Of course, the rates will have to go up eventually.

Is there a good website to follow to see what 5 year bond rates are and where they are going.

The point of the post wasn't to state the obvious. It was simply to point out a few of the other variables that will eventually determine how much. Yes, Robert, correct…rates will go up.

What's my point here?Well, simply put, as the interest rates go up, the pricing of our homes will go down. In all reality, the position this country is in, interest rates can only go one way. UP.

Kevin,

You make some excellent points – specifically in using care and watching closely how we as consumers utilize our ability to purchase assets with credit.

The cost of borrowing, rising costs as well as our future dependents on our social benefits do potentially risk today’s investment market.

Hopefully, our representatives in government will be more careful with the financial trust we as tax payers and citizens have placed in them.

However, I do believe strongly those making sound investment decisions based on diligence and education will profit greatly from the economic situation and market trends we see through out the country.

Well said.
