Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu delivers his annual policy address at the Legislative Council on Oct. 16, 2024, in Hong Kong. Hong Kong chief executive John Lee announced moves aimed at addressing the city's housing affordability crisis, calling it "an issue of great public concern" in an annual policy address on Wednesday. Under the plan, the Hong Kong Housing Authority will allocate an extra ballot number to applicants aged below 40 — a move that will increase their chances of being selected for the city's subsidized Home Ownership Scheme flats. He also said the government expects to complete about 9,500 new public housing units next year, moving toward a goal of completing about 30,000 units by 2027-2028. The current wait time for a public housing unit in Hong Kong is 5.5 years.

☆ Weekly mortgage demand tanks 17%, after interest rates hit the highest level since August
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Mortgage interest rates rose last week for the third straight week, hitting the highest level since August. Total mortgage application volume fell 17% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. Refinance demand, which is most sensitive to weekly rate moves, fell the hardest, down 26% week-to-week. Applications for a mortgage to purchase a home fell 7% for the week but were 7% higher than the same week one year ago. The recent rise in mortgage rates may have slowed the resurgence in refinancing, but homebuyers may be less concerned about interest rates today and more concerned about the shape of the economy in the coming months.

☆ NYC's short-term rental ban slashed Airbnb listings. A year later, it's unclear if it's made housing more affordable.

While the number of short-term rentals has plummeted, the effect on the housing market is unclear.

In September 2023, NYC began enforcing new regulations — known as Local Law 18 or LL18 — that severely restricted short-term rentals.

They disagree, however, about whether Ms. Harris’s plan would actually do that. (Economists also agree that former President Donald J. Trump’s housing plan, which aims to free up housing by deporting immigrants, would probably make the housing crisis worse by devastating the construction work force).

Jorge Argota, 35, runs his own digital marketing agency in Miami and made about $120,000 last year. For me, renting an apartment in Miami is more affordable than buying a nice house with a $3,000 or $4,000 mortgage. Argota and his brother pay $2,300 a month for a two-bedroom in this Miami apartment complex. I've also had many friends who have had to move further north in Florida because it's impossible for them to pay rent or buy a home in Miami. So, if I can't buy a house in Miami, I might consider moving to another state.

CNN —Kamala Harris is responding to Democratic panic about her White House prospects by turning up the heat on Donald Trump. The vice president warned Monday that the ex-president was “unstable,” “unhinged” and out for “unchecked power” as she sent a jolt of urgency though her campaign with 21 days to go. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, meanwhile, went even further, suggesting the ex-president’s musings about using the military against domestic foes he branded “the enemy from within” could even amount to treason. An image of former President Donald Trump appears on screen as Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on October 14, 2024. Trump sought to make inroads with young men who are often low-propensity voters but who could add to his coalition.

☆ How a rare type of mortgage is landing homebuyers a 3% rate
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-15 | by ( Devan Burris | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

As mortgage rates stagnate around 6%, prospective homebuyers are feeling nostalgic for the 3% interest rates of 2020 and 2021. Google search results for the term "assumable mortgage" spiked in May, following a steady upward trend starting in 2022. Mortgage assumptions allow buyers to take over an existing mortgage at its current rate, possibly securing mortgage rates as low as 2% or 3% depending on when the original mortgage was taken out. Mortgage assumptions were a popular way to buy a house in the 1970s and 1980s but have largely fallen out of public consciousness. Watch the video above to learn more about assumable mortgages, how they work, and why they can come with their own set of hurdles.

AdvertisementAfter years of rapidly skyrocketing home values, falling prices might sound like a breath of fresh air to those looking to buy a home. Home price declines can lead to a surge in underwater mortgages, or when the amount owed on a home loan exceeds the home's value. ATTOM defines a seriously underwater mortgage as a home with a loan-to-value ratio of 125% or above. Homeowners with underwater mortgages can get relief if the housing market stabilizes and their home values increase. Below are the top ten states with the largest proportion of seriously underwater mortgages in the second quarter of 2024.
