White Paper: Protect Your Business from Ransomware

Ransomware pirates are using the coronavirus in a variety of malicious campaigns to attack businesses. Don’t fall victim to these tactics.

“While national home prices increased 6.7%, only nine states had home price growth at the same rate of growth or higher than the national average because the largest states, such as Texas, Florida and California, are experiencing high rates of home price appreciation,” said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic.

“Home prices are continuing to soar across much of the U.S. led by major metro areas such as Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Denver. Prices are being fueled by a potent cocktail of high demand, low inventories and historically low interest rates,” said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. “Looking forward to next year, nationwide home prices are expected to climb another 5% in many parts of the country to levels approaching the pre-recession peak.”
