The housing market is expected to stabilize during the new year, predicts the National Association of Realtors. Some economists cite slowing job growth and a weak economy as suggestions to the contrary; however, NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun believes "replacement of subprime lenders to borrowers with weak credit with government-backed loans" (www.cbsnews.com) will prompt improvement in the market.
2008 should be a fortunate year for investors, say CEO's. Lower prices make this the ideal time to purchase Real Estate as an investment.

Fed Rate Cut to Provide Some Relief to Borrowers
The Fed's December 11 0.25% rate cut to 4.25%, while a step in the right direction, is expected to have little impact on the languishing housing market. Although the move will reduce the cost of loans to borrowers, the chosen increment may not go far enough towards solving the problem. Critics argue that the Fed should have implemented at least a 0.5% rate cut, if they are to achieve the desired effect.
Irwin Kellner, chief economist for North Fork Bank and MarketWatch.com, remarked that "The chief problem is not lack of growth and it's not inflation. The problem is a freeze in the credit markets which is much more serious, and which can only be addressed by a multipronged effort, [including] sharply lowering interest rates."
Meanwhile, the stock market took a hit as a result of the rate cut.
