Although I’m not predicting it, I wouldn’t be surprised if rates on a 30 year fixed went up to 8% by the end of 2010. As rates go up, fewer people will be able to afford loans, and housing prices will remain stagnant.

Well higher interest rates and same housing prices(kind of impossible) – at least in San Diego high priced areas is unlikely. Guess what!! a 600K house with 4.5% mortgage a few can look or a couple may go for buy now,, but with 8% none even think about this prices range, except Rich – but economy wouldn’t built with Rich in general.
