Those hoping for lower overnight rates got them. "The Federal Open Market Committee has decided to lower its target for the federal funds rate 75 basis points to 3.5%. The Committee took this action in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth. While strains in short-term funding markets have eased somewhat, broader financial market conditions have continued to deteriorate and credit has tightened further for some businesses and households. Moreover, incoming information indicates a deepening of the housing contraction as well as some softening in labor markets. The Committee expects inflation to moderate in coming quarters, but it will be necessary to continue to monitor inflation developments carefully. Appreciable downside risks to growth rem... 01/22/2008

There is mounting pressure for increased limits from a number of groups for California.   We will see if this will finally carry the day, or California becomes a permanent high cost state, like Hawaii and Alaska.   Raising the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limit to $625,000 as part of a stimulus package could help 140,000 to 210,000 families escape foreclosure, increase home sales, and boost economic activity by $42 billion, according to the National Association of Realtors. "We believe that any stimulus package must address housing issues and increasing the conforming loan limits for these two government-sponsored enterprises," NAR president Dick Gaylord said. Congress and the Bush administration are trying to put together a $100-150 billion stimulus package that features mainly tax ... 01/18/2008

The BofA-Countrywide rumor turned into an official press release last night (soon followed by rumors of either Chase or Citi buying WaMu). There are also rumors about, since Moody's downgraded over 30 Countrywide tranches of mortgage debt in addition to the company being near bankruptcy, that the Federal government will stand behind any Countrywide losses. ( Not a bad deal, having the government back up the deal).  Certainly takes some risk out of it...... Bank of America Corp., the biggest U.S. bank by market value, agreed to buy Countrywide Financial for about $4 billion in stock, five months after making their money-losing $2 billion investment. Countrywide shareholders will receive 0.1822 share of Bank of America stock, or roughly $7-something a share. (Not good for anyone who bough... 01/11/2008
