DearKicking, Don’tbeso down!Themarketshi sandadjustsallofthetime. Worriedabout6.75%?
Let’slookbackatOctober1981whenthe30-yearfixedmortgage ratemaxedoutat18.4%!By1986theratedroppedto9.78percent.A contributoreffectingtheincreasewasthe1970’soilembargo.
A$300,000mortgagewould have been$4,619permonth. That’s withouttaxesandhomeowners’insurance.
Todaythatsamemortgage,at6.75%,wouldbe$1945.79permonth. That’salsowithouttaxesandhomeowners’insurance.
