I was surprised to see that 1998 enjoyed the lowest rates during the past 30 years. Mortgage competes with other long term debt instruments, such as treasuries. This ties in with all kinds of global fund flow issues. Just think what would happen, or would have to happen to the global financial markets, if some fanniemae or freddies hit the market at, say, 5%?

Residential real estate is highly dependent not only on employment but the quality of employment. Are we finally at the stage that unemployment would finally discourage signing the loan docs on that huge mortgage?

What is really strange FRE and FNM are finally showing signs of weakness but the most exposes companies, such as RDN and MTG are still going up, why?
