Housing Market Crash Fears After Prices Fall For Fifth Month In A Row

The latest data came from the new House Price Index, released by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) on Tuesday. Experts have predicted that the housing market is bound for a significant correction in the next two years. Some fear that house prices in the most-overinflated cities across the U.S. might fall as much as during the Great Recession of late 2007 to 2009.

How A Colon Biopsy Is Performed

Overview Your healthcare provider found an irregularity in one of your colon cancer screening exams. The only way to definitively tell if the abnormality is cancerous is by extracting the tissue and taking a look at it under a microscope. If abnormalities were found during a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy, the healthcare provider probably extracted tissues during that same test.
