In the News.....

With all this recent talking about the state of the economy and real estate; it is becoming increasingly difficult to sort out all the news stories.

Here are a few of this weeks News Highlights:

House OKs Lift on Fannie, Freddie Loan Limits Source: Reuters, Patrick Rucker (01/24/08) and REALTOR Magazine Online

U.S. 30-year mortgage rates lowest since March 2004 Source: Reuters

California loan defaults hit 15-year high Source: AP and CNN.com

Bush, House Hammer Out $150 Billion Stimulus Bill Source: Washington Post

Overall, some good news and some bad news. While Lawmakers cannot agree on exactly what this Economic Stimulous Package will contain; most people expect to get some kind of check from the government.

The one thing we can agree on : Mortgage Interest Rates; love bad economic news.... rates are down!

James, I love the first one. If it goes through, we will be swamped with refis.

Hi James,
If the media would adhere to "if you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all", I think everyone would be much better off.
