With the holiday season coming to a conclusion, there was little in the way of data releases. Last week, the main reports were the Chicago Business Barometer and the ISM Manufacturing Index, both indicating a slight contraction in the manufacturing sector. This comes as we await the upcoming administration change at the White House. The impact of this is relatively minimal, with lending rates continuing their downward trend. Next week we will be expecting the year-over-year for both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI), wrapping up 2024.
As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time to focus on understanding and improving your credit score. Whether you’re planning to buy a home, refinance, or simply enhance your financial health, your credit score plays a pivotal role in shaping your opportunities.
When you’re looking to purchase a home or refinance an existing mortgage, understanding how mortgage rates are determined is key to navigating your financial journey. These rates are influenced by a combination of personal financial factors and broader economic conditions, which work together to impact how much you’ll pay over the life of your loan.
As we step into 2025, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my clients and those considering the journey to homeownership.
As we approach the end of this year, we can’t help but reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had together with all of you. This year has been filled with growth, new opportunities, and the realization of long-held dreams, whether it’s buying a new home, refinancing to secure a better rate, or exploring the best mortgage options available. We are honored to have played a part in helping so many of you achieve your homeownership goals.
With Christmas concluding the prior week, there were few reports other than Consumer Confidence, which had come in slightly below expectations. This should prove to have little impact, especially in the following week. With the New Year on the horizon, there are no reports other than the Chicago Manufacturing output report for the entire week. Happy Holidays!
