Rates went up again. The 30 year fixed rose six basis points to 6.87% and the 15 year rose three to 6.38%, per Mortgage News Daily. Both are now sitting exactly at the top of their 52 week ranges. Not near the top, at it.

A genuinely quiet day
No Newark house or townhome came on the market today. Not one. The seven properties still carrying the newly listed flag are all holdovers from last week, and one more came off that list overnight. Meanwhile two more went under contract, taking that count from 28 to 30, and buyable inventory eased from 60 to 58.
That combination, nothing arriving and a couple more going pending, is the quiet version of a tightening market. One session does not make a trend, but it is the opposite of what the last week looked like.
Ten ways into Newark under $900,000
The $1,238,000 median scares off buyers who would actually qualify here. Ten houses and townhomes, a mix of both, are available below $900,000 right now.
Seven more are staged as coming soon. Coming soon is the window where a prepared buyer can get ready before the listing goes public.
