Mortgage Weekly Update - Last Week in Review - We could be wrong!
Foster Weeks publishes a weekly mortgage report which is updated every Monday morning. How is this affecting the San Francisco real estate market? Read our weekly and monthly market reports....after a trend of gradually worsening over the past month, Bond prices and home loan rates finally got the good news they'd been waiting for...that pesky inflation rate finally appears to be moving lower. Early last week, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed core consumer price inflation as better than anticipated, falling to a year-over-year 2.5% rate, down from 2.7% reported last month. While lower prices on goods and services are certainly good news for all of us, the consumers; it was especially welcome for inflation-hating Bonds and home loan rates. Following the news, home loan rates improved by .125%, and appeared destined to improve even more.
But this wasn't to be - what happened? Bond prices were feeling the love, home loan rates were improving - but right in the middle of the party, Bonds ran dead into a tough ceiling of technical resistance, stopping them cold and turning them back, causing them to lose some of the nice ground they'd made in the first part of the week. The path of least resistance ahead appears to be that Bond prices and home loan rates may worsen before they get better...but it all depends on the flavor of the news ahead. Read more.

Yeah, reminds me of the stock market.
My name is Scott and I work for Wallhogs. We just began making Wallhogs for some realtors to use for their advertising and marketing. Is this something that would work in your industry? Let me know if this is something that you'd be interested in hearing more about and I can show you some examples and explain anything that needs explaining.
Thanks,
Scott at Wallhogs
