Editor's Note: This article has been updated to reflect that the data was released on Wednesday.
Positive news has emerged for U.S. homebuyers navigating the housing market, as the average interest rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances (up to $766,550) declined to 6.50% in the week ending Aug. 16, according to data released Wednesday by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mortgages">the Mortgage Bankers Association. </a>
This represents the lowest level since early May 2023. The decrease in mortgage rates aligns with a dip in long-term Treasury yields, influenced by market expectations of multiple rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year.
Last week, the 30-year Treasury yield dropped by 7 basis points, currently on track for a fourth straight month of declines. Month-to-date the long-dated Treasury bond has seen its yields tumble by about 25 basis points to the current 4.05%. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mortgage Applications Dip As Homebuyers Take A Breather</h3>
However, this rate drop did not translate into an increase in mortgage application activity. 
After two consecutive weeks of robust growth, mortgage applications fell sharply, signaling that many potential homebuyers are still in a holding pattern, likely waiting for more clarity on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future policy direction, which could be hinted at during the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium.

Despite the reduced 30-year fixed mortgage rate, overall mortgage applications saw a 10.1% decline compared to the previous week, partially erasing the robust 25% gain recorded over the prior two weeks.
Refinance applications, which tend to be more sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates, dropped by 15%, cutting into the 35% surge observed in the previous week.
Similarly, applications for home purchase mortgages fell by 5%, building on the 8% decline from the prior week. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Thursday&#8217;s Real Estate Stock Movers </h3>
The broader real estate sector, as tracked by the Real Estate&nbsp;Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>), was up 0.3% during Thursday premarket trading, on track to notch the highest level since September 2022.

<h3>The Relevance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Universal Health Realty's Ex-Dividend Date Is Monday, Here's What You Need To Know

Two important measures for real estate investment trusts (REITs) are a solid dividend growth record and recent dividend increases, no matter how large or small. Dividend increases provide investors with the assurance that the REIT's management perceives itself as able to maintain or increase its earnings and revenue into the future.
In addition, dividend increases often lead to a rise in the share price, as the confidence of management, along with a larger dividend yield becomes more attractive to potential investors. It's also important for the REIT to keep its payout ratio at a level where the dividend increases are still well covered by funds from operations (FFO).

Take a look at three REITs from different subsectors that have just increased their quarterly dividends this week:
CubeSmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CUBE#NYSE">CUBE</a>) is a Malvern, Pennsylvania-based, internally managed self-storage REIT with over 600 storage facilities across the U.S. It had its initial public offering (IPO) in 2004 under the name U-Store-It. In 2011, it was rebranded as CubeSmart. Between 2012 and 2022, CubeSmart grew its FFO per share by 242%. Its same-store occupancy rate was recently 92.1%.
On Dec. 7, CubeSmart announced a 4.1% increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.49 to $0.51 per share. The dividend is payable on Jan. 16 to shareholders of record on Jan. 2. The new annual dividend of $2.04 per share yields 4.87%.
CubeSmart continues to have an excellent dividend growth record. With this increase, the dividend has now grown 37.2% from $0.32 to $0.51 per share over the past five years. The payout ratio is now 76.6%, still well covered by earnings.
On Oct. 30, Bank of America Securities analyst Jeffrey Spector downgraded CubeSmart from Buy to Neutral and lowered the price target from $51 to $38. The analyst felt that the demand for self-storage facilities was weakening in October.
CubeSmart closed at $33.98 the previous trading day, on a downtrend from July when it traded as high as $46.55. But only three days later in its third-quarter operating results, CubeSmart reported FFO that beat estimates by a penny and also beat the revenue estimate by $27 million. CubeSmart has been on a tear ever since, climbing back to a recent close at $41.81.
Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UHT#NYSE">UHT</a>) is a Pennsylvania-based healthcare REIT that owns and operates healthcare facilities such as acute care and rehabilitation hospitals, medical office buildings, free-standing emergency rooms and childcare centers. Universal Health Realty Trust has 77 properties across 21 states. Medical buildings and clinics account for 68% of its properties. Universal Health Realty was founded in 1986.
On Dec. 7, Universal Health Realty announced an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.72 to $0.725 per share.
For 36 consecutive years, Universal Health Realty Income Trust has paid quarterly dividends. Over the last five years, it's raised the dividend five times in small increments by 6.6% without cuts or suspensions. However, the stock price during this time has declined from over $69 to $42.
The $2.90 annual dividend presently yields 6.9%, but the payout ratio of 87.8% does not leave much room for further dividend increases unless Universal Health begins to increase its FFO.
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPRT#NYSE">EPRT</a>) is a Princeton, New Jersey-based diversified REIT that owns and manages single-tenant properties with net leases for service-oriented and experience-based businesses. It has a portfolio of 1,793 properties across 48 states, and its occupancy rate is 99.8%. Car washes, early childhood educational services and medical and dental services are its three largest portfolio components. Essential Properties was founded in 2016.&nbsp;
On Dec. 7, Essential Properties Realty Trust announced an increase in its quarterly dividend from $ 0.28 to $0.285 per share. This was the second dividend increase this year for Essential Properties. In June, the dividend was increased from $0.2750 to $0.28 per share.
Over the past five years, the dividend has grown by 35.7%. The annual dividend of $1.14 per share now yields 4.6%. The payout ratio of 65.5% is well covered at present.
On Nov. 13, Essential Properties announced the retirement of board Chairman Paul T. Bossidy and the appointment of Scott A. Estes as the new chairman, effective Dec. 31.&nbsp;
B.Riley Securities, Stifel and Truist Securities all have recent Buy ratings on Essential Properties Realty Trust, with price targets ranging from $27 to $29.

Expansion is expected to tighten integration between
physical and behavioral healthcare for patients
AUSTIN, Texas&nbsp;and&nbsp;KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.,&nbsp;July 19, 2023&nbsp;/PRNewswire/ -- Universal Health Services (UHS), a leading provider of hospital and healthcare services, is expanding the&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3922952-1&amp;h=3786484489&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Fhealth&amp;a=Oracle+Health" target="_blank">Oracle Health</a>&nbsp;electronic health record (EHR) across its broad network of behavioral health facilities. UHS acute care hospitals have used Oracle Health&#39;s technology for a decade. With this expansion, the organization now has access to a single, unified EHR in acute and behavioral health facilities across&nbsp;the United States&nbsp;to better inform care decisions and help improve patient safety practices.
&quot;With our focus on patient safety and providing superior care, access to more complete and accurate health information across the care continuum will better inform care decisions, enhance health outcomes, improve medical behavioral integration, and ultimately support value-based care,&quot; said&nbsp;Matt Peterson, president, Behavioral Health Division, UHS. &quot;There is a historical lack of health record digitization in the behavioral health sector. We are leading the charge in modernizing our technology and this is an exciting horizon as we further pursue total patient care. We&#39;re also seeing a rapidly growing number of patients seeking behavioral care, with many in severe situations and needing high acuity care. Teaming with technology leaders like Oracle Health helps us innovate so we can meet patients where they are and expand services to areas that are currently underserved.&quot;
With more than 200 behavioral health facilities across&nbsp;the United States, UHS behavioral health providers offer inpatient, outpatient, and residential treatment for children, adolescents, adults, and elderly.
Five facilities have gone live this year, with more underway and continuing across the UHS behavioral health facilities over the next few years.
By using Oracle Health&#39;s EHR across its acute and behavioral health facilities, UHS care teams can more easily and securely share information to enable a more collaborative treatment approach and to help improve continuity of patient care. UHS patients also benefit from having access to a portable, digitized record that can travel with them from one care setting to another and encompasses both their&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3922952-1&amp;h=2213209382&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.oracle.com%2Fhealthcare%2Fpost%2Fdigitizing-the-behavioral-health-record-to-benefit-patients-and-providers&amp;a=behavioral+and+physical+health+history" target="_blank">behavioral and physical health history</a>&nbsp;in a single record.
Oracle&#39;s behavioral-health specific EHR content and functionality was further customized by UHS during the initial rollout to help clinicians gain a more comprehensive view of a patient&#39;s record, better inform care decisions, and enhance safety practices. Their customizations are now being offered to other Oracle customers via Crossings Healthcare Solutions, a subsidiary of UHS. This approach is similar to how Crossings has long assisted traditional acute care organizations to optimize their EHR.
&quot;UHS is at the forefront of total patient care, and digitizing behavioral health information in its EHR is an important step toward integrating its healthcare practices to enable better caregiver experiences and improved patient outcomes,&quot; said&nbsp;Travis Dalton, executive vice president, Oracle Health. &quot;Building on a decade of successful collaboration, this expanded relationship between UHS and Oracle Health takes a significant step toward realizing the goal of seamless health information exchange.&quot;
