http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  New Homes Sales dropped by 6.6% in June to 676k seasonally adjusted annualized units.  This is also on the heels of a lower revision to May's numbers, which dropped from the initial 769k to 724k.  Stocks are Mixed today, as they look ahead in the week, as the Fed will begin their 2 day meeting tomorrow and we'll have some members of the FAANG releasing their Q2 Earnings reports this week, including Tesla's being released after hours today.  NASDAQ is the lone index in Red, as US and China's relationship become a bit more contentious.  MBS started the morning a little higher, but it slipped back down to Unchanged levels, so Mortgage Rates remain unchanged from Friday's closing.  Yields were similar, as they remain under the 1.29% ceiling and currently ...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Today, we have IHS Markit PMI releasing their 2 reports, Manufacturing and Services.  The Services sector dropped down to 59.7; however, the Manufacturing sector rose to 63.1 in July.  Stocks continue their upward trend, based on Q2 Corporate Earnings Reports and keeping an eye toward next week's schedule of events (Q2 Earnings Reports for much of the High Tech Companies and FOMC).  MBS started the morning much lower, which Lenders whom release their ratesheets earlier on may have priced for the worse; however, MBS is Up 6bps.  So, Mortgage Rates should be priced now to the same pricing we found after yesterday's close.  Meanwhile, Yields are sticking around the 1.29%.Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel at MikesDailyMarketRptAlso, these videos are ...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The Initial Jobless Claims spiked last week to 419k (breaking back above the 400k level).  The good news is the Continued Claims dropped slightly.  NAR reported that Existing Home Sales increased from 5.78 million annualized units in May to 5.86 million in June.  Lastly, the Leading Indicators shows a 0.7% improvement for the month of June.  Stocks continue to rise today on continued strong Q2 Corporate Earnings releases.  MBS and Yields got a boost from the ECB's announcement today, which was very dovish and Bond friendly.  MBS is Up 19bps, which brings us back to same levels on Monday/Tuesday; whereas, Mortgage Rates improved back to those same levels.  Yields slid down to 1.26%, which is still a little higher than Monday/Tuesday levels.Please subsc...

A Realtor works for Free right up to the time there is a successful closing of the sale of the home.  Time, knowledge, training, laws, property and community information as well as calls, text, emails are all exchanged with their clients for free. Many professional Realtors feel that the best solution is a Buyers Broker Agreement that requires a client to work with them for the length of the binding agreement.  There is a reason that I have never used this agreement in my thirty-five-year career.  The reason is that I put myself in the client's shoes.  Let's say I moving to New York City form Los Angeles, California.  I have no clue as to the best neighborhoods, schools, safety, future investment and I find a Realtor to represent me on a purchase.  Let's say that I do sign a Buyer Broke...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  There are no economic data to report today.  Stocks are continuing upward trend on more good Q2 Earnings Reports.  The ECB announced a bit of a dovish signal on their stance with inflation, which sounds similar to that of our Fed's current stance.  This set a tone for the Bond/Treasury Market.  MBS is currently Down 19bps, as Mortgage Rates worsen a bit today.  Yields jumped Up to 1.29%.Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel at MikesDailyMarketRptAlso, these videos are base on my views and not represented by any other entity, but my own.  I work as a Loan Officer, and if you'd like information on Mortgages, or how I can assist you, then please direct message me.

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Housing Starts increased from (lower revision) of 1.546 million annualized units in May to 1.643 million, or up 6.3%, in June.  However, Building Permits declined by 5.1%, from 1.683 million annualized units in May to 1.598 million in June.  These, of course, are future Housing Starts.  We have seen a little bit of a pullback in Home Builders sentiment recently, so this isn't too surprising.  Stocks are rebounding after yesterday's big selloff.  Investors are buying back in, as sentiment is Monday's actions were a bit overblown.  MBS are off it's earlier highs, which better pricing was very short-lived.  Mortgage Rates are currently Unchanged from yesterday's close.  We're also seeing signs of a possible trend reversal, as candlesticks show some uncer...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The NAHB Home Builder Sentiment dropped one point to 80 for June.  This index gauges the confidence with Home Builders.  This week will mostly be about housing data.  Stocks are WAY Down today (comparable to last October).  Investors are concerned that the Markets may have Peaked and the rising Delta variant cases globally.  Along with that, Investors are watching tensions rise between the US and China.  MBS Is Up 31bps, as Mortgage Rates improve from Friday's close.  Yields plunged all the way down to just under 1.19%.Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel at MikesDailyMarketRptAlso, these videos are base on my views and not represented by any other entity, but my own.  I work as a Loan Officer, and if you'd like information on Mortgages, or how I ca...

Palos Verdes View Point - Alternative! View of Homes up the Hill on the Palos Verdes PeninsulaYou may know we moved our mom over to Rancho Palos Verdes - she wanted to go! So today's walk of the dogs took us around a loop to the corner of Beachview Dr and Seahill Dr. This video shows the lovely views and also is a chance to talk about how some homes here have lots of open space around them, and others are more master-planned with uniformity of home facades. Then the view from Terranea Resort east, and last to the ocean!

A Beverly  Hills International Realtor in action: check it out!The international buyer and seller is highly active in Beverly Hills and the surrounding vicinity;  a successful realtor knows that it is important  to reach out to them and work with them.As an example,  I am currently in escrow with a seller who lives in London, one who is in Italy, and one  who lives in  Budapest, Hungary. Next week, I am closing on an escrow with a  buyer who lives in Canada. Last week, I was negotiating a property where the buyer is from Taiwan. Needless to say,  these are all vacant lots spanning the greater Los Angeles area.My best advice to potential buyers and sellers who do not live in the U.S. is that they find a seasoned Realtor who understands their wants and needs and can guide them to a succes...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The Philly Fed dropped from 30.7 in June to 21.9 in July.  This is still a great number; however, the size of the drop is a bit alarming.  Jobless Claims continue to improve, as 360k applied for first time benefits last week.  This is a new low, not seen since last March.  Also, we're seeing improvement with Continued Claims, as more people are going back to work.  The Empire State Index rose to an all time high in July, as it jumped from 17.4 in June to 43.0 in July.  Lastly, Industrial Productions came in below estimates (0.6%) in June at 0.4%.  We're still receiving Q2 Earnings Reports, but they're not having as big of an impact today with stocks, as Fed Chair Powell's 2nd day of testimony (this time with the Senate Banking Committee).  Stocks are ...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Both the Producer Price Index headline number (PPI) and it's Core PPI (excludes food and energy) rose 1.0% MoM in June.  The Core PPI is now up to 5.6% YoY, which brings us to inflationary levels last seen in 2008 when price of a barrel of oil reached all time highs of $150/barrel.  Stocks are back in Positive Territory after yesterday's losses.  We will receive more Q2 Corporate Earnings Reports today; and Fed Chair Powell has testified before the House Finance Committee today.  Nothing has changed, but the Investors like hearing the message repeated.  MBS is regaining it's losses yesterday; and is Up 16bps thus far.  Yesterday, after the disappointing 30 year Bond Auction, the Market reversed and dropped.  Lenders repriced for the worse yesterday; h...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Nothing really on the Economic Calendar; however, there are some Treasury Auctions this morning (3yr and 10yr).  The 3yr didn't go as well as hoped and did negatively affect the Markets (usually it doesn't impact); and the 10yr came in rather decent, which wiped out the negative movement caused by the 3yr.  Stocks are Mixed today, as NASDAQ is the lone index in the Red.  Investors are primarily looking ahead for this week's data.  This week, we have the beginning of Q2 Corporate Earnings Reports, Fed Chair Powell's semi-annual Testimony and a new look at Inflation data (CPI and PPI).  The G20 is going on with Finance Ministers meeting to discuss a Global Tax.  The Global Tax is for Multi-National Corporations whom position themselves to avoid paying t...
