Market levels off

Article Abstract:

The financial markets in 1995 have not been stable even when economic indicators showed healthy signs. Mortgage and interest rates have dropped and climbed several times appearing to be inconsistent with the stability of the economy in general. The volatility of interest rates affected the production and sales figures in the housing industry since it is the most interest-rate sensitive sector. The uncertainty in mortgage rates makes forecasting in the mortgage market more difficult.

National house-price appreciation strong in 1995 despite fourth-quarter slowdown

Article Abstract:

The appreciation of house prices in 1995 declined from an annualized rate of 6.1% to 4.3%. Still, the house-price appreciation in the fourth quarter of 1995 was more than five times the rate of appreciation in 1994. This increase was due to the sudden decline in mortgage rates that fueled demand. The Mountain census division showed the highest rate of appreciation at 7.3% and was lowest in the East South Central.
