US Fed Lowers Rate to 1 percent

The US Federal Reserve has just matched a half-century low... they have lowered their interest rate by a half-point to 1.0%, in an effort to settle the current economic crisis. The funds rate has not been lower since 1958, when Dwight Eisenhower was president.



The Fed also stated that they would "monitor economic and financial developments carefully and will act as needed to promote sustainable economic growth and price stability."


What does all of this mean for the real estate industry? Share your thoughts.
