Fed Cuts Rates
The Federal Reserve chopped interest rates by three-quarters of a percent this morning, the largest cut in 23 years! Further, this rate decrease was done before the regular meeting at the end of next week, on January 30-31. More on this move by the Fed in another blog.

Heard on the news that the Feds only cut short-term interest rates, which won’t affect long-term/30 year mortgages. That true?

The Fed controls only short-term rates, but the effect of their rate cut will immediately lower 1-year ARM rates, just like the prime loan rate decrease. It will also filter through the system to reduce 15- and 30-year fixed rates over the next few months.
