There are numerous government programs designed to provide low-cost rental and ownership properties to people in all walks of life. Lenders, builders, realtors and buyers all benefit from affordable housing because affordability means an increase in transaction volumes and more money into the pockets of those dependant on the real estate market. <a href="http://www.mysunsetmortgage.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.mysunsetmortgage.com">http://www.mysunsetmortgage...</a></p>aanderson1Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:21:16 -0000http://blownmortgage.com/2008/09/21/market-perception-is-reality/#comment-2522397<p>At last someone who hit the nail square on the head! As a mortgage originator, I have been saying that the major focus for the past two years was to find a way to keep the housing market strong. The think the Fed missed the boat when they started raising rates a few years ago and continued to raise despite the fact that the only thing that was being affected was the housing market! By the time they started to ease, damage was already done! Great post!</p>Jim DierkingMon, 22 Sep 2008 13:42:58 -0000
