Interest rates over time

Real Estate for Social Good

Interest rates! 😱😱😱

They’ve been in the news a lot lately.

And there’s a lot of fear of buying with a high interest rate.

I wanted to show you a graph of interest rates over time.

Look how rates were up to 18% in the 1980s!

Now I’m not an economist, but interest rates are cyclical, just like the economy and the housing market.

What I do know is that we are seeing a lot more price drops lately ⬇️⬇️⬇️

And with rates increasing, our buyers are looking at lower purchase prices than we were seeing a year ago.

So if you are feeling discouraged about buying, it’s not too late.

It’s nice to be able to lock in a lower purchase price if possible during this economy and eventually you can refinance whenever rates go down again!

If you have questions about buying in this scary market, give me a call! 👻👻👻
