Pretty, isn't it? It won't last.
The same is true with the extraordinarily low interest rates available right now.
They won't last.
Don't be a spectator. Jump in and get that low-interest-rate nectar while the getting's good.
Real world conditions
- The US has more than $8 trillion in Treasuries outstanding. That's nearly double the amount just three years ago.
- China, who holds much of our debt, is experiencing a real estate bubble, with values up nearly 12% from a year ago. It's economic expansion is slowing, though, and that's going to be a problem.
- Europe hasn't figured out how it's going to solve the sovereign debt problems of members Greece, Portugal & Spain.
The risk of hyper-inflation has not gone away, and no one in the press (other than talk-radio stations) is taking Congress or our present Administration to task for fiscal irresponsibility.
I'm just sayin...

If buyers don't buy right now while the rates are low, they just won't buy!
Joan,
It's suprising to find that there are still buyers out there who don't have a clear picture of their ability to buy, and who are preoccupied with other parts of their lives. Agents need to give a clear call to action. So do lenders.

Mike,
"Don't be a spectator. Jump in and get that low-interest-rate nectar while the getting's good."
Great and timely advice, extremely well illustrated!
Bill
Thanks for the encouragement. I thought about including this photo, with the advice: "Get it before it gets trampled." LOL

I was popping over here to see what eye candy you were bringing me today Mike and here I got wise advice too! The rates are unbelievable, I thoughI'd never see these numbers ever again in my lifetime!!! I certainly didn't hesitate to take advantage of them.
Love the second creature photo along w/ your other title too.
Amen!
Mike,
You really know how to make a point with your gorgeous photography and words of wisdom. It "ain't gonna last!"

Hi Mike - lovely illustration of a poignant point. You come up with some fabulous posts!
Mike - You are still the AZ AR Dude! When I can take photos like the ones you take - then we'll talk! :-)
Mike - I agree. They will be way back up to 5% before you know it!
Great post! You are so right, these rates won't last long!
I have been so surprised that they have remained low for so long... I keep expecting them to climb..
Hi Mike -- Your photos are AMAZING. The colors are brilliant, let alone the composition. I love the metaphor and very true. I once had a loan officer tell me that every 1% rise in interest rates equates to a 10% decline in property values to keep the payment the same with the point being, the risk is much more with interest rates rising versus buyers focusing on a potential decline in values. Future values cannot be known, but when interest rates rise, you know it instantly and that risk is real. No time like the present?
Mike,
Great blog, I am going to re-post it. Have a great day!
