The DOW index was at 7000 and now is at 11,000....this is a leading indicator.Companies and banks are absolutely flush with cash, its getting them to apply it to the economy in a positive way that is the issue for you guys.

What is the index?

I've never used one myself but it could be something to just get you up and running for now so that your site gets indexed asap.

Many (not all) of the ARM resets are tied to the 1-year Treasury Bill index.

As the Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows a decline in inflation, the margin will likely decrease, prompting more buyers to enter the market.Over the last 80 years, the residential real estate market has experienced negative growth in six years and zero growth in one year (MBS Highway).

Rates will of course be higher and rising as the Prime Rate Index rises (adjusts each time the FED announces the Fed Funds Rate is increasing or decreasing).

The core PCE price index, the inflation indicator favored by the Fed, will come out on Friday (7/31). 

This is why for most people, they are better off keeping money in index funds.

Even with my handyman background, I'd househack a few duplexes in up-and-coming neighborhoods for my cost-of-life cashflow and tax advantages and start loading everything else into index funds.
