mindmeld, I am not I can agree with you on that.

I understand what you say but the AVERAGE person who are buying homes (not all now... but the majority) plan to keep them for a lot longer than you do.

250k financed over 30 yrs at 6.75 = $583740 with 333740 being interest and monthly payments of $1621

250k financed over 30 yrs at 6.25 = $554304 with 304144 being interest and mthly payments or $1539

Now if they think it is going to go down another 1/2 point(which is what everyone in the market has their HOPES pinned to)

250k financed over 30 yrs at 5.75= $525214 with 274214 being interest and mthly payments or $1458

Quite a difference.

It's when most people don't care about interest rates
that we get in troble.

My Son just went for a new house too..
taking on a lot of long term debt..and it
may work out , I sure can't tell; but he is
on top of the world right now and has
already made more money in his short
life than I did in all of mine so I'm not
about to talk him out of it.

I can only say Good Luck with it,
and I mean it as if you have good
luck we all will.
