Welcome to 2018 and Happy New Year!

What a fantastic year we had in housing for 2017 (unless you were a buyer). Interest rates stayed low (then began to rise toward the end), home prices broke record for many major markets (but according to CoreLogic, many are overvalued), and the mortgage industry had a good year in spite of lower refinance activities (however, profit margins are narrowing)…So, it was a good housing year, but not without many caveats.
