US Economic Calendar for the Week of April 28, 2014

For participants in the real estate market concerned with the direction of mortgage rates, the economic data to be released in the upcoming week will most certainly have some degree of impact on their plans.

The economic or geopolitical news could have a direct effect on interest rates or could possibly spur market speculation on the future tapering intentions of the Federal Reserve but, in one way or another, there is likely going to be significant action in the bond markets as a result.

Add to the mix continued global turmoil particularly in Russia and Ukraine, its impact on commodity prices and currencies, and the foundation has been set for an interesting week ahead!

Courtesy of Econoday this is the chart of the US economic data to be released during the week of April 28, 2014, highlighted by the Employment Report for April to be released on Friday with a consensus estimate for 215,000 non-farm payroll jobs to have been created and the unemployment rate to have declined to 6.6%. The Case-Shiller House Price Index will be released on Tuesday with prices forecast to have risen 0.6%.

The chart below also includes any speeches that are scheduled to be given by the various Federal Reserve Governors and the treasury auction calendar!

Hallmark Abstract Service provides title insurance for both residential and commercial real estate transactions in New York State.

Hallmark Abstract President Michael Haltman is also extremely involved with the combat veterans 501(c)(3) Heroes To Heroes Foundation, serving as the Board Chair.

Hallmark Abstract Service

In 2008 we opened our doors focused on two primary goals:

Number one was to be a title insurance company that would provide clients with a superior finished product that completely protects their interests for what will likely be one of the largest transactions of their lifetime.

Number two was to insure that the experience of working with Hallmark Abstract Service was as easy and seamless as possible for all parties involved in the transaction!

From the number of satisfied clients who come back to Hallmark Abstract Service time after time for their title insurance needs, the evidence bears out that we have accomplished these two goals in the past and will maintain our client centric focus far into the future!

Post 1984 MBA in Finance from the State University of New York at Albany that concentrated on the tax-exempt market, Michael became a municipal bond analyst at Shearson/Lehman Brothers tasked with following general obligation issuers on the city and state level as well as housing bonds secured by mortgage pools.

This experience at Shearson/Lehman Brothers followed by stints at PaineWebber and Citigroup provided a broad framework and understanding of the real estate and mortgage markets.

As CEO of Exeter Commercial which underwrote and funded commercial mortgage loans as a correspondent lender, title insurance played a critical role in both the underwriting and closing process.

In 2008 recognizing both an opportunity and need, Hallmark Abstract Service was born.
