We renters could also be screwed by interest rates dropping to below 5 percent again. That could trigger another wave of buying, coupled with already slightly lower prices, sending prices skyward once again. I fear then that I would forever be priced out of buying a home. Million dollar homes would then be the baseline. Don’t think it couldn’t happen. Did anyone ever imaging that an average house would be 600-700K? If you told me that just five years ago I would have thought you’re crazy. Bottom line, I really fear a drop in mortgage rates and what might happen to prices. I don’t want to be a forever renter.
