  • I agree that if you're going to buy... buy now... but at what rate do you think it will climb?

    personally, I think it is a stupidly risky "investment" idea. You have to lay out hundreds of thousands of dollars of wealth for a potential payback that is probably about the same as any large mutual fund.

    the avarage interest will be as it was in the early to mid 90's,about 6 to 8 % and AA credit may get you a 5.75% interest rate.

    Wow. I bought mine 5 years ago and I believe it's now actually worth a bit more than what I paid.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Just to hedge the housing prediction...

    There may be a moderate increase in housing in 2012 (particularly towards the end of the year), but I would not say it will be substantial anytime within the next year (even September). Basically, a huge extended upturn in housing, in my opinion, would be synonymous with impressive sustained economic growth. This won't occur anytime soon, and in fact, there's a lot of risk we could actually fall into recession (as Europe will in the next month or so). But, for arguments sake, let's say we did have substantial economic growth,... the Fed would respond quickly (violating their pledge to keep low rates) and we would see a substantial increase in interest rates. So, that increase in interest rates would curb a huge jump in housing. This is why I can't see a large jump in the housing market happening any time soon.

    Instead, we should be realistic and hope for a slow sustained recovery in housing. Perhaps, this could really start to get going in September, but I doubt it.

    My prediction:

    The EU will fall into recession within 3-6 months (or they are more than likely already in recession).

    China's growth will continue to slow substantially.

    (the above slowdowns will reverberate throughout the global economy)

    ...this will affect the U.S., which will also fall back into recession, or have growth south of 1% at some point within the next year.

    We have to catch up with all the foreclosures and short sales too.
    I have a feeling there will be a whole new crop of these coming soon, or a second generation/wave of foreclosures.

    I don't think the banks are even caught up on most of them from the last 2-3 years.
