On Tuesday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came in cooler than expected , and the bond market loved it, driving mortgage rates lower. Where do we go from here?

The sales cycle in real estate is frequently measured at 3+ months. During this time, real estate agents frequently lose contact with clients and miss out on opportunities because they fail to follow up and provide value to the client.

Buying a house is a complicated process, so it’s refreshing when one simple concept covers more than one aspect of it. Escrow is just such a concept. This is the practice of enlisting a third party to hold both the deed to a property and the money used to buy it until both buyer and seller are satisfied with the terms. When this idea originated around the turn of the 20th century , selling property was much more simple.

Most people don’t buy their “forever house” right out of the gate. It’s hard to afford a home that has the size and amenities you want on your first (or even second) purchase. So most people start out with something a little smaller, needing some work, or not in their ideal location. The plan is usually to spend a few years in it, then sell it to buy a bigger, better home in your ideal neighborhood once you’ve built up some equity.
