| The real estate market in the US continues its growth. Here is some hot-off-the-press news for you. October New Home Sales soared 41.5% over a year ago and 29.1% above their pre-pandemic high. Builders are well-motivated when supply is below 4.3 months and it’s now at 3.3! Conforming loan limits for mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will go up to $548,250 in 2021–and up to $822,375 in high-cost areas, plus Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and U.S. Virgin Islands. Only 18 counties stay at 2020 limits. Black Knight reports a record 19.4 million “high quality” homeowners could refinance and save an average of $309 a month, with 4.2 million saving at least $400 a month, and 2.7 million $500 a month or more!
