Atlanta, GA Market Update - August 10, 2011

By
Mortgage and Lending with Guaranteed Rate NMLS# 2611 NMLS #151088

Today 's market was once again a wild ride.  The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) released a statement Wednesday afternoon that sent Treasuries and mortgages rallying.  There was no change in overnight rates though.  The committee said state that it would keep short term rates at these levels though mid-2013. 

Three of the twelve FOMC members dissented.  The committee noted that the labor market has deteriorated.  Additionally, spending has flattened and housing is depressed. 

All of this was great new for mortgage rates as we hit 50 year lows today.  These low rates wont last forever, so borrowers needing to refinance or purchase need to do so soon.

Dear Rodney,

Glad to read you enjoyed the Outer Banks! So beautiful there - Atlanta offers so much but not the salt water and the salty wind.

Hopefully this certainty about the Fed rate will equal more success in the RE market.

Have a happy day -
Lynn

Lynn....Not have a beach closer than 4+ hours is one of the drawbacks to Atlanta.  With rates lower than ever, lets hope that stimulates the market some.

Hey Russel,....thanks for stopping by.  Have a great rest of the week.
