quote:

Prudential’s Silitch said that a decline in investor interest in U.S. government debt could lead to higher interest rates.
“You could have a very quick spike up in rates,” he said. “It would be good for us in many ways, but it could degrade asset values such as commercial real estate.”



I originally wrote the thread as an econ question about the above quote, but I understand now. Interesting article though so I'l leave the thread up.

Can't comment on commercial, however at some point all this will come to a head. The two schools of thought are

1. If you can buy where you plan on living long term, especially if homes/land is scarce, do so, take the cheap money, and parlay that against future potential depreciation.

2. Wait it out and pay cash when/if interest rates spike/bottom falls out of the market
