6.24% is soaring? Does anyone remember the 70’s?

A Democrat was president then, silly. That makes it okay.

It’s soaring compared to the 4% rate they could only barely afford when they did the loan.

It seems like we had double-digit interest rates for quite awhile, IIRC. I was not paying a mortgage then, but payments must have been awful.

Willie Green is back on FR. I bought my first house at 8.9% and my friends were green with envy. America has turned into a 50% wussie country... falling all over itself because it will not look where it is putting it’s feet... too busy looking up waiting for the sky to fall. If you lived through catah... you know this is BS!

You mean when they were up to 17%. I was trying to sell my house. I wound up with a $70,000 all cash deal. Just lucky!!
