Hedge Funds and Real Estate: Could it Create Another Bubble?

From August 2014 to August 2015, there was a rise in national home prices of 4.7%, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index. From August 2013 to August 2015, the index showed an increase of 10% in national home prices. While these increases in home prices are somewhat high, there have been many periods in the history of the United States when the annual increases in home prices nationwide were much higher.

U.S. Housing Can Withstand a Rise in Interest Rates

Will The Fed 'Shock' Housing With Rate Hike?

The housing market has been in a long, slow recovery, and the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates near zero for about seven years. Both dynamics, however, could be about to change. With the central bank all but certain to begin withdrawing some of its massive stimulus within the coming months, the recovering housing sector could be in for a change.

Home renovations that add value — and a heftier tax bill

Homeowners aren’t usually thinking about their future tax bills when they embark on a remodeling project. But they’d be smart to at least give them a second thought. That’s because renovations can significantly raise a home’s value, which can increase the amount for which it is assessed. Assessed value is used to determine your property tax.
