In a move that surprised just about everyone, the Fed announced last week no change in their bond-buying program, known as QE-3. Home loan rates dropped significantly as a result.
The Consumer Price Index for August revealed that inflation remains tame, and at 1.5% remains well below the Fed’s target of 2%.
In housing news, the KCRAR market report for August shows home sales dipped slightly from July, but were 8% higher compared to August, 2012.
The HBA reported a slight dip in building permits, but August figures are the third highest monthly score for 2013.
