The last time it was over 7% was in March of 2002 so this is the highest it's been in 20 years

And what was the average home price in 02?

Accounting for inflation and the insane home prices, people won’t be able to afford shite right now.

SDV is correct. As someone in the mortgage industry rates will lower in Q1. The inflation numbers will start to fall here shortly

as UST yields hit new 14yr highs , the value of $OCN MSR's grows by the day ... demand for a refi mortgage just hit 25yr lows yesterday ... keep in mind many mortgages are now over 300bps below refi rates thus may see near zero prepays for many years to come

One thing no one has mentioned is that lower home values plus higher interest rates means that for the same amount of payment each month, the lender gets more of the pie. High home prices and low rates mean that more of the money spent is going to individuals who then spend it in the economy.

This is how you get inflation, in addition to the inflation affecting the home price.

The more accurate statement would be that your 2.625% is extremely low historically

I'll take that bet.

FOMC will raise rates by 75 in November and then again in Jan and 50-75 Feb.

ETA: Besides that, they will like have to sell some of the securities they own to remove liquidity in the system which will likely push rates even higher.

I understand the historical significance of 2.625. That’s why I paid 20% down on a 30 year note and bought when I did. I also understand that we’re staring down a 200% increase in that rate by Q1 2023. Don’t try to convince any prospective home buyer born in the late 70s or early 80s that 7.15% isn’t high. It is high.

Exactly - I honestly don't know what these other posters are smoking. They obviously don't listen to the guidance that the FOMC gives which outlines what's in store post mid-terms. Nothing whatsoever suggests Powell won't continue to raise a min of 50 bips at every FOMC meeting for the next 6 months.

Do you know the difference between coupon and effective rates on a mortgage note, MBS rates and the fed funds rate?

I think you misread his tone.

I believe he was saying the rates aren't that high (ie, not really 7.15%)

I'll be damned, look who it is. I haven't see you since about a year ago when you falsely claimed that the word "transitory" was an old economic term and perfectly described inflation. Do you remember when I had to school you that it was an arbitrary made-up term by Bernanke in 2012? Do you also remember when I had to correct you that there wasn't one single interest rate hike in all of Obama's 8 years? It's nice to have you back asking stupid questions again. Shall I find that thread from a year ago so everyone can have a little laugh at you? I honestly forgot about your dumbass. Welcome back.

Are you trying to imply that the FFR won't drive mortgage rates?

Not excusing Biden of anything but when I first started in the Mortgage business many years ago that rate was low.


That’s cool and all but you could probably get a decent house at 100k. What do you think you will find at that price now?

That's his game. He's gonna respond with the effective yield formula and try to play kabuki theatre with you, all the while you have the ace in the hole with knowing exactly what the fed funds rate will be at 75 bips per meeting over the next quarter. He's an imbecile. I took him at face value and became dumber for trying to reason with him.

Well inflation drives the mortage rates

So if it wasnt out of control we would have been high 3s

And why it will lower in Q1 probably March

Obviously you arent the brightest

Rates are not at 7.15 maybe retail or low down with low fico on a purchase

As predicted
Hopefully this starts the spiral towards 5% mortgage rates
