Interest Rates Set to Rise to 9% in 2023

To those who are waiting and waiting and waiting...Given 2023 projections are even higher, this week's rates around 6.8% seem low. And don't forget that is is pre 2007 interest rate levels. The 30-year fixed is around 6.8%, while a condo 30-year fixed is more like 7.2%. It's interesting with the rate of inflation around 8.5% currently (lots of economists say it's more like 12%), housing is still considered a hedge at the moment, particularly income housing since rents are NOT dropping.

And remember, you can always refinance! Oh yeah...
