That’s why I am waiting that little while. Some people could end up flat on their asses when something like that happens.

Building materials (lumber esp.) and permitting costs are quite high now too, not expected to go down so waiting only makes things more expensive.

Who is the biggist debtor? The US Govt.

take a look at what is paid on interest on debt. Now imagine what happens to that if interest rates go up.

Is it even possible to raise interest rates?

I think a lot of that debt is short term debt, very volatile, no stability with long term debt.
