Launched by the Bank’s Community Development Department, the Housing Market and Mortgage Conditions in the Ninth District website offers graphs, maps and at-a-glance synopses of mortgage originations, mortgage performance and home prices in the Ninth District and nationwide (see example below). It also features an archive of housing-related articles and reports from the Community Development, Public Affairs and Research departments.
