Active and higher. That’s it, that’s my forecast; housing markets will be active and interest rates will trend higher. The question of course is how active and how much higher, so here you go:
Since what I do is all about finance and interest rates, people tend to assume that I know what is behind the doors with the signs that say “Interest Rates” and “Market Trends.” Truth is I am no better at handicapping interest rate and housing market trends than anybody else. I watch every day, I absorb what is happening, I make assumptions and I roll the dice just like everybody else.
Real estate agents dominate my cell phone and Outlook contacts. I am a mortgage guy and real estate people are important if I want to do things like pay bills, eat and maybe save for when I am too old to do this anymore. The technical term for mortgage “guy” is “originator.”
