What\u2019s happening? <\/b>Last week, we found the <\/span>hottest neighborhoods<\/span><\/a> in the U.S. This week: <\/span>Iowa<\/span><\/a> (where <\/span>mortgage fraud<\/span><\/a> is no big thang), <\/span>The Game<\/span><\/a>, and news on job creation. Finally: What\u2019s worth more, Apple (the company) or Seattle (the city)?<\/span>
\nCan\u2019t get a mortgage?<\/b> Tight credit prevented some <\/span>5.2 million<\/span><\/a> households from getting a home loan between 2009 and 2014. The Urban Institute says credit is harder to get now than it was in 2001, before things got frothy, thanks in part to regulation and plain-old fear.<\/span>
\nCan\u2019t get a credit card?<\/b> Same thing. Researchers at the <\/span>American Action Forum<\/span><\/a> blame bank regulation in particular.<\/span>
\nGaah! Bedbugs!<\/b> They haven\u2019t gone away. Detroit and Philadelphia top the list of <\/span>worst cities<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\nQuick, what\u2019s compounding?<\/b> How about amortization? If you don\u2019t know, it might be because no one taught you. The Council for Economic Education has details in its <\/span>latest report<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\nNYC goes green.<\/b> Under a new law, builders will have to tap into <\/span>geothermal<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>
\nBad-guy roundup, yee-hah! <\/b>Rental scammers<\/span><\/a> nabbed in Florida. \u00a0<\/span>
\nWant to be mortgage-free?<\/b> Move to <\/span>Cleveland<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>
\nWhat are they griping about now? <\/b>Credit reports, debt collectors and mortgages, which accounted for 68 percent of <\/span>complaints<\/span><\/a> submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in December. <\/span>
\nHome values<\/b>. A lot of people track home values (S&P Case-Shiller, the <\/span>Federal Housing Finance Administration<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Redfin<\/span><\/a>). So far, prices haven\u2019t returned to their peak, but we\u2019re inching closer. The <\/span>latest estimate<\/span><\/a> from Black Knight Financial Services says we\u2019re about 5 percent off.<\/span>
\nSell the house, buy Disney<\/b>. If you sold all the housing in <\/span>Seattle<\/span><\/a>, you could buy Apple (the whole company). Sell the homes in Indianapolis and you could pick up IBM. And if you sold all of Orlando\u2019s houses, you could go to Disney World forever. Joe Cortright puts the <\/span>cost of housing<\/span><\/a> in perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
