Hi elmat, no, I did not notice anything. Very busy with work, bankruptcies increasing due to credit cards jacking up interest rates to 30% and doubling minimum payments. If they were trying to force people into bankruptcy I don't see how it would look any different. Foreclosures slowed down due to government loan modification programs finally getting going. I am finally seeing clients get loan mods not only temporary approval but final deals, recorded in county land records. They're getting fixed interest rates at or below 5.25%, extensions to 40 years. As for us, kids are home for Christmas, we're expecting up to 20 inches of snow this weekend. We refinanced our house at 4.375% for 15 years, still have lots of equity, planning on getting the mortgage paid off before we retire, so thank you, Ben Bernanke. ;^)
