The cause of the disparity was not immediately apparent. For the year, July sales were down 29.0% in the Boston area, but that was consistent with the Northeast region as a whole.  <a href="http://bostonrealestatemaven.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/july-home-sales-plunge-39-in-greater-boston-27-in-u-s/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bostonrealestatemaven.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9638494&amp;post=1955&amp;subd=bostonrealestatemaven&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Concerned about the slowing pace of recovery, the Federal Reserve on August 10 announced renewed efforts to keep interest rates low. As reported by The New York Times, the Fed will reinvest proceeds from its mortgage-bond portfolio in long-term government securities. For home buyers, it means mortgage rates should remain near historic lows for some time. <a href="http://bostonrealestatemaven.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/interest-rates-remain-near-historic-lows/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bostonrealestatemaven.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9638494&amp;post=1914&amp;subd=bostonrealestatemaven&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
