I head to Central Texas today (A53 on Southwest; something about maybe seeing an eclipse); statewide Texas home ownership rate is about 64 percent. This is a shade lower than the 66 percent nationwide. (Home ownership & operational challenges facing lenders are a couple of the topics Mike Metz with Arizona’s V.I.P. Mortgage will discuss today at 2PM CT.) And a huge percentage of those homeowners have low fixed rates. People can be “locked-in” or constrained in their ability to make appropriate financial changes, such as being unable to move homes or sell assets due to tax burdens. In the U.S., nearly all 50 million active mortgages have fixed rates, and most have interest rates far below prevailing market rates, creating a disincentive to sell. These frictions, whether institutional, legislative, personal, or market-driven, are a real problem. The FHFA, Fannie & Freddie’s conservator, has a research piece on this since residential real estate exemplifies this challenge with its physical immobility, high transaction costs, and concentrated wealth.

New documentary examines steel industry comeback in Cleveland

In Ohio, steel industry jobs are returning as high-tech professions attracting a diverse workforce.
