It’s bad to discourage saving money.
The flip side to low rates that no one seems to care about.
Low rates makes for a more consumption-driven economy, not necessarily a good thing.

No, probably lows might hit 4.

Those rates were not based on reality.
We only got them because of government interference
Will the government interfere again? Maybe.

No. It was an historical aberration.

Not until all of the Millennials are in their prime earnings years.

Not likely. It is possible, but economic conditions would have to tank.

we bought our starter home in 2019...starting to think it'll be our forever home... good thing we love it lol
I can't imagine buying a house and thinking, "yeah, we'll probably sell this in 5-10 years and get a bigger one" anyway. The whole "starter home" thing was mostly a figment of real estate people's imagination.

Forever car interest rates were 0

Probably not. By historical standard we are now in a fairly low rate environment.

shite in economy blows up every 10- 15 years, you'll have sub 5% rates in the next decade
Three catastrophic market events this century already. Recessions hit about every five years on average since WWII. Although less frequently since 2002.
Rates will likely be below 5% in the next five years.

If another Great Depression, WWIII, or pandemic then yes

Not sure how they can get lower. I have three paid off properties and my other two are refis into the 2.75% window that I will never sell. I could retire today and live just off my rentals.

Maybe if something shuts down borrowing, lending, and the economy in general (outside of government spending) for the better part of a year.

Not unless we have another crisis. It is not good for them to be abnormally low. There has to be a happy medium.

I think all women think this way now.
Totally ignore the closing costs, commissions, repairs made etc...
"We made $20k on that house!"
Yea, and it costed you $50k to do it.
