Is it Safe to Bet Against Conventional Wisdom? Low Interest Rates, Not Higher!!

In the 1980s, nobody could imagine a mortgage rate below 10%. In the 1990s, nobody could imagine a mortgage rate below 7%. In the 2000s, nobody could imagine a mortgage rate below 5%. Yet here we are, in 2011… and mortgage rates have spent the last month in the 4.5% range.

As long as I can remember, the trend in interest rates has been down. This chart shows the trend clearly…

Could mortgage rates go any lower? Of course.

Where do you see interest rates in the future? How are you taking advantage of interest rate movement?
