Market Report - American Family Funding

 

 

 

Making food: 1 hour. Eating food: 20 seconds. Washing dishes: never ending.

When I try on clothes that don’t make me look good, I just throw them on the floor. Like, no, you don’t deserve to be hung up, think about what you’ve done.

You know the potholes on a road are bad when they assign lifeguards to them, in case anybody falls inside.

 

Now The Market Report . . .

 

Trade issues continue to help keep mortgage rates low. Talks continue between the U.S. and Canada, but tensions are escalating between the U.S. and China.

The White House Council of Economic Advisers says wages are growing faster than “traditional measures” indicate. Wage inflation can contribute to rising interest rates.

Last week, jobless claims fell to a 49-year low as private payrolls rose in August. The sustained labor market strength should continue to drive economic growth.

 

CoreLogic’s Home Price Index report for July shows home prices across the U.S. rose by 6.2% year-over-year. However, home price increases are decelerating.

A Redfin survey shows recent increases in mortgage rates aren’t scaring away buyers. Only 2.6% had decided to postpone their search.

 

As I get older and remember all the people I’ve lost along the way, I think to myself, “Maybe a career as a tour guide wasn’t for me.”
