Wall Street: STOCK MARKET Wall Street reacts favorably to the Trump administration and future goals. The market is up and fluctuating between 2000 and 2300 traded shares daily. This is an excellent improvement from pre existing years in a short time span. Blue Sky investing is a yielding investment at this time.
THE GLOBAL MARKET The Global market is is showing some signs of improvement.
GOVERNMENT The FED makes it first interest rate hike for 2017. The Prime Lending Rate is now 4.0%. Mortgage Rates have not followed at this time.
This is because of the Government controlled conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who are moving their rates up ahead of the FED adjustments.
This keeps some of the heat and spotlight off the actual result of the FED's actions temporarily. It's a scheme as Americans have experienced for the last 8 years to soften the Press Blow to Americans. May be Americans won't notice the government is taking the most important asset of the USA off the table of most First Time Homes Buyers.
In addition, the FED is substantially lowering prices throughout America by their actions. Therefore Sellers can't sell because their step up equity in not enough for the down payment.
The end game is still the same, because if you don't qualify due to higher interest rates or not a home buyer doesn't have enough cash to move up, you don't buy or sell.
Their has been 0.17% Real Estate Grow in the USA for 2016. And for January and February 2017, 0.40%. There has been a "No Real Estate Growth" pattern for the last 14 months primarily created by the upswing in interest rates.
A FUTURE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK Editors Viewpoint:
If the Federal Reserve Board continues to micro manage America, the result will be a delayed rebuilding of the USA economy. _______________________________________
REAL ESTATE FUTURES Prime Lending Rates: The FED is now indicating a tightening concept directed at Americans and America.
This concept really should apply to the FED in a method of repaying the Taxpayer as was promised by Gerorge W. Bush in 2008 for the debts incurred by the mortgage crises. On top of the crises the Obama administration doubled the NATIONAL DEBT.
To date the American Taxpayer has not received any interest or "interest credit" on the debt incurred by the mortgage crises scheme.
The Federal Reserve Bank debt has increased from its -$800 Billion negative annual float to approximately -4 Trillion 500 Billion in just 8 years. Not included in the National Debt.
The FED has done nothing to resolve the issues, other than, again as always looking to America or the American taxpayer.
Janet Yellen current FED Chair is a Obama appointee and her term expires January 2018.
Who is next and can they turn the FED around?

USA HOME BUYER AND SELLERS Real Estate in the USA is declining due to approximately 1.5 Million Americans that are still "actual unemployed" since 2008. In addition Sellers equity has been diminished about -$17,600. since June 2016 to date.
The 1% rise in mortgage interest rates within the same period of time may have also scared away Buyers. Qualifying for a Home Loan is now more difficult than it was 9 months ago and the average American Savings account is also less.
As TRUMP tries to improve America for Americans the FED is counter punching the current Administration with any progress that "appears" to help the USA out of a 8 Year Depression and Recession.
Since Trump began in office the National Debt is down -$125 Billion and US Money Printing has gone down approximately -18%.
Because of the poor condition of America's internal economy this in all probability will not continue on a permanent basis. ______________________________________ Trump Speculation per Thousand Dollars: Trumps Initial Plan: $1000.00 Earnings +280.00.

SPECULATION:
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two largest Mortgage Banks in the USA. Both are still under the US Government Conservator ship.
The result is, that they are not in really moving with the market. They are moving under the control of the Government.
Therefore, the Fannie Mae 60 Day Delivery Rate went Down and Mortgage Rates rose +1/8th of a percent between the months of February end and March end 2017.
Home prices nationally have been driven lower for the last half of 2016 and January to February 2017.
The Median Price of a Home as of December 31, 2016 was $232,200 and as of February 28, 2017 is $228,400., Down -$3,800.
