The Federal Housing Finance Agency and FHA recently announced the increases to how much buyers can borrow for loans backed by the federal government.

The rollercoaster housing market of the past two years is a big reason for the increase in real estate agent use.

Participants can choose from more than 100 education sessions and interact with more than 350 exhibitors at the real estate industry's largest trade show.

With mortgage rates near their highest level in more than 20 years, even veterans who often get more favorable loan terms are feeling the pinch.

A group of Missouri home sellers argued that real estate agent fees hurt consumers by artificially inflating home prices.

Total nonfarm payroll growth increased by 150,000 in October, and the unemployment rate changed little, increasing 3.9% over last month's 3.8%.

High rates are also limiting the inventory of homes on the market, because homeowners with low rates are unwilling to sell and move.
