bp...

One friend of mine was looking at a new SUV, you know one of those really "phat" ones....he was ready to take the plunge till he saw the interest rate on his 35K loan....NO SALE!!! Another friend was looking at new houses....7%...sure....8.875% again..NO SALE..he's staying in old house for bit now.

Another "trend" to watch is the last gush buyers as I call them...rates creep and creep higher till finally they (even JSP) say: "screw it I can't afford this @#$@#$ thing if rates keep going so I'm doing it now"......and the vicious cycle starts over again. This is why I would bet June & July numbers will be rather strong then taper off as the gushers have shot their wad. Bottom line...rates are starting price buyers out of the purchase.

...just a few ramblings..
