Do Some Buyers Think the Interest Rates Are High ?

I have heard more than one buyer state that the interest rates are too high. I can't even fathom that kind of talk. With interest rates at their historic lows right now they can't go much lower. They have no where to go but up! When I was in college studying business in 1981, the interest rates on conventional mortgages got as high as 18%, Fha/VA 16.5%. When I started originating mortgages in 1986 the interest rates had just fallen to as low as 10%, sometimes dipping as low as 9.5%. These rates are a gift and a temporary phenomenon to boost the economy. Buyers should seize this opportunity, especially those who've yet to purchase a home, because they won't last. The home prices are down significantly from their highs. The combination of these two opportunities make it a must for every willing and able buyer to buy a home now!
