 Money News Now, 10 and 40 past the hour with Dan Ronan. Mark, two reports out on the real estate market show conflicting figures today. Mortgage applications moved slightly upwards for the week ending June 21st. However, a report this morning shows that contracts to buy previously owned homes fell in May, indicating that sales could remain subdued for a while as potential buyers grapple with higher mortgage rates and higher prices. 30-year fixed mortgages are now at 6.87%.
