Federal Open Market Committee Maintains Funds Rate at 0% to 0.25%
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
The Federal Open Market committee today decided to maintain the target for the federal funds rate at 0% to 0.25%. I shared this with a co-worker today and we both laughing joked I wonder if they could lower it to a negative number....We stopped laughing long enough to raise our eye brow and ask I wonder.....

But regardless the reasons this is great news for the Real Estate Industry and buyers looking to buy a home. The decision was based on a still struggling economy and rates should remain low into 2011.
