Things have settled into an uneasy calm, but brace for more uncertainty as we get news on company profits and the global economy. Yesterday, investors anticipating bleak earnings reports\u00a0helped push the S&amp;P 500 down nearly 0.3 percent.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Housing is weathering the storm, with some exceptions. In a March <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/q1-2016-redfin-agent-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey<\/a>, about one in five Redfin agents said the volatile stock market has affected homebuyers as their investment portfolios &#8212; and their resolve &#8212; take a hit.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\">In high-end cities such as Seattle and San Francisco, well-to-do tech workers compensated with stock shares or options are feeling the pain. Some have given up searching for now, Redfin agents said.<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In luxury and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/for-sale-shortage-hits-the-beach-and-vacation-home-prices-soar.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">resort<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> markets, there are reports of cash buyers being forced to borrow. Some are reluctant to bid up prices or pay a premium. Others have abandoned deals at the 11th hour.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cVolatility in the stock market has led to an uneasy feeling for many clients and has buyers waffling over purchase decisions,\u201d Redfin agent Paul Reid said. In the Los Angeles bedroom communities of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/15935\/CA\/Riverside\">Inland Empire<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, things are picking up but buyers remain hesitant.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Competition, rate-hike fears, stock <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">volatility and limited inventory have buyers just a little unsure of themselves,\u201d Reid said.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-47164\" class=\"align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SP-daily-1.png\" alt=\"stock market\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-47136\" class=\"align-center\"><figcaption>Source: S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices S&amp;P 500; Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s been a wild ride for sure. On Jan. 20, the <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/q?s=%5EGSPC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S&amp;P 500<\/a> tumbled nearly 0.8 percent from its 2016 open. By the end of the month, it had mostly recovered. But on Feb. 11, shares plunged again, shedding nearly 0.6 percent of their value from the start of the month. Again, they bounced back. Even though the index closed down yesterday, it&#8217;s up slightly for the year.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far, those gyrations haven\u2019t had a meaningful effect on the broader housing market. And few economists are worried about a recession this year.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, sailing is rarely smooth. Goldman Sachs analysts are predicting &#8220;disappointing&#8221; corporate profits. S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mall- and mid-sized business owners are glum, too, with 43 percent reporting pessimism about the economy. That&#8217;s the biggest share since 2012 and up from 33 percent last fall, according to a recent survey from\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnc.com\/en\/about-pnc\/media\/economic-reports.html#neo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PNC Financial Services Group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yesterday, economists from developed countries warned that a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/economy\/compositeleadingindicatorsclioecdapril2016.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">slowdown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> might be on the horizon in the U.S., U.K., Japan, Germany, Italy and elsewhere.<\/span><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"align-center\">So what?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For homebuyers, there\u2019s a silver lining. Uncertainty has a way of making mortgages cheaper. Last week, rates hit their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/mortgage-rates-a-new-low-amid-global-volatility.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lowest in a year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe plummeting U.S. stock market is giving potential homebuyers an unexpected boost in the form of lower mortgage rates,\u201d said LeeSa Lyons, a Redfin agent in <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/30756\/GA\/Atlanta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlanta<\/a>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And many Americans have benefited from record-breaking share prices since the great recession.
