As consumers patiently wait for mortgage rates to settle, the Century 21 Real Estate CEO is flagging consumers about 'positive signs' that are emerging from the real estate market.

I think we'll end the year anywhere from flat to 2% or 3% increase year-over-year,' the CEO explained.Miedler continued to break down some additional 'good news' for the real estate market and its impact on investors' economic outlook.

The average rate on a 30-year loan was 7.03% a year ago.'Week-over-week, we're up about 3% in purchase applications. And wow, that's four consecutive weeks in a row.
