Reporting on a two-month lag, the government said home values rose 0.7 percent in November. National home prices are at their highest point since February 2009. But before we look too much into the FHFA's Home Price Index, it's important that we're cognizant of its shortcomings; the most important of which is its lack of real-time reporting. According to the National Association of Realtors™, 80% of purchases close within 60 days. As a result, because of its two-month delay, the Home Price Index report actually trails today's market data by an entire sales cycle. This is one reason why home values appear to be rising even while new data shows that......

Both mortgage rates and home affordability took a turn for the better Wednesday after the Federal Reserve released its December 15-16, 2009 meeting minutes. The Fed Minutes is a follow-up piece to the post-FOMC meeting press release. But whereas the press release is succinct and to-the-point, the minutes are lengthy and often meandering. As a comparison, December's press release contained 535 words. December's minutes had 6,260. But these "extra words" aren't superfluous. They're actually very important to homeowners. Because the Federal Reserve's internal debates help to shape Wall Street expectations, it doesn't take much for those conversations to have a trickle-down effect on Main Street. For example, after the December meeting, the Fed said that...... Read the COMPLETE BLOG POST HE... 01/06/2010

Mortgage markets improved last week as pricing followed a roller coaster-like pattern. After touching a 6-week high Tuesday, rates rallied to weekly lows Thursday, and then jumped back higher Friday. Despite the improvement last week overall, mortgage pricing remains significantly worse from the all-time lows set in late-November. Oddly, last week's most prominent mortgage-related story wasn't the most influential one. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee adjourned from a two-day meeting.  It voted to leave the Fed Funds Rate unchanged from its current target zone of 0.000-0.250 percent.  This wasn't news, per se -- markets expected the "no change" vote. However, in its accompanying press release, the Fed appeared more rosy in its economic outlook, citing improving labor mark... 12/21/2009
