[quote="Guest"]The Federal Reserve's aggressive half-point cut Tuesday could provide support for a slumping housing market. A quarter-point drop had already been priced into the market for Treasury bills and other instruments tied to mortgage rates, according to Richard DeKaser, chief economist for National City Corp. The deeper cut means mortgage rates may have a little more room to fall, giving support to prices. http://biz.yahoo.com/cnnm/070918/091807_low_impact_rate_drop.html?.v=11&.pf=loans[/quote]

It is that there is not enough money available for making loans. <br /> <br />"The liquidity problem hasn't changed," Gumbinger said. "The primary issue is trust between buyers and holders of debt."
