UWM called Two Harbors a "melting ice cube" in a statement shared after the REIT announced it will move forward with an acquisition bid from CrossCountry Mortgage.

Home prices increased by 0.1% on a monthly, seasonally-adjusted basis, according to Redfin.

Institutional Shareholder Services recommended that Two Harbors shareholders vote against the planned acquisition by UWM.
