| The Mortgage Bankers Association"s (MBA) weekly application survey continues to track closely with the more granular daily rate data from MND.

| Home Prices Falling or Growing Less Quickly? | ||
| 5/30/2025 3:59 PM | ||
| Both FHFA and Case Shiller released home price data this week with some mixed messages for the housing market.

| 5/23/2025 2:07 PM | ||
| The Census Bureau reported New Home Sales for April today, and at face value, the news is good. Economists expected an annual pace of 692k, but were instead treated to a surprisingly high 743k--just edging out 3 of the best months over the past 3 years.
