Welcome To

Mobile, Alabama's Home for Results, Commitment, Skill, and Expertise!!!

My name is J. Steven Roantes. Having lived in Mobile, Alabama for an extended period of time, I am aware of every happening and every nook and cranny of this town. With that said there is nothing in the Southwestern Alabama Real Estate World that does not pass in front of me or in some way affect the course of my business.

Mobile has been protected from the crashes of other housing markets. Not to say we have not been affected by the National Economy, our economy has just taken a smaller hit. Resiliency is synonymous with Mobile's rich and diverse history, both economically and socially. From the beginning of our city's colonial history in 1702 until now, Mobile has continued its legacy as being the Southern United States' success story. With a Metro Area population of over 540,000 residents, The Greater Mobile Area has housing choices for even the most finicky of tastes. From plantation style mansions bordered by Tree Lined Avenues to the quaint cottages on the hill, there is a home for everyone in this bustling Gulf Coast Metropolis.

Now as a REALTOR in Mobile, Alabama, I am able to see this same sight again and again. During this crucial time, I am the one who will be right there beside you through the process.

Fed Will Keep Key Rates Low

When the Federal Reserve ends its meeting on Wednesday afternoon, it is almost certain to leave the key rate at or near zero and pledge to hold it there.

That makes it likely mortgages will stay historically low and rates on home-equity and other consumer loans will hug 3 percent.

But it is unclear whether the Fed will continue some programs that have kept mortgages and other consumer debt even lower than the market might expect. One such program involves buying U.S. Treasurys. The Fed is set to buy $300 billion worth of Treasury bonds by the fall. It has bought $235 billion already this year.

"I think they'll let it expire. It seems the mood turned against Treasury purchases in the last couple of months, and there's been some skepticism whether it has worked in bringing rates down," says Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Economics.
