Interest rates are going up again as the economy gets hotter.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday lifted its benchmark rate by a quarter of a percentage point, the second hike this year, according to CNN Money.

And a majority of policy makers said they now expect a total of four interest rate increases this year. Fed officials had been split about whether to raise rates three times this year or four.

The decision reflected an economy that's getting even stronger. Unemployment is 3.8%, the lowest since 2000, and inflation is creeping higher. The Fed is raising rates gradually to keep the economy from overheating.

"The main takeaway is that the economy is doing very well," Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said at a news conference. "Most people who…

New builds, spacious rooms and plenty of privacy are the top must-haves for aspiring homeowneR

You might be surprised to hear the average "dream house" isn't the shining 10 bedroom mansion you're picturing, but rather a modern and comfortable, 2,000 square foot, home in the suburbs.

According to a survey conducted by Digital Third Coast, 75 percent of Americans believe homeownership isn’t necessary to “live a good life.” But that doesn’t stop them from dreaming about their perfect pad.

Sixty percent of respondents said they’d prefer a new build that’s a little more than 2,000 square feet, which leaves plenty of room to entertain guests in a family room — the space that’s most likely to be used (according to 46 percent of respondents).

When…

The market's hot. Who wouldn't want to want to cash out and find something new?

More recently, lots of people. Homeowners are more and more likely to stay and invest in home improvements rather than selling. 

There is an appeal in knowing that you are sitting on a home with high value, and there are benefits to living in a remodeled home. 

It’s a trend that has played out with increasing frequency not only in the metro area, but across the country and especially in the western U.S. Homeowners undertook more home projects in the period of February 2016-17 than in the previous year, and spent about $1,850 more, on average, according to HomeAdvisor’s 2017 True Cost survey.

There’s also a generational dynamic at work: baby boomers led the…

Homeowners gained an average of $15,000 in home equity last year, totaling $908 billion, according to CNBC. 

A sharp rise in home values last year gave homeowners a strong infusion of cash, in the form of home equity. It also helped more than half a million borrowers rise above water on their mortgages.

All real estate is, of course, local, and some homeowners saw significantly bigger gains than others, especially those in the Western region of the nation. Overall, however, they gained the most equity of any year since 2013.

Homeowners with a mortgage, representing about 63 percent of all properties, saw their equity increase 12 percent over the course of last year, according to CoreLogic. That comes to an average of $15,000 per homeowner and…
