1972 was when I began my real estate career. Interest rates had just exceeded 7% for the first time. The old-times lamented no one wouild be able to afford to buy a home. 1982, 10 years later rates exceeded 15%, whereby the old-times were correct...
For example... a $200,000 loan at today's rate of 3.75% would be $926 for principal and interest. AT 15% the same loan would cost $2,529. Add taxes, insurance. pmi and you are at $3,000 a month. Besides the payment the real challenge is finding a decent home for $200,000.
$400,000 @ 3.75% = $1.852 for Principal and Interest
$400,000 @ 15% = $5,058 for Principal and Interest

12/1/21 Interest rates were around 2.75%. The Federal Reserve has announced they are raising prime several time in 2022.

NOW might be a great time to decide to purchase your new home.

PS..in 1982 the market I was in went from 225 sales a month in the MLS to 22 in March 1982. A 93% decline. My firm had 4 sales and was #1 of the 41 offices. Average sales price was $53,000.
