Hopefully the fed will keep buying mortgage paper and treasuries and moves rates under 4.5%. As we past through 5% we have hit the point to make it compelling for people to buy homes. The market can repair itself with these rates and truly available morgtgages. I believe the fed is committed to do this, I been blogging to 6 months for this to happen and it is. It is a great time to buy historically. I see it perking up already. Some areas of the country are setting high volume records!
