This analysis is all moot if you believe that we are in a era of quasi-permanent low interest rates. Look at Japan … consider the mortgage rates over the last 20 years or so. With the government picking and choosing what it wishes to call “inflation” and the fed with access to the green B-52’s and Apache’s there is no reason to “expect” higher interest rates. Yes, it is possible but I see no reason to “expect” them. I personally think it is a lot easier for the gubament to drop rates than it is to raise them and the free market hasn’t set interest rates for a long long time.
“Better to have bought near the low, so that you are always able to sell at any point in the future.”
lol – no offense CA renter but that quote gave me a chuckle … 🙂
Actually, in this day and age it is probably best to put as little as your own money into a home purchase as possible so that you can give it back to the bank at any point in the future …
today, i kinda lean toward pemeliza. interest rates will remain super-low until things are fubar. nothing will be controlled or moderated moving forward. everything will be barely under control.

pemeliza, I don’t think it’s moot at all. All I’m doing is run some calculation based on a set of assumptions. Since there are many different variables w/ many possible assumptions, ones number would change drastically. I found that some people can’t run their own numbers, so I was just trying to help them out. If they have different assumptions but can’t run their own number, feel free to post the assumptions and I can run the number for them. It’s not that hard or time consuming. Just my little contribution to the site.
