Our 3.625% we got in 2019 isn't looking too bad now. We were going to refinance when they got down to 2.25%, but due to a matter you can read about in the legal section, we couldn't. Hell, a 15 year at 1.75% was possible at one point. Would have added a couple hundred to our payment and we would have been done that much sooner.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ContrarianIndicator: It needs to burst. The primary driver of the bubble has been socialistic interest rate manipulation. Now that the Fed has quit sticking its thumb on the scales by purchasing $40 billion in monthly MBS, we're finally getting a glimpse of what free market mortgage rates look like. But not the full picture yet, because in order for it to be a free market the Fed will need to dump the $2.72 Trillion it already owns. We're all in favor of privatization right? I am.

Pretty much the worst possible timing for this shit. Our new construction got delayed multiple times from January to a May closing date. The only thing making this possible is the absurdly inflated value on our current townhome.
With my luck the market will crash right before we sell, and have to walk away from the new home. Fuck joe biden |

I have no problem with this. Although its but a drop in the bucket, the fed has to try and stem inflation to some degree.
That this would happen is as plain as the nose on your face. Many arfcommers said "no way"... probably because they decided to sell at inflated price so they could buy at an inflated price. With unceasing inflation plus higher interest rates, demand will drop. Unfortunately, many buyers are going to be upside down on their loans for some time. |

I'll believe it when I see it. Biden has cover to continue extending it or waiving them now. Terrible approval ratings across the board, record high inflation, war, etc. They'll extend the moratorium or forgive them. They won't be the ones letting payments restart before midterm elections. |

If you want things to cool off so you can afford a home, rising interest rates are the only way. Savers and folks that don't overextended themselves will benefit. Your savings account with your emergency cash may benefit from actually earning more then 0.1% interest. Since home prices generally follow a monthly payment affordability model, housing costs should reduce in total price. So if you save for a $500,000 home that is now $400,000 then that down-payment is going to cover an increased net amount of the mortgage. Throwing extra money or buying outright may be a financial positive instead of the negative it is seen at when you locked in at 2.7%. The only people this is going to hurt is the couple with the adjustable rate mortgage who overextended and the folks on minimum wage trying to buy a house they should never bother to look at. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ManyFacets:  housing prices dropping like a rock and curbing inflation would greatly benefit first time home buyers like millennials and the poor.i sure wish i could go back 5 or 7 years and buy a couple more houses. It doesn't help millennials if prices drop 25% and interest rates increase 800%. I'm sure there will be a millennial here and there who can scrape together enough cash to take advantage. Kudos to them. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ContrarianIndicator: It does for the Fed. And not only an end to the $40 billion a month in MBS purchases but they're talking about beginning to unwinding the $2.7 trillion they already own as soon as the next meeting in May I'm underwhelmed by your data... the balance sheet reduction was not discussed yesterday to curb inflation, only raising the FED rate Entire Speech transcript Moreover, the reduction plan is announced to begin "after the process of increasing the target range for the federal funds rate has begun." and "primarily by adjusting the amounts reinvested of principal payments received from securities held in the System Open Market Account (SOMA)" which as we all know... curbing reinvestment =/= legit reduction, it simple slows acquisition Principles for Reducing the Size of the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LnWlf: The contractor business for home repairs/upgrades should be booming for the next few years from all the FOMO home buyers that waived their inspections. No, they won't have the money, the homes will not appraise high enough to let them tap into the HELOC/Cash out refi, since they have negative equity. |
