economy: Economy, Housing Market On Track For Growth - 05/01/12 12:18 PM
Freddie Mac’s most recent U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook says the labor market is on track for an increase in job growth this year and the economy and housing market continue to make progress. According to Freddie Mac’s outlook, unemployment should fall to 8.0 percent by the fourth quarter and major economic indicators such as retail sales and payroll performance should show continued improvement.

economy: Home Values Hold Steady in Third Quarter - 11/29/11 11:47 PM
The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices shows the U.S. National Home Price Index up just 0.1 percent from the second quarter. But, though the national index registered a drop of 3.9 percent from the third quarter of last year, the rate of decline improved over the year-over-year decrease seen in the second quarter.

Fannie Mae’s September National Housing Survey polled 1,002 Americans to assess their attitudes toward homeownership, renting a home, mortgage rates, the economy, and their household finances. The September survey found Americans continue to link their personal finances with the state of the overall economy.
