  • The Postwar Pattern of Mortgage Interest Rates
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: The Postwar Residential Mortgage Market Volume Author/Editor: Saul B. Klaman Volume Publisher: Princeton University Press Volume ISBN: 0-870-14106-6 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/klam61-1 Publication Date: 1961 Chapter Title: The Postwar Pattern of Mortgage Interest Rates Chapter Author: Saul B. Klaman Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c2341 Chapter pages in book: (p. 74 - 98) CHAPTER 4 The Postwar Pattern of Mortgage Interest Rates THE course of mortgage interest rates and its relationship to the flow of mortgage funds are referred to in most chapters of this report. Separate treatment is given here to that subject, so fundamentally important to an understanding of postwar market developments. The influence of shifting market forces on mortgage flows has often been transmitted through changes in mortgage interest rates and yields and in their relationship to yields of other capital market securities.'Little current information on these points has been available, and obtaining data is difficult because of the complexities of interrelationships between mortgage interest rates, other mortgage terms, and the demand and supply of mortgage funds. Obviously, such gaps in our knowledge of this important area- cannot be filled by what follows. We may hope that a future broad-scaled study of interest rates, as suggested by the National Bureau, will include the mortgage field. Meanwhile, a beginning is made here by presentation of new data on conventional mortgage interest rates, by examination of the effects of discounts on FHA and VA loans, and by analysis of the relationship of changes in mortgage yields to changes in the flow of mortgage funds.

  • Real Estate Agents Will Lose Value As Digital Peer-To-Peer Exchange Platforms Couple Exponentially with Technological Advancements by Cusumano, L
    Real Estate Agents Will Lose Value as Digital Peer-to-Peer Exchange Platforms Couple Exponentially with Technological Advancements by Cusumano, L. A Thesis Submitted to REALTOR® University In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Master of Real Estate Professor, Dr. Sullivan April 24, 2017 Abstract As technology collides with disruptive innovation, residential buyers and sellers will no longer want or need some or all services offered by a traditional real estate brokerage. Consumers are frequently becoming self-serving as they can now find a vast amount of housing information and apps through their mobile devices. Today’s consumers are more cognizant of the fact that many brokerages throughout the US are now limiting their liabilities to protect their own company and maximize their profits through earning both sides of the commission thus eliminating undivided loyalty, protection, and full representation to the consumer. Furthermore, tech savvy buyers and sellers have watched numerous home programs and videos, have easy access to MLS and many other real estate websites, and will continually seek out money saving solutions while buying and selling their home. Like Uber and Airbnb, digital peer to peer exchange platforms coupled with built in algorithms and artificial intelligence will gain allegiance among future home buyers and sellers, thus creating new real estate models and fewer agents in the industry. Keywords: algorithms, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, buyer agent, designated agency, drones, dual agency, exclusive buyer agent, facilitator, FSBO, for sale by owner, listing agent, peer-to-peer, transaction brokerage, single agent, Uber, virtual reality, wearable technology. i Table of Contents Abstract.

    MARCH 2019 US Real Estate Trends and Updates Austin Skyline 02 US Market Overview On balance, 2019 is expected to bring continued economic strength in the US, as we extend into the longest recorded expansion in US history. While inflation and geopolitical events pose tangible risks, the US economy’s growth is expected to endure through the year as consumer and business confidence remains high. Labor Markets The 2018 US job market was strong with an average of 220,000 jobs added per month in 2018 (21% greater than 2017) with an additional 300,000 jobs added in January 20192. Accordingly, year-end unemployment was very low at 3.9% (versus 4.4% in Midtown on Main, Arizona 2017)3. At these sustained levels, employers are experiencing increased difficulty in finding qualified employees. As noted above, we are starting to see this difficulty finally manifest itself Economy in increasing real wages. 2018 exhibited a healthy 2.9% annual rate of real GDP growth, That said, increasing wages should support consumer spending extending an expansion (118 months) that is now approaching (2.7% growth in 2018), in turn.
