## Resource

Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly cover mortgage rates, oil supply pressure, mortgage applications, local Stanislaus County activity, and California growth cities. The 10-year Treasury moved near 4.65, mortgage pricing worsened, and oil pressure returned as WTI pushed toward the high-$80 range. At the same time, mortgage applications increased 1.9%, with purchase applications up 6%. Ed and Mike also discuss homeownership, buyers under 35, Manteca's growth, and why people are still buying even in a choppy market. A fast Real Estate Jerky Daily update with the usual bite. #RealEstateJerkyDaily #EdParcaut #MikeKelly #RealEstateJerky #MortgageRates #OilPrices #MortgageApplications #PurchaseApplications #HousingMarketUpdate #Homeownership #TenYearTreasury #StraitOfHormuz #StanislausCountyRealEstate #ModestoRealEstate #CentralValleyRealEstate #CaliforniaRealEstate #MantecaRealEstate #RealEstatePodcast #MortgagePodcast #MarketNewsWithTeeth Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/real-estate-jerky-daily--6413899/support .
