How come wrong numbers are never busy?
They say you can’t have your bread buttered on both sides. I say, you can, but you might get your hands dirty in the process.

Now The Market Report . . .
Mortgage rates have consistently crept up a little each week through 2018, hitting 4-year highs. Even still, rates are historically low, which may make it a good time to buy.

The outlook for 2018 is good for the economy, and the Fed is expected to raise policy rates. It’s likely mortgage rates will increase some more this year.
Mortgage applications have been on the rise recently despite higher rates. Applications were up 5% last week compared to the same time last year.
