DID YOU KNOW?

December 09, 2018 in News

DID YOU KNOW? U.S. consumer spending increased by the most in 7 months in October. (Reuters)

DID YOU KNOW? Millennial spending habits are a lot like the generations that came before them, they just have less money at this point in their lives. The group born between 1981 and 1997 has fallen behind because many of them came of age during the financial crisis. (Business Insider)

DID YOU KNOW?  The Fed is expected to raise interest rates a fourth time this year in December, but stated it would be ‘flexible’ on plans to raise rates. (CNN)

DID YOU KNOW? The Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Federal Reserve have proposed loosening real-estate appraisal requirements to enable a majority of U.S. homes to be bought and sold without being evaluated by a licensed human appraiser, potentially opening the door for cheaper, faster, untested property valuations based on computer algorithms. It would increase to $400,000, from $250,000, the value of homes that can be bought and sold without a human appraiser visiting a property. (WSJ)
