true about home mortgage costs, however where i am the buyers RUN to buy new houses as the rates are GOING UP, weird but true

i believe it is the desire to 'lock' in rates and avoid uncertainty
as well as partcipating in the inflation 'value' increase of the home they are about to buy...not a simple example, i've been watching the home market, new and used, for over 25 years

rate increases cost more monthly, but the correlated increase in home 'values' offsets the increase monthly cost by boosting borrowing power

at least that's what i think ;)
