Earlier today, .....

Realogy Corporation,

the parent company of Coldwell Banker, Century 21, ERA and Sotheby's International, approached the U.S. Department of the Treasury with

an innovative and practical solution to stimulate the housing market and lead to a broader economic recovery.

Realogy proposed a short-term government buy-down of mortgage rates to at least 4.5 percent or lower for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages.

 

The company believes that this would motivate millions of creditworthy home buyers to enter the market.

 

I urge you to read the press release

Let me know what you think??

Larry - what a great blog. Who wrote that? Oh, that's me. :) thanks for reposting or reblogging or whatever they call it. Feel free to do so anytime.

On another note, I am hoping this suggestion will lead the way for government demanding banks either loan or return the money.

It is only helping shareholders and banks at this point.

I don't think I am a fan.  Would they also buy down rates for existing home owners?  What about for people in trouble on their loans?  Should they buy down rates for automakers to sell cars?  Lord knows that the auto industry in general and the American nameplates in particular are in trouble.  And what about for big screen TVs and Blu-ray players?  Retailers are in trouble too. 

It is a slippery slope, and I think we might need to look for ways to claw back over the edge from where we are rather than just sliding down it.
