@kylieduff1 It was “Bring your girl to work” day. I did my best to stay out of the way and loved watching the real actors get to it. Catch me, a nameless bar patron, deep in the background of episode 8. Thank you @thecwwalkerindependence for a great, great day. In the meantime, the actual stars and their enviable talents are viewable on Thursdays at 9pm EST.

How sweet! Kylie got to join Matt on WIndy!

Quicken Loans Study Shows Slight Gap Between Owner Perception and Appraiser Opinion of Home Value

Quicken Loans Study Shows Slight Gap Between Owner Perception and Appraiser Opinion of Home Value

DETROIT, June 12, 2018 (STLRealEstate.News) — Homeowners and appraisers are coming closer to being on the same page, and in an increasing number of metro areas appraisals are even higher than what owners expected. In May, appraised values were 0.34 percent lower than expected, according to Quicken Loans’ National Home Price Perception Index (HPPI). This is a vast improvement from the year prior, when the gap between the appraisers’ and owners’ opinions was five times larger.

Both perceptions of home values and the appraisal values themselves are improving. Quicken Loans’ National Home Value Index (HVI) reported 0.71 percent growth in May. Appraisal values rose even more on an annual basis, jumping 6.56 percent year-over-year.

Home Price Perception Index (HPPI)

In the heart of the Home Price Perception Index (HPPI), homeowners are increasingly understanding their home values. Nationally, appraisal values are an average of 0.34 percent higher than owners expected, according to the HPPI. A slight tick up from April’s level, but a minuscule difference overall. While home value perceptions vary from city to city, more metro areas are experiencing appraisals that are actually higher than expected. This is the case in three quarters of the cities studied in the HPPI. Homeowners in San Jose, for example, are receiving appraisals that are an average of 2.82 percent higher than they expected. Homeowners in The Windy City, on the other hand, are receiving appraisals an average of 1.69 percent lower than what they estimated.

“Real estate is incredibly local, from style preferences to the direction of the market and everything in between,” said Bill Banfield, Quicken Loans Executive Vice President of Capital Markets. “Our hope is that this report can help homeowners realize that national headlines don’t always apply in their community. It’s important homeowners talk to real estate or mortgage experts who have experience analyzing their community when they’re thinking of selling, or utilizing their home’s equity.”

Home Value Index (HVI)

Home appraisal values rose 0.71 percent in May, according to the Quicken Loans HVI – the only measurement of home value changes based solely on appraisal data. Annually, home values posted healthy growth, increasing 6.56 percent year-over-year. The West was the only region to buck the trend of monthly gains – posting a 1.41 percent decline in value from April to May. All four regions analyzed show annual growth ranging from a 5.91 percent increase in the Midwest to an 8.42 percent jump in the Northeast.

“As we hit peak real estate season, the number of eager buyers continued to outpace the number of homes that were available, which has led to surges in appraisal values across the country and especially in the Northeast,” Banfield said. “The only remedy is to accelerate the pace of construction to fill this need.”

About the HPPI & HVI

The Quicken Loans HPPI represents the difference between appraisers’ and homeowners’ opinions of home values. The index compares the estimate that the homeowner supplies on a refinance mortgage application to the appraisal that is performed later in the mortgage process. This is an unprecedented report that gives a never-before-seen analysis of how homeowners are viewing the housing market. The HPPI national composite is determined by analyzing appraisal and homeowner estimates throughout the entire country, including data points from both inside and outside the metro areas specifically called out in the above report.

The Quicken Loans HVI is the only view of home value trends based solely on appraisal data from home purchases and mortgage refinances. This produces a wide data set and is focused on appraisals, one of the most important pieces of information to the mortgage process.

The HPPI and HVI are released on the second Tuesday of every month. Both of the reports are created with Quicken Loans’ propriety mortgage data from the 50-state lenders’ mortgage activity across all 3,000+ counties. The indexes are examined nationally, in four geographic regions and the HPPI is reported for 27 major metropolitan areas. All indexes, along with downloadable tables and graphs can be found at QuickenLoans.com/Indexes.

I used to say "It's too cold to walk today." Or "It's too hot to walk today." Now I remember this saying and do my best to push through whatever is out there. Today it was cold, windy, and snow flurries were falling. But I put on my layers and went out there and walked 1.08 miles in 22:23. I'm glad I did. It wasn't even that cold once I got going. And I feel great! It's days like this that help keep me going; doing what I don't want to do and feeling a sense of accomplishment after.

[laf-outloud]

The Live+3 ratings are in for Walker 3.08 and Walker: Independence 1.08! Walker is holding steady and doing really well in the demo. WIndy is steady in their demo, and while the viewers have gone down, they're still higher than all the other CW shows +7's (except Walker and All American). Hopefully, WIndy can continue to gain into the +7.

[laf-outloud]

The Live+7 ratings are here for Walker 3.08 and WIndy 1.08!

Walker hit their highest demo for the season and WIndy, while their viewer numbers are the lowest for the season did hit their highest viewer gain percentage! Their demo is holding steady.

[laf-outloud]

WIndy back with a bang! This show never misses or makes us endure dull moments and I love them for that.

I have to remember to keep good faith when it comes to Gus, he’s smarter and more in the know than he lets on and seems to have his own motives that he’s not quite willing to let people in on yet. He’s also the character that knows Tom best since he knew that unless Tom found the body himself he’d never believe it was Mary Collins, and was instantly suspicious of Tom letting the suspect go. The team needs someone who isn’t going to let their distrust of Tom blind them. His dynamic with Hoyt was so good– I’m a sucker for when the lawman and the outlaw team up. I’m also wondering if we’re going to see a new arc for Hoyt with him going legit, I could see Gus and Hoyt running Independence together. Hoyt’s days as a ranch hand didn’t last long and with it his relationship with Lucia is also over, or at least that’s the way it seems. I’m hoping that Lucia now enters her girl boss rancher era.

I’m happy that Kai didn’t run away, I’d miss him. Plus we’ve all seen that Independence is a boring town, it could use his drama 😉

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Abby’s sister or her joining the show so soon (I thought Boston wouldn’t come into play until season 2) but I love her and need her back ASAP. Kate probably feels the same way lol. Those two kissing while Angel Olsen played did more for the gay community than Chaos Machine/Jenneel ever could. I loved the scene where Kate was filling Charlie in on all of the gossip. Didn’t think I’d get my shipping wish fulfilled in the same episode as her introduction! Their spark was there from the moment they met! Kate really is the most charming woman. I’m glad Abby seems to understand her sister a little better now, and hopefully realizes that they’re more alike than Abby thinks (side note, get off your high horse Abby). I’m also curious because it seems that Charlie knew more about Liam than his own wife did.

Calian’s storyline has taken quite the turn! I’m guessing that Calian is going to turn to the town, specifically Abby and co, for an alliance to protect his tribe. The Native gossip mill must be wild, how does this chick know so much about Calian? I know it’s probably just because it’s convenient for the narrative, but I like imagining people gossiping about the handsome Calian.

Did anyone else think that Tom Davidson was going to kiss Abby when they were searching the scene of Liam’s death? It’s funny because I’m always happy that the show doesn’t force romance and I’m a slow burn type of gal, but every episode I also want Tom and Abby to kiss. He’s clearly so into Abby. “You saved me, you’re so smart and determined, you ran the town with Gus while I was gone and I’m totally not jealous, you care and my family doesn’t😍🙈🙊” And this episode he reminded us that he was previously in a mental institute by hanging the guy that stabbed him from the ceiling. My skin crawled when he stabbed that guy in the hand. I was wondering why he let him go, but apparently Davidson sheriff work needs to be done off the books. Abby is growing on me as time goes on. I love the parallel of both her and Tom being artists, and being so conflicted when it comes to him and her morals.

And speaking of conflict, a Tom Davidson doppelgänger! Props to the casting department, they really do look like brothers. I’m surprised Abby is able to admit that she might be wrong about Tom, and I’m excited to see where this takes the case.

All in all, the perfect episode to bring things back. Humor, romance, more mystery and good, old fashion western drama. I missed these characters so much! Can’t believe we only have a few more episodes in the season.

Swoon! I love your reviews! Thank you for continuing to send them in!

Gus has so many layers I feel we've barely scratched the surface! And him and Hoyt? Comedy gold! (Matt was wearing a pretty smart suit in one of the bts photos... maybe he's looking to be on the town council?)

I miss Kai when he's not in the episodes, I can't imagine him being out of town. But I find it interesting that he was so willing to open up to Hoyt when he's been so tight-lipped prior to now. I wonder if Lucia's put in a good word for Hoyt, or if it's just easier thinking he may be talking one criminal to another.

Kate and Charlie!!! Chate? Karlie? "Those two kissing while Angel Olsen played did more for the gay community than Chaos Machine/Jenneel ever could." You're not wrong!

I'm right there with them gossiping about Calian!

I didn't really see a kiss coming, but the chemistry he and Abby have is fantastic. And I did not see Tom's descent into torture coming. Now I'm really curious as to what he was in the asylum for.

Called it when I saw those photos of Tom and Shane for next week. I knew there'd be a way for Tom to be exonerated of killing Liam. (Even if he still might be guilty.)

I'm lucky that I get to rewatch WIndy as I'm typing! Along with everything else being fabulous, Hoyt looks fantastic in blue! (I think that's a Walkerverse constant!)

[laf-outloud]

I love to see Cowboys and Indians Magazine supporting our little show! Let's hope more people tune in!

[laf-outloud]

If you're like me and had a hard time keeping track of everything, Briar's done a recap for us!

[laf-outloud]

I can't wait!

[laf-outloud]

Yay. They came out in time. http://www.spoilertv.com/2023/01/tv-ratings-for-thursday-12th-january.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=RSS

Walker is certainly holding steady! But poor WIndy. I know numbers can be lower coming back off of break, but I so dearly want other people to watch and enjoy the awesomeness of Independence! At least their demo is holding steady.

Just a reminder for everyone to go to the CW app and stream the latest episodes of Walker and Walker: independence!

[laf-outloud]

@kat.mcnamara Howdy, folks! We are back with part two of the season! Join us tonight for an all new #WalkerIndependence : THE DEATH OF MARY COLLINS. Yup. *That* Mary Collins… 💀 #WIndy@cbstvstudios@thecw#WalkerLegacy

Kat's spoiling us with these additional photos! (The muddied Independence streets look amazing!)

[laf-outloud]

So this week was Abby's sister and next week is Tom's brother. The Walkerverse sure loves it's sibling relationships!

[laf-outloud]

I'm two for two (sort of)! Looks like Abby's questioning next week has to do with Tom's doppleganger.
