Earlier today, I decided to take a look at a bit of mortgage news. Often, it’s something that I quite like to do, every now and then, in an effort to keep up to date with how things are looking in our current climate. With a bit of Googling, you’ll find that there are some handy sites out there for just that sort of thing; you can sort of glance over the main headlines without needing to spend too much time reading anything.

I was quite interested to see that some of the news was quite positive stuff. There is an article here suggesting that mortgage rates are rising – indeed, rising for the first time since August, which is good to see. It might be a “small move”, but baby steps are always going to be needed with something like this.

Certainly, I think that if I were in the market to sell my house, or looking to be selling any property, I would be starting to smile again. It is a good sign, because although there have been a few of these incidents, where things start to look good momentarily – often they are just that: momentary. Hopefully here, things can keep moving forward.

Now, it is time to kick back, relax, and watch a bit of the NFL, I think. Currently Tom Brady is on track to break the single game passing touchdown record. Unless they take him off, of course, which they probably will do considering the horrible conditions they’re playing in. I’m not usually the biggest fan of the Patriots, but when you have Brady in your fantasy team, having him throw 5 touchdowns in the 2^nd quarter becomes slightly more exciting.
