In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending March 6th, 2021… new concerns about inflation, signs of a job market rebound, and gender bias in the mortgage market.    We begin with economic news from this past week, and a stock market roller coaster that had real estate investors breathing a sigh of relief. Many of the high-flying tech stocks went south in response to concerns about inflation after Treasury yields spiked  a few times. Economists are also worried that the $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package that Congress is trying to pass will overheat the economy, and that recent signs of inflation are just the beginning.   www.NewsForInvestors.com   Links:   1 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/powell-sends-warning-to-markets-that-fed-doesnt-want-persistent-tightening-in-financial-conditions-11614879804?siteid=bnbh   2 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-economy-adds-379-000-jobs-in-february-as-hiring-speeds-up-11614951413?mod=home-page   3 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-unemployment-claims-rise-slightly-to-745-000-after-texas-power-outages-11614865793?mod=mw_latestnews   4 - https://eyeonhousing.org/2021/03/private-residential-spending-hits-record-high/   5 - http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/   6 - https://nahbnow.com/2021/03/fhfa-extends-covid-19-multifamily-forbearance-through-june-30/?_ga=2.65463978.528485599.1614974505-54843561.1614272299   7 - https://www.corelogic.com/blog/2021/3/new-year-started-off-with-double-digit-home-price-gains.aspx   8 - https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/national-rent-data   9 - https://www.redfin.com/news/single-women-home-purchases-increase-2020/
