Will Lowering Mortgage Interest Rates Help?

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Will Mortgage Interest Rates go lower? The questions may be how low can they go? If they continue to move down will lower rates help the housing market? Is Unemployment rate to big of concern to help the real estate market?

   The questions have been there, but is this the answer by the Fed? I’m not sure; we have had Historic mortgage interest rates for some time now. The market is moving in the right direction but at a snails pace. The biggest obstacle for home buyers is not the interest rates but the Credit restrictions from the banks. Fannie Mae released their nation survey and it noted 73% of Single family renters say it would be too difficult for them to get a home mortgage.

  The confidence has been lost and interest rate reduction is not the only answer. We need to get Americans back to work. We need to get their confidence back. We need to loosen up some the credit issues holding back qualified Augusta home buyers.
