Quite a bit has changed since the Federal Reserve intimated a couple months ago that it might be finished cutting interest rates for a while. Credit has become  much more difficult to obtain, Wall Street has shook again and they say the housing slump continued in most areas. As a result, the powers that be at the central bank now appear to have changed their minds about the need to drop interest rates again and are about to do that.

The Fed had cut rates twice this year and  Then the problems continued, leading them to suggest that one more cut might be needed.

It is expected the Fed to trim its  rate, now at 4.5 percent, by one-quarter of a percentage point this Tuesday. Some even think there is the possibility of a half-point cut.

How do you think this will affect our market?

For us down south,our season has just begun!This is welcome news!It will be our job to get the news out to the buyers that NOW is the time to buy!

For those complaining...get off your duff and get cracking!

BLR Guy,

No matter how bad things may appear in the marketplace, there are always opportunities for those who are willing to work. 

When the rate drops, you can be sure I will send out an email blast to all the folks in my contact management data base. 

Thanks

That certainly is great news.  How do we convince the buyers, that have been dragging their feet, that now is the perfect time to purchase that dream home? Hey, Gail, thanks for the tip on dragging the smiley.  I am also learning the different tricks of technology.
