"People have been been paying too much attention to the shape of the curve as opposed to the fact that real rates are still negative" Certainly perceived low real borrowing rates is the mentality by many. Borrow at 1%, accrue interest at 5% and inflation in property values at 20% seems a given if you are 25-28 years old and your only view as an adult is what has transpired the past 2-3 years in your market. Is it a coincidence that is the age of the leading edge of the echo boom. Comparable time period for when the oldest boomers where in that age range would be 1973-74?
