Sara Falligant | Opelika-Auburn News | Twitter Spotlights danced over East University Drive Tuesday to announce the grand opening of Auburn’s Carmike Wynnsong 14 BigD auditorium. The state-of-the-art theater boasts a 70-foot by three-and-a-half-story screen and roughly 545 custom luxury seats. “It’s definitely going to be an experience you can feel as well as see,” manager Tobias Farley said.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) By Les Christie In an effort to open up lending to more low-income and first time home buyers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced Monday that they will start backing mortgages with down payments of as little as 3% of the home's price. But borrowers will still need to meet strict criteria first, the two government-backed mortgage giants said. The new loans will only be doled out to those who buy private mortgage insurance, have a credit score of at least 620 and offer complete documentation of their income, assets and job status. And, to further mitigate risk, the agencies will require borrowers to receive home ownership counseling. Both programs are for fixed-rate loans given to first time homebuyers and those seeking to refinance. Fannie will start backing the loa...

CoreLogic: US home prices accelerated in October Published: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 7:16 a.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 7:16 a.m. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home prices rose at a faster year-over-year pace in October than in September, snapping a sevenmonth slowdown.

Still, home values are rising more slowly than they were earlier this year, when 12-month gains were averaging nearly double their current pace. The price momentum began to tail off in the middle of the year as home values in more cities and states neared the record highs last seen shortly before the Great Recess...
