The St. Louis Fred® on the cutting edge of data slap chop

I’m a big fan of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Fred® economic data website and they’ve developed and increase their access to more data through mobile apps and my favorite Microsoft® Excel® add-in’s and now they’ve added another feature to their arsenal of data medium offerings. This new offering surrounding their “Primary Mortgage Market Survey data” where one can view a data table or even more intuitively a slew of graphs based on filters parceled out by region or as an aggregate of Freddie Mac data allows user to gain access to key data and immediately refabricate the data into nice charts where recession times are shaded and percentage changes could be amended on the fly. Again a big two thumbs up to the folks at the St. Louis Fed for being at the cuff of leading with analytics.
