Mortgage rates hit another new low. But that doesn't do much for potential buyers.
U.S. trade gap is at a 20-year high.
U.S. dollar falls to a 15-year low against the yen.
The Fed tries to "fix" the economy by using cash from maturing mortgage bonds to buy more debt. (???)
Stock market (Dow & S&P) drops 3-4% over the last few days, and oil (which has been volatile) dropped from approx. $83 to $76 in a week.
UPDATE: Summer sales numbers are slumping compared to last year (which had a false boost with the "Cash For Clunkers" gimmick).
