Fed cuts target for key rate to record low

Fed's Cut Rates

The Federal Reserve has cut its target for a key interest rate to the lowest level on record and pledged to use “all available tools” to combat a severe financial crisis and prolonged recession. The central bank on Tuesday said it had reduced the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, to a range of zero to 0.25 percent. That is down from the 1 percent target rate in effect since the last meeting in October. Many analysts had expected the Fed to make a smaller cut to 0.5 percent.

Seattle real estate rated No. 1

Among major metropolitan areas, Seattle’s real estate is the best in the nation as a prospective investment, a national report released Tuesday says.

On an eight-point scale reflecting investment value, Seattle was ranked 6.2, according to the 30th annual study of emerging trends in real estate from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute.

That ranking reflects averaged ratings by more than 600 surveyed real estate professionals, who assigned a number of 0 to 8 to each the nation’s top 10 regions. The better the location for investment purposes, the higher the rating.

“It’s saying a dollar invested in Seattle real estate would be more likely to yield more than a dollar invested anywhere else — but it says nothing about how much the yield would be, or over what time period,” said Rick Kalvoda, a PricewaterhouseCoopers director.

Signs of Fall

“Leaves by Elsie Brady”

How silently they tumble down                                        
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.
