May 25, 2009

Consulting Management Platform | news.glgroup.com

This week we saw residential mortgage rates fall even lower for almost all loan programs. However, the question needs to be asked..Does it really matter at this point in time. If rates dropped into the 300 basis point range would there be a rush by the public to buy new or exiting housing stock?

Residential Real Estate Started this Down Turn - Residential Real Estate will Take Us Out of It Too !!!

May 21, 2009

Consulting Management Platform | news.glgroup.com

Much has happened in the credit markets in the past several years and many things have contributed to the current economic downturn. The road in the rear view mirror is littered with failed policies from the government and from private segments of the econimic system. One thing is certain. The start of this current economic cycle, the tip of the spear that created this crisis, is the collapse of the residential mortgage market. This situation manifested itself in changes to the marketplace spurred on by changes in the Congress and Senate during the 2006 election cycle. During this time the Democrates took control of both sides of the ails. Barney Frank was named head of the House Budget Commitee and Chris Dodd was named head of the Seante Banking and Finane Committee. Both of these men had a major effect on how the morgage market changed from years past.
