    I have seen the mortgage rates I am looking at go up over 1% in the past few weeks. This has got to add lots of fuel to the fire of falling prices.

    This is starting to convince me to pull out as a buyer and wait another year or two and just rent until things stabalize more. Instability is getting stronger. I have a lot of flexiblity, but with rates going up, the knife is falling faster, and a cut in my hand may turn into amputation.

    I was wondering when you and others here who are active looking to buy would finally come to their senses. Good choice. You will be glad you waited.

    I agree, rates plays a huge role in how far this thing will fall. That’s why I think it’s crazy to say x home will fall to x price w/out taking rates into consideration.

    Wait, so what exactly was the changes in rates? 5.5-6.5%? 6%-7%? I am just curious because I am NOT in the market to buy in the short term so dont check rates very often. I think that most of my information about rates comes from the littel ads on CNN.com and such when you click buisness or RE links. I dont take these serious, cause you and that guy who just won the lottery in BFE are the only ones who qualify for that rate, but it is interesting to see what they are saying.
    Any ideas why rates are going up when everyone knows the FED is gonna cut next week?
