Mortgage News for Week of January 6th, 2014
Mortgage News for Week of January 6th, 2014
 

The last week of 2013 brought relatively good news in view of the economic roller coaster rides caused by legislative impasse. A brief shutdown of federal government agencies, and nail-biting suspense over if and when the FOMC of the Federal Reserve would taper its quantitative easing program.
Last week's news was not high in volume due to the New Year holiday, but it does suggest that a general economic recovery is progressing and that housing markets are leading the "charge!". Here are the details:
The NAR's data of month-to-month reading of 0.20 percent showed an increase of 0.20 percent over October's reading of -1.20 percent, which was the lowest reading for pending home sales in five months.
Lawrence Yun, chief economist for NAR, said that "...the positive fundamentals of job creation and household formation are likely to foster a fairly stable level of contract activity in 2014."
November's year-over-year reading for pending home sales was 101.7 against a reading of 103.3 for November 2013. The good news is that November's reading exceeded a 10-month low of 101.50 for October 2013.
