No, my phone has been ringing with inquiries on properties, but not interest rates.

However, I have recieved emails from plenty of lenders, informing everyone that the rate the govt gives out will not be translating to our clients, lenders are busy and do not have time to process the surplus of apps that such a drop would generate, and of course the lender does need to make a buck too so they will not be giving out any zero percent loans.

Many think when the Fed drops the interest rate, that it equates directly to the mortgage interest rate.  Not so!

I'd ask Jason E. Gordon  he just posted this morning on this in the Q&A here. Additionally, but what I've heard so far (elsewhere) is The Fed's drop in rates will not have much of a direct correlation on the mortgage rates. But, The Fed is going to stabilize the stock market with a $700 Billion dollar injection into mortgage backed securities. Rates were under 3% two weeks ago, last week jumped to over 4%, but rumor is they are coming back down slowly.

People think because the Feds drop the rate the interest rates are automatically dropping as well.
