You are again using historical examples to predict future. Interest rate could rise not because of inflation, but because no one is willing to lend us money. I don’t believe Greek inflation ever topped 3% in recent years.[/quote]
I am not predicting the future.
Some people (such as the original poster) assume that increases in interest rates will automatically cause home prices to decline.
My point is that that this not what has generally happened over the past 50+ years. It does not mean that it cannot happen. But it is not a given, nor is it very likely.
