What makes you believe this ??
We think that interest rates will continue to climb until fall 2022. Peak in winter 2023. And then slowly level off in the spring.
If the feds keep increasing interest rates, they'll trigger a recession. If they trigger a recession. They need to lower rates to stimulate the economy.
The stock market is future facing. And as I'm sure you guys have seen. Things have been choppy lately and will probably continue to be choppy for the next few months.
Disclaimer: I don't have a crystal ball. If I did, I've be posting from my yatch in the caribeans. Not from a cubicle :laugh:
How fucked do you think most of the loan owners are going to be in 3-4-5 years once their long term fixed they got last year are up for renewing? Will they be past the rate spike?
The smart ones that accelerated their payments will be fine. They signed for 5 years and with the rates being so low, they should be able to lower their principal balance on their mortgages.
Those that maxed out their ratios and live paycheck to paycheck tho? I assume in 5 years they're experience will be similar to receiving a barbwire enema.
