When Are Low Mortgage Rates Coming To An End?

By Bob Redtree

What are the indicators?

If you look to most financial publications, you tend to get the same answer that was being given almost 10 years ago. The end is coming soon. There are quite a few factors that come into play regarding these historically low mortgage rates and you don’t need to have a degree in finance to make a good guess. The low rates are still around because the recession still has a hold on the economy. So if you want to answer the question; when are low mortgage rates coming to an end? You only have to look at the general health of the economy.

What do you consider low?

Another factor that everyone needs to keep in mind is their definition of low. For those of us that remember that interest rates were nearly double what they are now before the economic melt down, 6% -7% would still be considered rather low. If you are wondering when the average rate of a 30 year fixed mortgage will climb above 5%, then the answer is you should lock in your rate now.

Best guesses…

There is no good answer for the original question. It all comes down to a best guess and you should reference as many different experts as you can find on the web. So when are low mortgage rates coming to an end? Most economists are speculating that there is no end in the near future to the low rates that we are seeing, but that doesn’t mean that if you need to refinance or buy a house that you should wait too long. Once the market begins to correct itself the process is expected to move swiftly leaving a lot of people with far worse rates than they are qualified for now.
