Thanks so much for joining us I'd look at New York Times article from yesterday rate in the first paragraph they see it and I love this because they're so prone to hyperbole -- one of the most abusive -- levees aren't consumers when they buy a home.

-- no I think that fees and points or and essentially thought of -- book that banks to do in order to.
Process for mortgage.
And get all the documentation and people have done.
And so I think this is going to obviously that impact the economics are -- offering a mortgage backed.
Highlight the fact that -- be greater transparency.
And more disclosures and that could make it easy for consumers to understand what that thing.
Actually without question I don't want to pay fees and points I'd like to have my mortgage for free but that's not a very good business for -- You're not gonna get out there and do it if you're not making money on it right.

Or are people who are out there and existing homes just refinance into better rate.
-- I think the to a connected minutes so a lot of consumers sort of -- -- have had great that have been in the 78%.
For a very long time.
And I think just snorting -- it buy it you know -- almost feel full percentage points.
Can impact the household disposable income by almost 50%.
And that's a very significant.
Talk of the economic recovery second to that extent it's a very good thing.
And then we -- -- I have nothing to do with the housing market having maybe that helps consumers -- their bite she is the benefit houses all well what it does is it also allows for us homebuyers to come in that it diamond home -- so low BP to trumpet -- about 35%.
And with interest rates being as -- the -- it does cause.
GD -- you heard it -- who can ignite the market at some point the people I think it all depends on consumer confidence.
So I think it's great.
