State of ConfusionWow…what a whirlwind we are in right now.  Countrywide was on the verge of Bankrupcy and the Feds stepped in and helped bail them out.  I haven’t watched this unfold as closely as a my friend Brian Brady does.  He is known as the Most Opinionated Mortgage Broker.  I listen to him like most investor listening to Jim Cramer on Mad Money.

What I do know…something has to happen now that Federal Reserve Cut Discount Rate to 5.75%.  For a while it was looking like like the rates were going to continue to increase.  This will help the marginal buyer afford the home.  Prices are still coming down in this Real estate slump in some parts of Frederick County but are pretty stable in some areas.  We have an election coming up next year and most people have a feeling of confidence during this time.  I would guess that this will help spark some sales in Real Estate around Frederick County. 

 Here’s some of the activity in the area.  I accumulate these numbers from Metropolitan Regional Information Systems and RealtyTrac.
