In announcing the earnings, Robert C. White, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated that while the Company was pleased with the results, which were significantly higher than the previous year, the Company's returns continue to be impacted by compressed interest rate margins. In order to protect the Association's portfolios from interest rate risk, a significant portion of the Company's loans and investments have shorter maturities or variable rates. The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at historic lows since December of 2008 and the Company's interest rate sensitive loan and investment portfolios have adjusted downward to those rate movements to a greater extent than has the Company's deposit base. However, when rates do rise, the Company's performance should be enhanced by increased rate spreads generated by our ability to react quickly to such movements.
Although economic conditions are still challenging, real estate lending in our local markets has begun to show some signs of recovery. Improvement in our residential real estate markets has occurred primarily because excess inventories of available homes have come down as the market has started to absorb existing product. While sales activity has increased during the current quarter and for most of the past year, it remains at levels below what is considered normal for the Company's markets. As a historically high growth area, relocation sales have typically represented a sizable portion of our local real estate market but have suffered during this period because of limited job opportunities. When the area's employment situation improves, our markets and our performance should quickly follow.
