There is no specific “real estate” category in the Apple App Store, so apps are listed according to their rank in categories like lifestyle, business, news, finance, and productivity. These rankings were sampled on Thursday, July 22, 2010 — TopAppCharts’ rankings can change daily. All listed apps are free.

1. Zillow Real Estate (No. 3 in Lifestyle section): Search for homes for sale and rent on a large-screen map using landscape or portrait mode; filter searches by price, size or housing type; flick through photos of one or more homes alongside the map; compare photos for different listings side by side; save favorite homes and sync them with Zillow.com and Zillow’s iPhone app.

The company reported that 70,051 notices of default were filed at county recorder offices in California during the second quarter, down 13.6 percent from the first quarter and down 43.8 percent compared to second-quarter 2009.

This holiday-short week was news-thin, and mid-July marks the beginning of an often sleepy season for markets and the economy.

Panic is sometimes an excellent investment strategy, but it is a difficult frame of mind to maintain. Thus stocks soared 450 points in three days this week, shorts covering, but bond and mortgage yields held extraordinary lows, underlying worry entrenched.

The 10-year T-note rose to 3.05 percent from 2.95 percent (mostly pricing down in advance of next week’s $69 billion Treasury bond sale), but mortgages stayed put in the mid-4s.

In fact, the trend is looking upward now that the Federal Reserve has pulled itself out of the mortgage-buying market. Since the end of March, mortgage rates have been steadily creeping higher, past the all-important psychological benchmark, 5 percent.

For would-be homeowners, this means a higher mortgage loan rate when purchasing a new house. For homeowners, this means, higher interest rates when refinancing. Couple higher interest rates with the expiration of the government tax credit worth $8,000 to new home owners, as well as higher treasury yields, and conditions are ripe for higher mortgages – and less impetus to purchase

Though economists had expected the latest pending home sales index to be down – after all, February saw the worst weather in decades in large parts of the U.S. – the numbers actually took a big bounce.

The National Association of Realtors reported that pending sales jumped 8.2 percent for the month and were 17 percent higher than they were at the same time last year.

Oddly, the latest housing news is usually about the nation’s high foreclosure rates, but the combination of the sliding house prices and favorable mortgage rates are apparently creating a more stable housing market.

They are not, but these mortgage loans come from a place you wouldn’t think of: the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
