Costa Mesa landlords who have already profited from the national tilt toward rental investment will have been furthered by last month’s Zillow report on the growth of rents across the nation. They might be including apartment housing in their data, but in any case, rent revenue is accelerating.  

Landlords had to be pleased everywhere else. Rents were up in every one of the nation’s top 50 markets—except for the unlucky Wisconsin metro. The solid 3% year-over-year growth figure meant that rent proceeds have been rising the fastest since early in 2016. The national averages for the preceding years were lower for a number of reasons. Key among them was that the new rental properties were largely built for the higher quality market. The result was a…

For those who’d been monitoring Costa Mesa mortgage rates ahead of last week’s Federal Reserve interest rate cut, the news that followed was confusing. The Fed’s decision to lower their overnight lending rate for the first time since the Great Recession commanded first page headlines—but the details that followed provided little clarity.

For homeowners pondering selling or mortgagees thinking of refinancing or applying for a line of credit, the question was whether now was the optimal time to take advantage of the bargain interest rate environment…or…?

First were reports on the fallout from Wednesday’s ¼ point drop in the Fed’s benchmark overnight borrowing rate. Wall Streeters didn’t seem to like it—not because it wasn’t good for borrowers of…
