Yes they were. We bought our very first home during that time and the interest rate was at 13 1/4%.

<<Weren't home mortgages right around 16% during the Carter years?>> During those years my dad and I put some money together and bought a jumbo CD, paid 18%. The S&L called me telling me I should cash in part of that CD and pay off my $20k home loan that was at 6.75%. I bet they had bridges for sale too.
