical-align:middle">in a new memoir</a><span style="font-size:17px;line-height:25px;vertical-align:middle">. “I wanted to remind people that Ed was not a commodity.
