San Diego home prices went up the third fastest in the nation in September and appreciated at a pace not seen in more than six years.

After ending their hostile bid, the two investors continued their push for greater control of the mortgage technology company.

The third quarter’s higher share of purchase applications, which followed the refinance wave that crested in the second, caused a rise in mortgage application fraud risk, according to CoreLogic.

With a dearth of inventory, September generated the largest price growth in the housing market since May 2014, according to CoreLogic.

Getting ahead of the next wave of mortgage fraud calls for rock-solid systems with several protective tools deployed at once. But that only goes so far without the proper employee preparation.

Two investors pushing CoreLogic Inc. to explore a sale won partial support from a prominent shareholder advisory firm, which urged shareholders to support three of the dissident group’s nominees for the board.

The company said it is "engaging with third parties" that are reportedly willing to pay at least $14 per share more than Senator Investment and Cannae Holdings.

U.S. home prices rose the most in two years in August as low mortgage rates spurred competition for an increasingly scarce supply of listings.

The war of words between Senator Investments, Cannae Holdings and CoreLogic continues in the run-up to the Nov. 17 special shareholders meeting.

While overall mortgage delinquency rates slowly descend, serious delinquencies — especially loans past 120 days due — jumped in July, according to CoreLogic.

Expected to make landfall as a Category 2 storm, Hurricane Delta's surge is estimated to cause damage to 293,685 residential properties across Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, according to CoreLogic.

Low mortgage rates and strained supply drove the housing market price growth to a 26-month high in August, according to CoreLogic.

Home prices around Seattle rose faster than in any city in the country, save Phoenix, for the sixth consecutive month in midsummer.

Home prices in 20 U.S. cities gained in July, pushed higher by demand for housing that has been fueled by low mortgage rates.

Dallas had the greatest price gains in more than a year the latest nationwide comparison.

More defaults will lead to an increase in distressed sales, and that will drive down prices, CoreLogic said.

Nowhere is the widening gap between real estate and the real economy more apparent than in Las Vegas, where tourism is in ruins, wages are plunging and home prices just keep rocketing higher.

The potential acquirers included a "go shop" provision as a sweetener in the rejected offer.

Without further government help, that rate could double again by 2022, CoreLogic said.

Home prices continue to accelerate in Southwest Florida, but at a slower pace than the state and the nation.
