There are few things scarier than looking for a place to live in the city, which seems to explain the thematic importance of real estate to so many New York-based horror films . Whether it's satanists skulking around The Dakota or a virologist living on Washington Square Park in a post-apocalyptic world , New York apartments and homes—and the invasion of these spaces by the otherworldly—tend to figure prominently in Hollywood's version of creepy. With that in mind, we're listing some of the weirdest, most iconic apartments to have been featured in movies set in New York that are perfect to watch on Halloween. Not all of these are strictly horror films, with thriller, fantasy, and adventure bleeding through the porous boundaries of genre. They range in quality from "genuine classic" to "utter crap," but all of them are worth watching in their own ways, if only to see how New York finds its way onto the silver screen. Check out the list this way >...

Home prices rose more slowly in January, extending a trend of moderating gains. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city Index rose 13.2% from a year ago, 0.1% less than December's year-over-year change. The pace of annual gains has slowed for three straight months and January's increase was below the 13.4% for all of 2013. All 20 cities showed higher prices than in January 2013. But compared with December, prices fell in 12. The decliners were led by Chicago, which was down 1.2%. "The housing recovery may have taken a breather due to the cold weather," said David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Las Vegas, up 1.1%, was tops among gainers.The other four were Miami, up 0.7%; San Diego, 0.6%; San Francisco, 0.5%; and Tampa, 0.1%.

Tracy's Credit Tip of the Month Wells Fargo gears towards the subprime mortgage market. What does that mean for home buyers, realtors, bankers, and other finance professionals? With the refinance boom coming to an end and banks looking to find new ways to increase profits subprime loans are becoming a new focus. Wells Fargo, the mortgage leader, will now embrace subprime loans, which means other banks are sure to follow. In the past Wells Fargo would not even entertain a loan if the FICO score was less than 640 but now they are looking at scores of 600 and up. Due to a loss in profits of the dwindling refinance market banks are beginning to lean towards business lending and subprime loans. How will this impact those looking to purchase real estate? There are many individuals who have not been able to qualify for a loan in the past 3 or more years due to a loss of income and poor credit scores.

Leaving a settled job for a freelance (or consultant) career is one of the toughest decisions for anyone. On one hand you have a guaranteed paycheck at the end of every month along with a number of other fringe benefits. While on the other hand, you can go completely freelance and enjoy the freedom of working on your favorite projects on your own terms. The problem with freelancing, however, is the sheer number of people doing it. Clients have an almost unending list of freelancers at their disposal due to which the market is dominated by low paying gigs and cheap projects. Freelancing portals like Elance, oDesk, Guru etc. are prime examples of this scenario. It’s very hard to stand out from the crowd and earn what you actually deserve. Especially if you’re a nobody who’s just starting out. There is, however, one way to not only stand out from the crowd , enhance your brand image and be counted as an expert, but also to command much higher rates for your work. And tha...

Advocates of immigration reform argue it will build housing demand and invigorate home prices, but the jury is still out as to just how much of an impact increased Immigration will have on future housing demand. A recent blog post by Jessica Dill, senior economic research analyst in the Atlanta Fed’s research department, explores new research on how immigration affects housing demand. According to a September 2010 working paper by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, an increase of between 11.8 million and 13.8 million households, depending on whether you use low- or high-immigration assumptions, is projected between 2010 and 2020, she wrote. Likewise, Dowell Myers and John Pitkin prepared a report earlier this year for the Research Institute for Housing America projecting an increase of 12.8 million households between 2010 and 2020, of which immigrants account for 4.12 million, or 32.2 percent. Looking back to previous decades, Myers and Pitkin note that the 4.03 mil...
