Weekly Housing Market Activity Report
For Week Ending December 8, 2018
Publish Date: December 17, 2018 • All comparisons are to 2017
estate, as thoughts shift from buying homes to buying gifts and plane tickets to visit
family and friends. This year could be different. The Federal Reserve is set to raise
interest rates one more time in 2018. Interest rate hikes don't necessarily create
mortgage rate hikes, but they can. This may cause more purchase offers ahead of
deeper affordability concerns in 2019.
