Professor Raphael Bostic was interviewed by KFI-AM about the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac takeover. The federal government stepping in will mean more stability in the market and probably a drop in interest rates for some home loans, according to the story. "For California, it will be a good thing," said Bostic, director of the Master of Real Estate Development program at SPPD. "[W]ith the recent increase in the loan limit for Fannie and Freddie, a lot of homeowners will have access to those cheaper mortgages."
