After Fed meeting yesterday Debbie Owens Branch Manager of Guild Mortgage in Twin Falls wrote in a email, ” Had the Fed come out of the meeting stating that they would discontinue the purchasing of MBS, then it would have made sense that our rates would have climbed, and rapidly. However, by stating that they will “phase-out” its support of the mortgage market thus allowing the Fed to test the markets, should allow for our rates to stay at an even and slower climb.” This is exciting for news for first time and for buyers in general. If the first time home buyers credit and the intrest rates stay low it looks really good for sellers and for buyers for now and into the future.
