Market Conditions
An application for REALTORS®

One of the latest attempts to boost economic recovery was seen in the House on Friday, with the introduction of H.R. 384.

This bill, according to the National Association of Realtors, would require the Treasury Department to develop a program, outside the Troubled Asset Relief Program, to stimulate demand for home purchases and lower property inventories, by making affordable mortgages available for qualified buyers through interest rate buydowns.

NAR President Charles McMillan supported the bill by noting, "The bill proposed by Chairman Frank is an important first step toward launching a real estate recovery. Housing has always led this country out of economic downturns, and this bill recognizes that the key to bolstering the overall economy is creating stability in the real estate markets. With foreclosure relief, improving the Hope for Homeowners Plan, and expanding TARP to support commercial real estate loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities, this legislation will help create housing stability."
