Mortgage rates rose again last week, pulling demand from both the refinance and purchase markets. Total mortgage application volume dropped 10.8% compared to the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. Applications for a mortgage to purchase a home decreased 5% for the week and were just 2% higher than the same week one year ago. Mortgage rates, however, are pricing some buyers out again, and concern over the economy and the election may have some sitting on the sidelines right now. Mortgage rates were essentially flat to start this week, and whatever the results, or nonresults of the election, will surely play into recent volatility.

However, a debt consolidation loan isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, says CFP Uziel Gomez. While I try to avoid carrying high-interest debt and aim to pay my credit card balance in full each month, as a financial coach, people often come to me feeling overwhelmed and wanting help with looming credit card debt. Sometimes, a debt consolidation loan can help, but it's not always the answer. If someone isn't ready for debt consolidation, Gomez recommends whittling away at your credit card payments using either the snowball or avalanche debt payoff method. You haven't established good habitsIf you haven't established good habits to keep your credit card spending to a minimum, it's probably best not to consider a credit card debt consolidation loan or balance transfer card.

Kevin Lamarque | ReutersTensions are likely running high in Kyiv ahead of Tuesday's presidential election in the U.S. — a vote that could make or break ongoing aid for Ukraine. Officials in Kyiv say the election is being watched closely, amid concerns that future aid could be cut. In the week before the presidential election, Western officials were reported as saying that a Harris administration would likely struggle to push significant aid for Ukraine through Congress. A win by Donald Trump could see him placing a phone call to Russian President Vladimir Putin as early as 6 November.

In 2017, Detroit-native Vincent Orr was working as a production supervisor at Chrysler, when he kept seeing and hearing advertisements for The Detroit Land Bank Authority. Orr bought the property right next to his mother's for $1,200 — it had been abandoned for about a decade. And as if two properties weren't enough, Orr bought a third on the north side of his original abandoned home for just $100. And for anyone looking to take advantage of an auction process like the one the Detroit Land Bank Authority offers, Orr's advice is to not overthink it. Vincent Orr

Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said he would cut student debt by 20% next year. AdvertisementThe Australian government on Sunday announced a sweeping plan to forgive 20% of student debt for around 3 million Australians. The debt relief is designed to promote "intergenerational equity," Albanese told Australian Broadcasting Radio on Monday, according to Bloomberg. AdvertisementHowever, Biden's efforts to grant broad student loan relief have hit several stumbling blocks. Biden's Education Department is continuing to work on debt relief proposals; if finalized, the latest one would benefit 8 million borrowers facing hardship.

Like first-time buyers, the typical repeat buyer has gotten older, with their median age increasing to 61 years from 58 last year. Repeat buyers’ median household income rose to $114,300 from $111,700 in the last year, as well, according to the NAR. First-time homebuyers may have trouble competing with repeat buyers, who could possibly have sold an existing home to purchase a new one. Repeat buyers were able to enter the housing market with much larger down payments (median 23%) than first-time homebuyers (median 9%). Thirty-one percent of repeat buyers paid all cash for their homes.

But, in hindsight, I wish I'd dropped out just to save myself on my now-mounting debt. Since then, nobody has asked me about my college degree. AdvertisementI believe my best — and safest — bet would have been to switch to an online degree when the pandemic first hit. It just goes to show that sometimes, a bit of risk-taking can pay off; I wish I'd been bolder. I'll definitely chalk up my university experience as "You live, and you learn" territory; I still really enjoyed aspects of my college experience.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Sunday that his government planned to cut student loans for around three million Australians by 20%, wiping off around 16 billion Australian dollars ($10 billion) in debts. The move builds on May's budget, which attacked cost of living pressures in Australia and gave debt relief for students, as well as more investment to make medicines cheaper, and a boost to a rent assistance program. "This will help everyone with a student debt right now, whilst we work hard to deliver a better deal for every student in the years ahead," Albanese said in a statement announcing the cut to student loans for tertiary education. The changes would mean the average graduate with a loan of AU$27,600 would have AU$5,520 wiped, the government said, adding that they would take effect from June 1, 2025.

Neither former President Trump nor VP Kamala Harris would be able to act on them imminently. Despite its inability to provide broad cancellation, Biden's Education Department has issued targeted relief that has given nearly 5 million borrowers debt cancellation to date. Constance, 65, has nearly $200,000 in student debt, an amount that's ballooned since she graduated from law school in 1994. "I would expect continued improvements and limited expansions of debt relief where legally possible under a Harris-Walz administration," Partridge said. Regardless of who wins the election, legal challenges to debt relief will keep borrowers in limbo.

"We've waived the remaining balance on your private student loan in the amount of $31,730.76," the Aug. 29 letter said, in part. Rebecca Finch Courtesy: Rebecca FinchBut the road to that relief was long, confusing and intensely stressful, said Rebecca's daughter, Sabrina Finch. Originally, Sabrina was the primary borrower of the Navient private student loan, and her mother, Rebecca, was the co-signer. In May, Navient excused Sabrina from her private student loan. But there's no question it's incredibly difficult for co-signers to be forgiven from a private student loan, consumer advocates say.

Next week's presidential election could have a big impact on municipal bonds, according to Morgan Stanley. In that case, the federal tax exemption becomes worth more, said Dan Close, head of municipals at Nuveen. However, studies have shown a move of just a couple percentage points "doesn't really move the needle" for muni demand, Brandon said. The TCJA increased the AMT exemption and raised the income level at which the exemption would phase out. That's because banks and insurance companies in the U.S. own about a quarter of all outstanding muni bonds, he explained.

When you view your credit score, you're likely to see a different three-digit number depending on whether you checked your score online, on your banking app or via another means. Although you have multiple credit scores, they're mainly calculated by two companies: VantageScore and FICO, which are the two main credit scoring systems used by the majority of lenders to evaluate how well you're managing your credit. "Think of those like Coke and Pepsi," John Ulzheimer, a credit expert who formerly worked for FICO and Experian, tells CNBC Make it. And your credit history needs to be at least six months long in order for FICO to generate your score. Although FICO scores are also used by lenders when you apply for credit, a mortgage or an auto loan, FICO weighs the factors it uses to calculate its credit scores differently.

A new regulatory rule finalized this month by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau aims to reduce that hassle and make it easier, more secure and always free for customers to switch accounts or to simply transfer or share their financial data from their banks, credit card issuers and other financial service providers upon request. “The problem the CFPB (rule) is addressing is the paperwork required of consumers to change accounts. Financial providers must make this information available without charging fees.”The rule will also restrict how third parties may use and retain the data consumers request be shared. Banks push backThe banking industry wasted no time in expressing its displeasure with the new rule — known as the personal financial data rights rule. “Dodd-Frank only requires banks to provide financial data to consumers.
