The past few weeks have been steady as she goes, so I'm going to mail in this post.  Interest rates took a nice dip last week and continue to hold ground just north of 4%, lending support to the housing market, while real estate remains stable with moderate softening.  Existing home sales came in...

If you've followed my previous blogs, I've postured that the slowdown in real estate was a brief pause, rather than a substantial decline in the market.  February's existing home sales bounced back with a blistering 12% increase over January, but still down 2% year over year.....I'll take it!  Th...

Mortgage interest rates dipped to the mid-4% range in the fourth quarter of 2018 largely fueled by concerns over a European economy that can't seem to get out of first gear over the past 10 years, and ongoing China trade negotiations.  More recent housing and employment data has put economists a ...

GDP Beats Forecasts In my last blog post, I reported sales of newly built home increased 40% month over month in December lending optimism that maybe the fourth quarter slowdown in housing would be a short-lived breather followed by a pick up in sales as we near the spring market.  Unfortunately,...

 Major economic events made this a volatile week. Wednesday's Fed meeting was strongly positive for mortgage rates, while Friday's Employment report was modestly negative. The net result was a decline in rates for the week.   As expected, the Fed held the federal funds rate steady in light of sto...

As sure as the Holidays pass, and father time swipes the clock to the new year, Realtors will begin touting that winter is the best time of the year, not only to buy a home, but to sell as well.  The mantra goes, there is less inventory, so a would be home seller has less competition.  Conversely...

  Continuing concern about the pace of global economic growth was good for mortgage rates and negative for stocks this week.
