A question for some of your mortgage gurus. In your opinion, how long do you think the interst rates will remain as low as they are? I am looking to buy my first home, with a VA mortgage. I am trying to fis up a few baddies,a dn I was wondering if I will have enough time to pull this off. Any feedback would be greatly appreicated.
Is "it depends" an ok answer
Rates are going to be, in general, lower than historical averages for a bit here. By that I mean we're not in the normal mode where a refinance boom is followed by a period of sharply (like 2%+ jump) higher rates. That would require the economy to take off and that isn't happening right now.
For today's absurdly out of context 6-week stay at the lowest rates ever, that already looks like it is starting to cross over and that rates are trying to move higher. All technical signs say the rally is ending. Will rates be 4.5% forever? Absolutely not. It's a powder keg needing one spark. What no one knows if that is today, next week, next month, etc.
I appreicate the pretty direct answer, well as direct as a guess could be. Again thank you!
Good luck on the credit fix. You're in the right place.
If your credit recovers before the economy does, you're in a good spot. As the economy goes up, so do rates, home prices and rents.
