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.

The mortgage and real estate markets have fluctuated due to inflation, job statistics, foreclosure, and home prices, all notable developments considering the rising mortgage rates. Here’s the recent trend. The article will also provide information on the ever-changing but somehow related business economics.
Mortgage Rates
30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgages:
- According to the most current statistics.
- The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased to 6.85%, which has been the highest recorded since mid-July.
- The percentage was 6.72% last week, compared to 6.61% recorded a year ago.
- This is a clear sign of raised bond yields banks use to sell home loans.
15-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgages:
- Closed at 6%, up from 5.92% recorded the previous week.
Employment and Job Losses
In considering the labor force, indicators highlight its potential decay due to students’ inability to find summer jobs, resulting in aggravated unemployment reaching 6.4%.
Inflation
The growing economic debate on whether federal banks should pay particular regard to inflation is apparent, especially considering the recent US statistics indicating inflation is growing to 3.2% annually.
It is projected to keep increasing, impacting mortgage rates and the overall economic spectrum.
Foreclosure Rates
There are no seasonal statistics or trends regarding foreclosures at present. However, the growing interest and inflationary rates can complementarily lead to further foreclosure activity, as people who need to deal with further economic stresses alongside rising home loan interest rates may find themselves unable to cope and eventually file for bankruptcy.
Home Prices
Despite the hike in mortgage rates, home prices remained steady. Due to high demand and low housing inventory, the price of homes in the United States is predicted to increase by 5% this year, higher than the previous prediction of 1.9%.
In the UK, it is estimated that house prices will increase by 1.9%, bringing the average value of a house to £267,500. The increase in market activity is expected to impact the housing market positively.
Factors Influencing the Market
Bond Yields Increased bond yields are the reason mortgage rates are increasing. This affects the low number of homebuyers.
Federal Reserve Policies Other policies cut rates to improve affordability, but in contrast, the rate cuts resulted in increased mortgage rates. This is because the 10-year Treasury bonds have increased yields, which wreaked havoc on mortgage rates.
Housing Inventory
Even with the increased mortgage rates, there is a limited number of houses, which keeps the prices of the homes steady. Owners with low mortgage rates are reluctant to sell their houses, contributing to the low supply.
Implications for Homebuyers and Homeowners
Affordability Challenges Due to the increased price of homes and mortgage rates, the supply of houses has greatly diminished, which has resulted in many unfavorable implications, such as a decrease in mortgage applications.
Increased Costs
The property tax rate has historically been low, around 32% in recent years. Still, as of 2014, mortgage rates and insurance expenses have virtually skyrocketed.
The increased mortgage rates, inflation, and economic instability make it almost impossible for potential buyers and homeowners to afford their properties. With the market as fuzzy as it is, it’s worth getting advice from an expert and staying updated with the latest economic information.

I must have called over two dozen state mortgage licensing agencies in the past week and I am getting nothing but the runaround. I also called Mortgage Educators and other NMLS mortgage licensing schools and still cannot get the answer I am looking for. The mortgage industry and regulators are making a huge deal about not being able to get an NMLS mortgage loan originator license if you have bad credit. They are saying if you are late on your payments or have derogatory information on your personal credit profile you are classified as being financially irresponsible and not fit to become a mortgage loan originator. People can go through bad times, divorce, medical, or times of unemployment where you can have bad credit without being financially irresponsible. Now my question is can you get a mortgage loan orignator license with bad credit, collections, and late payments? Thank you in advance.

How to calculate your credit card utilization.
Balance Owed ÷ Credit Limit × 100 = %
2 IMPORTANT DATES (Due Date & Statement Date)
Due Date-The date it MUST be paid to avoid any late fees.
Statement Date-This is the date they will REPORT to the credit bureaus. Why is this date so important?! Whatever balance is reported on this date is what they will report to the credit bureaus. Make sure your balances are LOW (3%-8%) about three days before the statement date. Remember, statements dates can change because they are on a cycle (29 day, 30 day etc. ). Be sure to check your statement for your current statement date

The Number of Store Closures in the Retail Sector Peaks in 2024
The United States suffered a major blow, which shifted the focus to closing retail stores throughout the year. This is because of the weakest recession in history, as many eye chains announced the closure of many retail locations.

- Big Lots with 580.
- Walgreens with 259.
Big Lots intends to close 963 stores after Nexus Capital Management LP ended the deal. Building upon its strategy of shutting down 900 stores by the end of 2024, CVS is left unfazed.

Buy Baby is no longer in business because it has decided to adopt a digital-first approach along with the plethora of store closures. Family Dollar has also made a statement indicating considerable financial difficulties after its acquisition by Dollar Tree in 2015.

Smith of the UnitedHealth Group was wary after the deal’s announcement as it could very well trigger Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
