Market Report - American Family Funding

 

Kick off the Halloween fun with this quick feature, made just for you. Be sure to wait for the (not-so-) scary part at the end.

Hope your day is filled with fun and treats!

 

I don’t need a fancy watch to tell me I’m not fit one bit.

 Not to brag or anything, but I can forget what I’m doing while I’m doing it.

It’s all fun and games until your jeans don’t fit any more.

My daily routine. Morning: Feeling tired, cranky and lazy. Afternoon: I could go for a nap. Night: I can’t sleep.

Just once I’d like to read a medication label that says: Warning, may cause permanent weight loss, increased energy and wrinkle removal.

 

Now The Market Report . . .

 

September’s factory orders for big-ticket manufactured goods tumbled by the largest amount in 4 months, indicating continuing struggles in the industry.

Stocks improved this week as corporate earnings results helped investors shrug off signs that global growth is losing momentum.

Despite an overall slowing economy, jobless claims fell last week. A strong labor market boosts consumer confidence and the economy.

 

The FHFA reports home prices rose 0.2% in August from July and were up 4.6% year-over-year.

New home sales fell 0.7% in September, as low inventories continue to weigh on sales. The median new home price is $299,400, an 8.8% drop from a year ago.

The latest housing trend is backyard “accessory dwelling units,” small second homes used for rentals or additional guest living space.

 

“When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the fire department usually uses water.”
