January 31, 2008 -

The Federal Reserve Board approved another .5% discount rate cut for Richmond, Minneapolis, and Dallas.  Effective immediately the discount rate will descrease from 4% to 3.5%.  Homeowners, including new purchasers and those refinancing, are hoping this will have an indirect effect on mortgage rates bringing the 30 year mortgage rate even lower surpassing rates from the boom in 2001-2005.

Interesting release. I didn't realize they could regulate rates in just certain cities.
