ParticipantYeah, I might need to refinance, as unlikely as that might seem. Or I might need to sell. Ya never know.
Plus it’s a matter of principle. “No prepayment penalty” should mean “no prepayment penalty” and not “Oh gosh, you wanted to prepay that much? Well that’s different!”

Participant[quote=tc]Is it possible that rising interest rates would give banks a reason to start trying to get rid of inventory? [/quote]
I think I’m seeing that start to happen, at least on the low end in North County.
The last two weeks have knocked about 10% off everyone’s buying power, including my own. Of course buying power means little when there’s nothing worth buying.

ParticipantYeah plenty of people neglect to turn on their headlights in hazardous conditions. But I think that’s a result of too many “safety” features in modern cars! Think about it … if you have daytime running lamps AND automatic dash illumination, you have no unambiguous visual cues to remind you to turn on your headlights! You can still see the instrument panel, and there’s just enough light ahead so you can kinda see the road.
I noticed the automatic dash illumination thing when I was a teenager in my friend’s 1985 Grand Am. Made it impossible to convince him that he’d forgotten to turn on the headlights. The other problem was that the steering wheel blocked the view of the speedometer between 30 mph and 80 mph due to crappy design. Likewise made it impossible to convince him that he had to slow down on winding roads.
