THE LAND BEFORE TIME

After all, the sounds we are familiar with were manufactured by Hollywood. You'll be surprised how they got some of the sound effects for Jurassic Park!
So, how terrifying were the noises made by dinosaurs actually?

REAL ESTATE

There were 2% more applicants looking to refinance last week than the week prior. That number is up 89% compared to this time last year. Right now the average interest rate is 2.9% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
And despite being down slightly last week, initial mortgage applications are still up for the year.
"The purchase market is also poised to finish 2020 on a strong note. Applications fell slightly last week but were around 3% higher than the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. Reversing the recent trend, there was also a shift in the composition of applications, with an increase in government loans pushing the average loan balance lower," said economist Joel Kan.
