WEEKLY MARKET ACTIVITY REPORT
"As Millennials get older and more established in their careers, more of them are entering the housing market. Nationwide sales rose to the third-highest level since the housing crisis a decade ago, while home prices also hit record highs. Although increasing prices may push some out of the running for a home purchase, mortgage rates remain low enough to lure potential buyers." | MORE
