-
This is the latest in national headline news pertaining to real estate, housing, mortgage and interest rates, the economy, unemployment, the Federal Reserve Board, Consumer Price Index (CPI), GDP, housing inventory versus demand, the Dow Jones, precious metals, other markets, and the entire commercial and residential mortgaging industry, effective Tuesday, March 18, 2025.
Economic Overview
In their latest analysis, U.S. economists have indicated that they expect a deceleration in the growth rate of the U.S. economy, revising their 2025 outlook from 2.3% to 1.6%. This slowdown is expected due to recently enacted tariffs and uncertainty around policy related to consumer and business spending. Inflation also seems to be on the rise, with the core personal consumption expenditures price index expected to reach 2.8% by year-end 2025.
Federal Reserve and Interest Rates
Federal Reserve started its two-day policy meeting today. It is widely expected that they will keep the interest rates where they are. The Fed is under a lot of scrutiny and investors are looking for commentary surrounding the Fed’s guidance on future monetary policy, particularly given the recent economic slowdown.
Mortgage Rates and Housing Market
Mortgage rates, on the other hand, have had minor increases recently.
As of March 2025, the twenty-five-year fixed mortgage interest rate is 6.65%, while the fifteen-year one stands at 5.8%. Despite these new rates, the housing market still struggles to sustain affordability. The high prices of homes combined with elevated mortgage rates are set to last until 2026. This trend will continue and worsen the housing crisis.
Demand and Supply of Housing Inventory
The United states is experiencing a grave issue, a lack of homes. There is an estimate of a gap of 3.8 million homes for people to buy. Single family home building did see an 11.4% increase during February but that along with the new building permits becoming forward-looking indicators offers a break of 0.2%. Permitting and subsequent construction put a lot of strain on the mounting pressure to construct affordable housing and worsening the home price.
Unemployment Rate
The specific figure for unemployment in March 2025 is still pending, however, recent layoffs, including but not limited to the Department of Health and Human Services, treasury, and agriculture funding offices, have increased concerns over rising numbers for the unemployment rate. We estimate this trend to have lasting effects on consumer spending and the economic growth.
Stock Market Update
America’s stock prices have dipped today, attributing this to anxieties surrounding the changes proposed with tariff policies and the coming Federal Reserve Meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) is valued at $415.61, reflecting a decrease of 0.86%.
Other Precious Metals Outlined
Precious metals have displayed a varied performance:
- Gold: SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) trades at $280.03, showing an increase of 1.19%.
- Silver: The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is currently trading at $31.05, an increase of 0.78%.
- Platinum: Granite Shares Platinum Shares (PLTM) are trading slightly lower at $9.68, down 0.31%.
- Palladium: The abrdn Physical Palladium Shares ETF (PALL) is currently trading at $88.42, down by 0.27%.
Residential, Business, and Commercial Mortgages
This mortgage sector is currently dealing with volatile interest rates and economic uncertainty. With these dynamics, lenders compete with one another with different loan programs to target different borrowers. Some of the main mortgage lending keywords are:
Fixed-Rate Mortgages:
These are loans with constant interest rates throughout the loan.
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs):
- These loans have interest payments that vary at set intervals depending on the current rates.
FHA Loans:
- These loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and are aimed at first-time home purchasers.
VA Loans:
- These are loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and are offered to current service members and veterans.
Jumbo Loans:
- Loans larger than the conforming home loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac set.
Refinancing:
- The action of obtaining a new mortgage to pay off an existing one due to better terms or interest rates.
In short, the U.S. economy is in turmoil due to policy changes, trade wars, and stock market volatility. These affect real estate and housing prices, mortgage rates, and the economy.

Mortgage and Real Estate News Weekend Edition from Monday, January 21st, through Saturday, 25th, 2025. This past week has been a very busy historic week with the Inauguration of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. President Trump did not waste any time and got working starting day one. President Donald Trump does what he says and says what he does. He visited the ravaged areas of North Carolina and California, surveying the disaster area. He pledged to get rid of FEMA and give the money straight to the states to help rebuild the hurricane-ravaged area in North Carolina and the wildfire-ravaged area in Southern California. President Trump said that mortgage rates will go down because the Federal Reserve Board will listen to him. Trump promised he will promise to the American people that homes will be within an affordable range. The housing market will stabilize and get out of being in the super-hyper-surplus state. We will see what happens in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Here’s a summary of the Mortgage and Real Estate News Weekend Edition from January 21 to January 25, 2025, based on your reports:
It’s shocking how they wrote and presented work and claimed it to be theirs. The amount of plagiarism used here is baffling and comes off as unprofessional.
Developments in Mortgage and Real Estate Trump and Vance Inauguration Ceremony
It is a known fact that Trump and Vance dragged
The United States of America is in so much debt that it will take ages to recover from it. When taking office, they utilized pre-existing policies to tackle the debt in the most basic manner possible. They further pledged to curb issues such as anger management and housing discrimination.
Presidential Tours and Catastrophic Relief Support
North Carolina
Trump and Melania appeared in the regions most affected by hurricane destruction. Trump further pledged to shift emergency aid funding by dissolving FEMA and transferring all the funds to state governments for lower-level reallocation.
Southern California
- The President appeared in poorly treated wildfire areas and provided them with empty promises, claiming he’d give out federal funds for reconstruction.
- The lingering issue of mudslides and toxic waste flow due to flooding makes the situation dicey.
Affordability of Housing and the Stabilization of the Market
- Trump made a statement pledging to curb the housing market in any condition, allow families to purchase houses without worry, and adjust his so-called “super hyper surplus state.”
- The challenge of high home prices and low availability makes this problem one of the most accurate.
- In his remarks, he predicted a fall in mortgage rates, claiming he could control the Federal Reserve Board.
- However, no means or measures to reach this objective have been provided.
Concentration on Tips Aid And Federal Aid
Trump’s plan to transfer FEMA disaster relief funding to states is part of his broader scheme to encourage more decentralization. While the proposal has captured a good deal of media attention, both its proponents and opponents are speculating how states will assume the burden of responsibility and whether this will make the rebuilding process more efficient.
Analysis Of The Housing Market Trends
Policies to promote housing affordability combined with other considerations for change in the management of money may influence mortgage rates and the desire of borrowers to purchase homes in the next few months readily or profoundly.
Moreover, analysts project that if demand for housing becomes more moderate and inventory is more readily available, then home prices will theoretically reach a new stable level.
What Comes After
The next few weeks should bring greater precision on Trump as decisions on his housing policies become clearer to the public. Concerns to the real estate sector will be directed toward those issues, including:
- Actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board concerning the level of interest rates.
- Actions undertaken by the states concerning the proposed amendments to FEMA.
- Changes in legislation concerning aid for the affordability of housing.

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.

With only 2 weeks to go before Former President Donald Trump takes office, blue state governors are gearing up for how to go to battle over Trump’s immigration policies, that is the number one item on these big state agendas.

Motorhomes, also known as recreational vehicles (RVs), are designed for living accommodations. They are equipped with amenities found in homes, making them suitable for travel, camping, and extended stays. Motorhomes come in various sizes and styles, ranging from compact camper vans to larger Class A motorhomes. Here are some common types of motorhomes:
Class A Motorhomes are the largest and most luxurious motorhomes, resembling buses. They often have spacious interiors with amenities like full kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. Class A motorhomes are built on heavy-duty chassis.
Class B Motorhomes (Camper Vans) are smaller, van-based motorhomes. They are more compact and easier to drive than Class A or C motorhomes but have limited interior space. Class B motorhomes typically include basic amenities like a small kitchen and bathroom.
Class C Motorhomes: These are built on a truck or van chassis, with a distinctive overhang over the driver’s cab. They compromise Class A’s size and Class B’s maneuverability. They often have sleeping areas over the cab, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living space.
Travel Trailers: While not technically motorhomes, travel trailers are towed by a separate vehicle. They come in various sizes and floor plans, offering flexibility and the option to detach the living space from the towing vehicle.
Fifth-Wheel Trailers: Similar to travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers are towed by a pickup truck with a special hitch. They provide more stability and interior space compared to traditional travel trailers.
Motorhomes typically feature various amenities, including sleeping quarters, kitchens, bathrooms, heating and air conditioning, entertainment systems, and storage space. Some high-end motorhomes may include additional luxuries like satellite TV, washer/dryer units, and slide-out sections that expand living space when parked.
Owning a motorhome allows individuals or families to travel conveniently with their accommodations, making it a popular choice for road trips, camping, and extended vacations. Motorhomes are becoming increasingly popular. It’s like having a mobile vacation or a second home.

I have three dually licensed real estate agents and mortgage loan originators who are the main breadwinners and need to produce. They are 100% commission and if they do not list, sell, or rent a house or commercial property they do not bring home a pay check. The mortgage industry has been no different and bleak. However, the chances are much greater for the dually licensed realtor and mortgage loan officer to concentrate on loan origination rather than real estate sales because they can cover much more distance. A loan officer does not have to drive a customer all over the city to show them a home. Loan officers can work remotely, over the phone, and out of state as long as the loan officers are licensed in the particular state. I know many loan officers purchased leads and SEO programs to no avail. Nothing but a waste of money and time. I have been talking to Viral Website Developers and am very interested in targeting keywords and buying Google Ads or work on blogs or content with the right keywords. Where can I get a list of keywords on government, conventional, and non-QM loans. I would appreciate the GCA technical and seo team if they can guide me the right direction because these folks do not have the money nor the time to get scammed by a fast talking SEO lead generation hustler. Thank you in advance.

I know the difference between mortgage broker and mortgage banker. However, I do not fully understand what a mini-correspondent mortgage lender is. I know NEXA Mortgage is a mortgage broker but the sister company of NEXA which is AXEN Mortgage is a mini-correspondent mortgage lender. From my understanding, if you are part of NEXA Mortgage, you can do both mortgage broker and mortgage banker through its correspondent mortgage division AXEN Mortgage. Thank you in advance.

“Extending professional courtesy” on a traffic stop typically refers to law enforcement officers giving leniency to other officers or individuals in related professions when stopped for traffic violations. This practice is somewhat controversial and varies widely depending on jurisdiction and individual officer discretion. Here are some key points regarding this practice:
What It Involves
- Identification: The stopped individual might identify themselves as a law enforcement officer or related professional, sometimes showing a badge or other form of identification.
- Leniency: The officer conducting the stop might choose to issue a warning instead of a ticket or fine, or let the individual go without any formal action.
Reasons for Extending Courtesy
- Professional Respect: Officers may feel a sense of camaraderie or mutual respect towards fellow officers.
- Understanding of Job Challenges: An appreciation of the stresses and risks associated with law enforcement might lead to more lenient treatment.
- Internal Policies: Some departments might have unwritten policies or cultural norms encouraging such leniency.
Ethical and Legal Considerations
- Fairness: Critics argue that this practice can undermine public trust in law enforcement by creating a perception of bias or unequal treatment under the law.
- Department Policies: Some departments explicitly prohibit extending professional courtesy to ensure all individuals are treated equally.
- Legal Implications: There can be legal risks if leniency leads to subsequent incidents or if it’s viewed as official misconduct.
Examples of Guidelines
- New York City Police Department (NYPD): NYPD has specific guidelines prohibiting officers from extending or accepting professional courtesy to ensure fairness and equality.
- Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD): LAPD policies also emphasize the importance of impartial enforcement of laws, discouraging leniency based on professional connections.
Public Perception and Trust
- Transparency: To maintain public trust, many departments stress the importance of transparency and equal treatment in all enforcement actions.
- Accountability: Ensuring that all officers are held to the same standards as the public can help build community trust and accountability.
While extending professional courtesy is a practice rooted in respect among officers, it faces significant scrutiny due to concerns about fairness and public trust. Law enforcement agencies often strive to balance professional camaraderie with the need to uphold the law impartially. For more detailed information on this topic, you can refer to the guidelines and policies of specific police departments or legal analyses from reputable sources like legal journals and law enforcement ethics publications.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has issued a statement that white people are not invited to Boston Coty Hall Christmas Party or you can say Holiday party. Talk about blatant racism.

How does a biggot like Michelle Wu get elected as Vhief Executive Officer in the city of Boston as Mayor of one of the oldest city of the United States? Here we are impeaching a former President of the United States Donald Trump and we are going to let this racist Michelle Wu run the city of Boston? You be the judge.

Debt-to-income ratios is one of the biggest hurdles in getting approved for a mortgage loan. Not all income counts when it comes to mortgage qualification. Verified and qualified income is the only income that can be used for debt-to-income ratio qualificatin. The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a key financial metric used by lenders to assess a borrower’s ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts. It is particularly important in the context of mortgage loans. The debt-to-income ratio is calculated by dividing the borrower’s total monthly debt payments by their gross monthly income and expressing the result as a percentage.
The formula for calculating the debt-to-income ratio is as follows:
Debt-to-Income Ratio=(Gross Monthly IncomeTotal Monthly Debt Payments)×100
The total monthly debt payments typically include housing-related expenses (such as mortgage payments, property taxes, and homeowners insurance) as well as other debts like car loans, student loans, and credit card payments.
For mortgage loans, lenders often look at two types of debt-to-income ratios:
Front-end ratio (or housing ratio): This ratio includes only housing-related expenses (mortgage, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and sometimes homeowners association fees). Lenders usually prefer this ratio to be below a certain threshold, often around 28% to 31%.
Back-end ratio (or total debt ratio): This ratio includes all monthly debt obligations, not just housing-related expenses. This includes housing expenses along with other debts. Lenders typically have a maximum allowable back-end ratio, often around 36% to 43%, although this can vary.
Different lenders may have slightly different criteria for acceptable debt-to-income ratios, and these ratios can also depend on the type of mortgage and the borrower’s overall financial profile. It’s essential for borrowers to be aware of their debt-to-income ratio and work to keep it within the acceptable range to improve their chances of qualifying for a mortgage loan at favorable terms.

Here are some key facts about Nevada: Nevada is a state located in the western United States. Its capital and largest city is Carson City. Major cities include Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. Nevada is the 7th largest state by area but one of the most sparsely populated. Most of the state’s terrain consists of desert and semi-arid landscapes. It is part of the Mountain West region of the U.S. The Mojave Desert covers much of southern Nevada. Nevada is best known for its gambling, entertainment and tourism industries centered around Las Vegas. Other major industries include mining, logistics, and renewable energy. Notable geographic features include Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park, and Great Basin National Park. Native American tribes have inhabited the area for thousands of years. Nevada became the 36th state admitted to the Union in 1864. Top institutions of higher education include the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of Nevada, Reno. Let me know if you need any other details about the history, culture, economy or attractions in the state of Nevada. Gambling in Nevada: Nevada is famous for its legalized gambling and is considered the gambling capital of the United States. Here are some key points about gambling in Nevada.
Gambling was legalized in Nevada in 1931, when the state passed a law allowing gambling establishments. This move helped bolster Nevada’s economy during the Great Depression.
Las Vegas is the gambling mecca, home to lavish casino-resorts like the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Caesars Palace, and the Venetian. The Las Vegas Strip is an iconic destination for gambling. Reno is another major hub for casinos and gambling, known as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” In addition to slot machines and table games like blackjack, roulette and craps, Nevada casinos offer sports betting, poker rooms, and racebooks for betting on horse races. Nevada’s lenient regulations on gambling have allowed the state’s casinos to experiment with new games and gambling formats over the years. Gambling tax revenues are a critical part of Nevada’s economy and state budget. In fiscal year 2022, gambling taxes provided over $1 billion to state coffers. While Nevada is famous for its mega casino-resorts, there are also many smaller local casinos and gambling halls across the state. Native American tribes have also opened casinos on tribal lands in Nevada in recent decades. So in summary, legalized gambling, pioneered in Nevada, has become a pillar of the state’s identity, economy and tourism draw.

DEATH AND DIGNITY ACT ALLOWS TERMINALLY ILL TO DIE
What is going on with this World 🌎 and especially in America. Human Beings Can NOW Set The Time and Day To Die. Need to read this story about a man setting the time and day of his death in Seattle Washington. The Death with Dignity Act refers to legislation that allows terminally ill adults to receive prescribed medication to end their life in a humane and dignified manner under specific circumstances. How long do you have to live in New Jersey to qualify for Death with Dignity? The answer is six months. The Act defines “terminally ill” as “the terminal stage of an irreversibly fatal illness, disease, or condition with a prognosis, based upon reasonable medical certainty, of a life expectancy of six months or less.
Here are some key points about Death with Dignity laws:
Purpose:
- Provides mentally capable, terminally ill adults the option of requesting a doctor’s prescription for life-ending medication if they meet certain criteria.
- Intended to allow these individuals to die on their own terms with a peaceful death if suffering becomes unbearable.
Common Provisions:
- Patient must be an adult resident of the state with a terminal illness diagnosis of 6 months or less to live.
- Patient must be judged mentally capable and acting voluntarily by two doctors.
- There is typically a waiting period and multiple requests required.
- Doctors, healthcare providers, and institutions can opt out of participating.
States with Death with Dignity Laws:
- Oregon was the first state to pass a Death with Dignity Act in 1997.
- Other states that have since passed similar laws include Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Washington D.C.
Arguments in Favor:
- Provides terminal patients autonomy and relief from suffering at the end of life.
- Death with dignity is a personal choice for mentally sound individuals.
- Laws have safeguards and requirements meant to prevent abuse or coercion.
Arguments Against:
- Devalues human life and could lead to coercing people to end their lives prematurely.
- Possibility of wrongful terminal diagnoses or lack of available treatment options.
- Concern that vulnerable groups like the poor or disabled may feel pressured to choose death.
Debate continues around expanding or restricting such laws based on ethical, moral, and legal considerations in different states and countries.

Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is in hot water. What comes around goes around. Her mission in life was to get Trump indicted, arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced and incarcerated for a very long time. Now the ball has turned against the Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis. Success is the best revenge. Seems whatever Fani Willis wished on Former President Donald Trump is backfiring where she may have committed crimes and may be a defendant in the coming weeks.

Does anyone do manufactured new construction home loans where they finance the acquisition of the land and the purchase price of the modular or manufacturer home from the manufacturer. Is is FHA, VA, USDA, or conventional loans? Or is it non-QM manufactured home loans? Alot of these manufacturer homes are better than stick built homes.
