National Daily Comprehensive Headline News, including the latest Southern California wildfires, inflation, stock and bond markets, rates, and overview of important news in the United States for Friday January 10th, 2025. On January 10, 2025, there will be a roundup of major national news covering the fires in Southern California, economic indicators, and national markets.

Southern California Wildfires:

Wildfires are raging in southern California, and roughly 36,685 acres of land have been burned, mostly in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Palisades Fire, Hurst Fire, and Eaton Fire are the main ones. These fires have resulted in the death of not less than ten people, destruction or damage to over 13,400 structures, and evacuation of close to 180,000 residents. Adding to the problem are severe Santa Ana winds that blow with speeds above 80-100 miles per hour and dry weather conditions. Authorities are examining the causes emphasizing extreme climate patterns.

Economic Indicators:

Employment Data:

• In December alone, the U.S. economy added more jobs than anticipated – a total of 256 thousand – thereby reducing unemployment rates.
• This noteworthy increase in employment suggests a robust labor market that could influence the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy choices.

Inflation Concerns:

• Anticipated import tariffs have pushed consumer inflation expectations, leading to concerns that prices may rise in the coming months.

Financial Markets:

Bond Market:

• Following yesterday’s strong employment report, U.S. Treasury yields jumped, with the 10-year yield nearing five percent.
• This change reflects investors’ readjustment of their forecasts for Federal Reserve interest rates.

Stock Market:

• The main U.S. stock indices fell, including the S&P500 (1.5%), DJIA (1.4%), and Nasdaq (1%).
• Investors worry that continued economic strength may mean higher interest rates, impacting corporate earnings and valuations.

Outlook on Interest Rate:

• The Federal Reserve, which started to cut rates in September 2024, is now expected to maintain current interest rates for longer.
• Some analysts argue that the Fed may contemplate raising rates in 2025 if inflationary pressures intensify.

Other Developments

Corporate Bond Issuance:

• Major American companies are issuing bonds faster and faster to capture current borrowing costs, keeping rising Treasury yields in mind.
• This week, $62.7 bn was raised across 39 issuers—a record.

Public Health Emergency

The U.S. Department of Health has declared a public health emergency for California due to wildfires to facilitate federal help for affected communities.

In summary, America faces several challenges, including huge wildfires in Southern California and economic dynamics marked by strong employment numbers, increasing inflation outlooks, and unstable financial markets.

As of the week ending on April 25, 2024, the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is reported at approximately 7.877%. It’s important to note that these rates have seen some fluctuations, and various factors including economic conditions and the borrower’s credit profile influence the final rate offered. For those considering refinancing, the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate refinance loan has slightly increased to about 8.425%​​.

Mortgage rates are significantly influenced by economic factors, personal financial details of the borrower, and the specific conditions of the mortgage market at the time. For instance, someone with a strong credit score and a substantial down payment might secure a lower rate, while those with lower credit scores or smaller down payments might face higher rates​​.

If you’re thinking of securing a mortgage or refinancing your current one, it would be beneficial to compare rates from multiple lenders to find the best deal for your situation. As of April 30, 2024, the housing market is showing signs of resilience and growth in certain areas despite ongoing challenges like high mortgage rates and affordability issues. Key insights include:

• Home sales have seen a mix of increases and decreases depending on the region. Nationally, existing home sales have improved month-over-month but are still below the levels from the previous year. New home sales show slight growth compared to the previous year, indicating a shift where more buyers are opting for new homes due to the low supply of existing homes​ (Freddie Mac – We Make Home Possible)​.

• The National Association of Realtors (NAR) forecasts a significant increase in existing-home sales to 4.71 million for 2024, which is up from the previous year. This growth is expected to be concentrated in markets with high demand such as Austin, Texas, which is noted as a top market to watch due to pent-up housing demand​ (http://www.nar.realtor)​.

• Mortgage rates have remained steady with an average of around 6.8% as of March, impacting both buying and refinancing activities. Although this presents challenges, there’s an uptick in both refinance activity and purchase applications as the market adapts to these conditions​ (Freddie Mac – We Make Home Possible)​.

Overall, while the housing market faces headwinds from higher rates and price pressures, certain regions are experiencing growth, and there’s a general sense of cautious optimism as the market adapts to the economic landscape of 2024.

My big guy Chase, my German Shepherd Dog, has a baby sister. SKYLAR. Skylar is an eight month old female long coat black and red German Shepherd Dog from the same breeder Chase came from. Chase is neutered and i am going to get Skylar spayed in about six months. Skylar is underweight and skinny. You can feel the ribs when you pet her on the sides of her body. Skylar was the runt of the litter and was bullied on by her furry brothers and sisters. She was bit in many places and her siblings stole her portion of Dog food so that is why she is underweight and malnourished. Had a visit to the veterinarian and got her tested for worms 🪱 and parasites. Results came back negative. Skylar is takung a 14 day antibiotics program due to her scabs, a lump on her left side rib area due to blunt trauma and urinary infection and scratches on her vulva. She got her rabbits and puppy shots and weighs 52.5 pounds. Unfortunately Skylar is not fully potty trained nor obedience trained. I will work on a training regiment after a few weeks. Extremely skittish therefore I want her to get used to her new home and her new family and environment. Here are a few photos of Skylar and Chase. One of Skylar ears is floppy. I adopted Skylar on Sunday October 6th. Dan Ivenovic dropped her off the house. Dan has two other German Shepherd pups that are nine months. Please let me know if anyone is interested . Price is discounted. 9 months old.

Comprehensive Overview and Summary of Mortgage and Real Estate, and Business News for Wednesday January 1st, 2025.

Below is the summary regarding mortgages, real estate, and business news for Wednesday, January 1, 2025:

Mortgage and Real Estate BriefUnited States:

Housing Market Activity:

A slowdown in the United States housing market was observed in early 2024 owing to stagnated mortgage rates and an increase in home prices. New listings scalped for the first time since June 2023 while the pending home sales growth decelerated.

Mortgage Rates:

Throughout 2024, mortgage rates were chaotic, and as a result, home affordability went downward. By January 2024, rates came down from their peak established in October 2023, which assisted in buying potential buyers.

Home Prices:

From 2023 to 2024, the median sale price of homes continued to rise, reaching $362,113 in January 2025, a 4.2% increase from the previous year. This trend escalated existing affordability barriers for a vast majority of buyers to above unfortunate limits.

Australia:

Home Prices:

In Australia, statistics illustrate that home prices declined by 0.1% in December 2024 compared to the Australian home prices, which saw a monthly rise in Canada two years ago. Major Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne both observe declines of 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively.

Interest Rates:

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) retained interest rates at 4.35% during 2024, which was 12 years high. Market predictions led to interest rate cuts in 2025, which could, in effect, steer home prices.

United Kingdom:

Mortgage Rates and Cash Buyers

Rising mortgage rates increased the number of cash buyers in the market, accounting for 31% of property sales in early 2024.

The increase in interest rates has led to some homebuyers opting to purchase homes in cash rather than obtain a mortgage because they don’t want to bear the costs of a loan.

Retail UpdateRETAIL/RETAIL HIGHLIGHTS

Contagion from Housing Crisis:

The retail sector in the US had also been severely impacted by the weakened housing market, which led to home durable goods sales collapsing in 2024. Concomitantly, Big Lots and Conn’s reported overstocks, which caused them to shutter more locations than they expanded in the entirety of the year, leading to the overall net store closures of about 1400.

REAL ESTATE

Property Outlook Determinants:

The uncertainties of the economic state led to subdued demand, coupled with higher financing rates, creating an imbalance. Consolidated Offices witnessed a drop in demand due to the patterns of hybrid and remote work. The sector is expected to grapple with refinancing nearly USD 570 billion worth of matured commercial real estate loans by 2025.

PROPERTY/REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

Single Successful Candidates:

Some outliers managed to profit from market trends with great effort. For example, 30 aged rental property owners in Des Moines, Iowa, earned around 240,000 from rental properties in 2023 while fully employed in the day sector.

Regional Commentary: Shorewood in Wisconsin MSA

Property Trends:

In February 2023, Wisconsin noticed a 6 percent rise in the average housing price, reaching an estimated $265,000.

Sales have become increasing with inventories of 2.5 months worth of supply remaining. Along with this, new listings have also surged by up to 10.1%.

Real estate and business markets are ever-changing, and conditions tend to shift quickly, so to get real-time information, check in with local real estate agents or financial advisors in addition to authentic news sources.

Mortgage and Real Estate News Update for December 30th 2024

Until December 30, 2024, trends have emerged and developed in the mortgage and real estate industry as follows:

Current Rates:

• The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is around 6.85%, indicating an upward trend from 6.72%.

Federal Action:

• While the Federal Reserve has cut rates, that has not been reflected in mortgage rates.
• This
  is primarily because the Fed’s benchmark rate cuts have been negated by
  higher 10-year Treasury yields due to inflationary worries, causing
  mortgages to remain higher.

Pending Home Sales:

• The
  US saw a successful November, with purchase contracts of used homes
  rising by 2.2%, the highest level in 21 months, over November.
• This
  signaled the potential recovery of the US housing sector, as not only
  did this mark an increase compared to October, but there was a
  noticeable trend over the past four months.

Regional Variation:

• Moderation in Housing Stock has aided growth in home purchases, with YoY housing inventory rising to over 18%.
• However,
  the South and West regions saw an increase in the sales of Pending
  homes, which was contrasted with a decrease in the Northeast region.

Forecasts of the market for the year 2025

Mortgage Rates:

• As estimated, mortgage rates will stay above the 6% threshold in 2025, with chances of reaching 6.8%.
• These measures assume inflation and a rise in the national debt due to future strategies.

Prices of Homes:

• The estimates suggest that home prices will increase by approximately 3.7% by 2025.
• Such estimates gauge home prices increased by 4% in 2024 and 1.1% in 2023, suggesting appreciation for the rules set.

Construction inventory:

• The
  estimates suggest construction will rise in 2025, with an estimated
  13.8% increase in new construction and an estimated 11.7% increase in
  inventory sales.
• This expansion could provide buyers with ample options, decreasing the competition in the market.

Opinion of the Consumers:

• The sentiment surrounding the housing market is now more optimistic than ever.
• An unprecedented share of respondents think the rates will lower in the coming year.
• At the same time, an appropriate number of them think the housing market will be a good area to invest in.

We are slowly seeing some stability in the mortgage and real estate markets, with slight increases in home sales and the prices of homes, although I wouldn’t hold my breath for those rates to come down anytime soon. For mortgage seekers, and even home buyers and sellers, despite the high competition we face in the market, deep knowledge of economic indicators helps to forecast market trends that promote reliable decision-making in today’s global environment.

Breaking News from Perry, Indiana. Tyson Foods fires American workers and hires migrant workers. Recently, there have been rumors that Tyson Foods has fired American employees in Perry, Indiana, and replaced them with migrant labor. Such claims lack evidence and take a situation out of context.

Clarification of Events:

The company stated specific business reasons for the closure and encouraged affected employees to apply for other positions within Tyson Foods. Perry, Iowa Plant Closure: Tyson Foods announced in March 2024 the shutdown of its pork processing plant in Perry, Iowa, leading to the layoff of around 1,200 workers. Misinformation on Hiring Practices:

After the factory shut down, speculation went viral, alleging that Tyson would employ 52 thousand immigrants to replace those who lost their jobs. The company has repeatedly denied these claims, saying it has no plan to recruit them and that every worker must be legally authorized to work in America.

Tyson Foods’ Employment Policies:

Tyson Foods says, “We would like to make it clear once again that we only hire people with the legal right to work in this country.” The company has established strong hiring guidelines to ensure adherence to employment laws and participates in government schemes such as the IMAGE (Mutual Agreement between Government and Employees) program and E-Verify.

Tyson’s Commitment to Employing Refugees: In 2022, Tyson committed to hiring approximately 2,500 refugees over three years in partnership with Tent Partnership for Refugees.

This initiative differs from the layoffs in Perry, Iowa, as these individuals have work permits.

Current Status in Perry, Indiana:

No Reported Layoffs or Replacements: According to credible reports, Tyson Foods has not laid off any local American workers in Perry, Indiana, and replaced them with migrant laborers. However, confusion may arise based on what happened in Perry, Iowa, and misinformation afterward.

Unfounded Claims of Firing Americans and Hiring Migrants by Tyson Food Industries Inc

The company imposes strict recruitment strategies to verify the legality of each employee’s employment documents within U.S. boundaries. Instead of rumors, reliable sources should be used to provide information.

Daily Mortgage and Real Estate News for Tuesday, January 7th, 2025:

Some significant developments can be noted in the mortgage and real estate markets as of January 7, 2025:

Mortgage Rates

Current Rates:

The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 6.91%, up from 6.85% the previous week. This marks the highest rate since July 2024.

Forecast:

• Analysts predict that mortgage rates will remain elevated throughout 2025, averaging around 6.4%.
• This is slightly lower than the 6.7% average in 2024 but still above the historical average of 4% from 2013 to 2019.

Housing Market Trends:

Home Prices:

• Nationally, home prices are projected to rise 3.7% in 2025, followed by 4% in 2024 and 1.1% in 2023.
• This trend is expected to continue due to limited housing inventory and sustained demand.

Sales Activity:

• Existing home sales are expected to increase by 1.5% to 4.07 million units in 2025, which is still below the 2013-2019 average.
• The supply of homes for sale is expected to improve by 11.7%, and new home constructions are projected to surge by 13.8%, reaching 1.1 million new units.

Current Rates:

• The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage rose to 6.91% from 6.85% the previous week, marking the highest since July 2024.

Forecast:

• Mortgage rates are expected to remain elevated throughout 2025, averaging about 6.4%, slightly lower than the average of 6.7% in 2024.
• However, it will still exceed the historical average of about four percent between 2013 and 2019.

Regional Insights:

Wisconsin Market:

• Many predict the Wisconsin real estate market will favor sellers during 2024, with a slow rise in home prices and a 6.5% increase in the number of homes for sale.
• Buyers have more choices today, but it is still competitive.

Climate Hazard Considerations:

Climate-Risk Scores:

• Climate risk assessments are becoming important to homebuyer decision-making processes.
• Platforms like Zillow now provide climate-risk scores, which indicate potential damage from flooding, fires, or winds over the next three decades.
• The scores may affect property prices and buyer behavior, making homes in less risky areas more desirable.

Mortgage rates are higher, climate risks are receiving increased attention, and home prices continue to increase. Prospective buyers and sellers should keep pace with these trends to make informed decisions about their properties.

What would I need to qualify for FHA loan during bankruptcy (over 12 on time payments), no late payments on credit, etc

Comprehensive Overview of Daily National Mortgage, Real Estate, and Business News including mortgage rates, housing starts, unemployment, and interest rate forecast for Thursday January 8th 2025. As of Thursday, January 9, 2025, we will provide an overview of what has happened in the U.S. mortgage market or the real estate and business sectors. We will also share any updates concerning mortgage rates, housing starts, unemployment rates, and interest rate projections.

Mortgage Rates:

Current Trends:

• The average yield on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages has spiked to 6.93 percent, marking the fourth consecutive week of increase and hitting its highest since early July.
• This rise is closely associated with the climbing yields on 10-year Treasury bonds in the U.S., which were at 3.62% mid-September but reached a peak at 4.66% currently.
• Heightened mortgage rates and soaring home prices are increasing housing affordability pressures on potential buyers.

Housing Market

Housing Starts:

• The housing market saw a significant slowdown, as December recorded the most substantial season deceleration in almost two years.
• It took an average of 70 days for homes to sell in December, marking the slowest December period in five years.
• This trend can be mostly attributed to higher mortgage rates that discourage potential buyers from buying a home or selling their current ones.
• Also, housing inventory decreased by 8.6% in November, representing the biggest monthly decline since January 2023.

Homebuilder Sentiment:

• U.S. homebuilders’ shares have fallen due to concerns about protracted high interest rates and prospective policy changes under Trump’s administration, such as increased tariffs and mass deportations that could raise construction costs.
• Since November, the S&P500 Homebuilding Index declined by 17.3%, reaching its lowest level since July.

Employment Data

Unemployment Claims:

• The labor market has remained robust, with new jobless benefit applications falling to eight-month lows.
• Initial claims fell by 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 211,000 for the week ending December 28.
• This indicates that layoffs are decreasing and that labor market strength is being maintained.

Interest Rate Forecast

Federal Reserve Policy:

• Financial markets are becoming more skeptical of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2025.
• High inflation rates above the Fed’s 2% target and better-than-anticipated economic performance could mean the tight monetary policy can continue.
• Market sentiment shows a 15% probability of no change in rates this year, up from last month’s figure of 4%.

Economic Outlook

Growth Projections:

• The U.S. economy has shown resilience, with growth rates pegged at 2-3%.
• However, there is speculation over a possible slowdown as high interest rates affect sectors such as construction and mortgage applications.
• Yet, despite these concerns, consumer spending and investment have been largely stable.

Implications for Stakeholders

Homebuyers and Sellers:

• Elevated mortgage rates and home prices continue to challenge affordability, potentially deterring prospective buyers or influencing sellers’ decisions.
• Homeowners are advised to delay refinancing until the rates reduce, while others should focus on making home improvements that increase equity.

Investors and Businesses:

Mayor Brandon Johnson says that for Chicago to function fully, he needs $ 300 million. To do this, he wants property tax revenue from homeowners and real estate investors in Chicago, which will allow him to cover the budget deficit. So, why is Chicago so broke? Why is there a hiring freeze, and why can we not hire 700 vacancies in the Chicago police department when crime rates are skyrocketing? Why does Chicago need to make across-the-board personnel? Why is Chicago increasing fees and costs on city services, such as parking and other revenue-generating portals?

The answer is obvious. Mayor Johnson has welcomed tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, costing the City of Chicago 1 billion dollars.

Allowing the crossing of border illegal immigrants causes a $1 billion deficit in the budget, which the Chicago homeowners and real estate investors can cover up with an additional $300 million tax in 2025. Shouldn’t the citizens of Chicago and other cities do something and eliminate incompetent politicians? Besides Mayor Brandon, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is another incompetent politician who needs politician experience running a large city and state.

Barack Obama, aka Barack Hussain Obama, aka Barry Obama, says he was not born in the United States, and he was not born in Hawaii.

So what does all this mean? This means we have a fraudster who wormed 🪱 🐛 🪱 🐛 🪱 🐛 his way to the White House for two terms (8 years) and is has been the puppeteer of Joe Biden and has the biggest voice of the Democrats. Barack Obama has committed TREASON and is the biggest enemy of state and the number one threat of our nation. What else did this worm lie about? What else did Barack Hussain Obama lie, mislead, or not say that was misleading or misled? Is he a gay man who impersonated a straight man? Is he married to a man? Is he married to a transgender, Michael Robinson Obama aka Michelle Robinson Obama aka Big Mike? What type of Treason did Barack Obama commit? Is Barack Obama still releasing top secret information to our enemies? Barack Hussain Obama needs to be investigated as well anyone in Barry Obama’s circle folks.

Are there corrupt cops? How could that be when the recruitment and hiring process of police officers include a thorough assessment of the police applicant’s background. Background investigation includes interviews of former and current employers, co-workers, supervisors, neighbors, classmates, and teachers. Background investigators of police officer recruits will check the candidates credit and employment backgrounds, criminal arrests and convictions, public records, and medical and psychological history records. Many law enforcement agencies will conduct written psychological examinations as well as an oral interview with a board certified psychologist. Other police agencies will have polygraph examinations as part of the background investigation process. Like many other professions, there are bad apples in law enforcement. Here are some videos of corrupt police officers caught on tape.

The yield on a two-year Treasury bond is typically calculated as the yield to maturity (YTM), which represents the total return an investor can expect to receive if the bond is held until it matures. The formula for calculating the yield to maturity on a bond involves several components, and it is a complex equation. Here’s a simplified explanation:

YTM = \left( \frac{{\text{Face Value}}}{{\text{Current Price}}} \right)^{\frac{1}}{{\text{Time to Maturity}}} – 1

Where:

Face Value

Face Value is the nominal value of the bond.

Current Price

• Current Price is the current market price of the bond.
• Time to Maturity is the remaining time until the bond matures.

This formula assumes that all interest payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond’s current yield to maturity. Keep in mind that bond prices can fluctuate in the secondary market based on various factors such as changes in interest rates, economic conditions, and investor sentiment.

It’s important to note that the yield on a bond is inversely related to its price. As bond prices rise, yields fall, and vice versa. Bond yields are often expressed as an annual percentage. The yield on a Treasury bond is considered a benchmark for interest rates and is closely watched by investors and policymakers.

For more precise calculations, including adjustments for coupon payments and compounding, financial calculators or specialized financial software are commonly used. Additionally, financial institutions and websites often provide up-to-date yield information for various Treasury securities.
