The interest rates jumped up this week. They are now in the mid to high 5 percentage point ranges. This is still a great rate historically but not at the extremely low rates seen recently in the high 4s. It’s hard to say if they will go back down anytime soon. If you had read my memo exactly a week ago, Interest Rates Going Up?, you might have locked in then. Hopefully you did.
I should be getting the deals of the week out tonight. Let me know if you want to be on the list. We just lowered the price of one house by $10,000 that I thought was already a deal…it will be included.
