[Arizent @arizent_co]

@NatMortgageNews Editor-in-Chief @heidipantz joined @YahooFinance on Tuesday to discuss the housing market and what to expect on mortgage rates #LeadtheWay #mortgagerates

[Heidi Patalano @heidipantz]

Really enjoyed chatting with Brad and Julie on Yahoo Finance today. While the number of homes on the market is still falling short of demand overall, new-home sales are a bright spot....

[Yahoo Finance @YahooFinance]

“There’s really a surge in new inventory,” National Mortgage News Editor-in-Chief @heidipantz says on the 12.2% month-over-month rise in new home sales for May. “People are really optimistic about what’s coming on to the market.”

[Heidi Patalano @heidipantz]

@PeterDjerf @YahooFinance Thanks for checking it out, Peter! It was not a purposeful exclusion there - more that the Rocket example was fresh in my mind.

[Heidi Patalano @heidipantz]

I had so much fun today chatting with the folks at Yahoo Finance about mortgage rates. There's hope for first-time home buyers yet!

[Yahoo Finance @YahooFinance]

"There's some reason for optimism," National Mortgage News Editor-in-Chief @heidipantz says on the state of the U.S. housing market, adding: The Mortgage Bankers Association expects "rates to go down to about 5.6%."
