ParticipantInterest rates will effect home prices based on the level of income from a job that will allow the debt to be reliably serviced.
High rates can only be reliably serviced if the actual dollar cost is low enough in relationship to the income. Thus, high rates in the 1980’s could be sustained because the amounts of the loans were low enough to allow the debt to be reliably serviced/maintained.
Today’s income levels absolutely do not allow for this scenario to take place. If rates rise, prices must come down.
Rates usually rise with an improving economy. I doubt we’ll have an improving economy for quite sometime to come.ParticipantInterest rates will effect home prices based on the level of income from a job that will allow the debt to be reliably serviced.

It’s got a very good long term record and held up well in this current credit implosion. But if uncertainty in the global markets kicks up again, gold could really go off. Apmex has been reliable for me.

ParticipantHe’s a commie and he cant explain anything logically because it’s all BS. So even when he may be on to something, he doesnt know why or for what reasons. Useless.
This round table discussion is really worth a listen. Krugman opens his yap here and shows what an idiot he really is. But the other guys are pretty sharp:

The shortest is month-to-month. So it’s a good indicator of what’s going on real-time in the economy. As more “investors” buy and rent out the properties, this should be driving down rental prices if the previous occupants dont stay in the area or live in a higher density situation. Supply may also soar if the foreclosures are allowed to enter the market. This will eventually happen.
As for speculation vs investing, as soon as the word “future” is used….it’s the same thing. No one knows the future. Things can change. Often do in times such as this. Read Bill O’Neils’ books for a careful historical study of how stock investments really pay-off. It has been my experience that his concepts apply to all investing activities.
