The weekly market update
One email a week that tells you what the market is doing to your business
Mortgage rates, foreclosure numbers, prices and rents, and the economy in plain English — sourced, dated, and written for owners rather than traders.
What you get
Five sections, no filler
- Mortgage rates and what they mean — 30-year and 15-year moves, plus who they help and who they hurt this week.
- Foreclosure numbers — filings and starts, and the homeowner options that actually apply right now.
- The economy, in plain English — inflation, jobs, and what the Fed is signaling, without the jargon.
- Retail and real-estate signals — traffic, rent trends, and lending conditions small operators should watch.
- One action for the week — a single, specific move to make or question to ask.

Questions
Before you subscribe
How often is it sent?
Once a week, Monday morning. If there's nothing material to report, we say so rather than padding it.
Where do the numbers come from?
Primary sources only — Freddie Mac's weekly survey, ATTOM foreclosure data, the California Association of Realtors, and federal releases. Every figure is dated and attributed.
Will you sell my email?
No. One-click unsubscribe in every email, and your address never leaves the mailing list.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's market information and our reading of it, for general informational purposes.
