It continues to amaze me how many people actually believe that the government cutting the federal funds rate actually makes the long term interest rates go down. Most of the time the exact opposite occurs.

Hear you. Very counter intuitive though unless you have exposure to long term rates. That and many in the media also misrepresent the impact of this fed move.

Oh, almost forgot. Thanks for the visit all the way from MA. Originally from the area. Parents still live in New Seabury. Wicked cool isn’t it.

Many realtors and lenders are offering sessions to explain to people what all this means that is going on todays market and lending and if it is a good time to buy and for who.
