Today Dan Green, The Mortgage Reports, explains why so many fed rate cuts may propel our economy into rapid inflation. He does a good job of explaining the fed rate cut impacts with his "Fool in the Shower" analogy by Milton Friedman. If he’s right, it could take a year or so to get there. Furthermore, if Dan is right in his prediction of future inflation, then you can expect mortgage rates to bottom out soon. In an attempt to defend against inflation, banks will try to hold mortgage rates steady even as the fed cuts rates.
What does it mean for real estate buyers? Sometime between now and the next few months may be the best time to buy real estate in history.
America will be coming down from a housing bubble (prices are lower), rates will be at historic low levels, and inflation could be around the corner. IF this doesn’t scream BUY NOW, then what will?
Buyers can buy low, with a super low interest rate, and then ride a huge waive of future inflation = no-brainer, right?
We shall see during the spring and summer markets.
I will keep on eye on the 575 Corridor, specifically Cherokee County Real Estate and will keep you posted through the summer months.

About Powder Springs GA Real Estate
The town of Powder Springs was incorporated as Springville in 1838 in the lands of two Cherokee Indian chiefs, Chief Nose and Chief Ana Kanasta (Sweetwater). Gold had been discovered in Georgia ten years earlier, and the first area settlers came to find gold. They found little in the mines at Lost Mountain and off Brownsville Road. It was at about this same time that the Cherokee people were forced off their land and marched to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears.
The name Springville was changed to Powder Springs in 1859. This name was derived from the seven springs in the city limits. The water in these springs contains some 26 minerals that turn the surrounding sand black like gunpowder – hence the name Gunpowder Springs.[3]
American Civil War history includes a skirmish at Lattermore’s Mills on June 20, 1864, that was a part of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and General Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign.[4]
Powder Springs is home to the McEachern High School, a school that is located on the site of the former Seventh District Agricultural and Mechanical (A&M) School. The late Georgia Senator Richard B. Russell attended the Seventh District A&M School. The administrative building of McEachern High School is named for Senator Russell. Other schools serving Powder Springs include Hillgrove High School and Lovingood Middle School.
