What is going on with the mortgage rates

Didier Malagies • April 15, 2024


Rates are moving up now and several factors could be contributing to it, the 1 trillion dollars that the gov't is printing every 100 days could be inflationary. so what I see happening is there will have to be an event that happens to drop rates like we experienced in 2020. We will be paying 1.6 trillion in interest expense annually starting at the end of this year and are said to grow to 3 trillion annually next year. I say rates will have to come down in order for the Gov't to pay the interest expense, kicking the can down the road so to speak. We will have an opportunity to refinance the higher rate we have on our home and also refinance all the credit card debt, installment loans, car loans, and even student loan debt. The probability is great sometime down the road. Continue to watch the videos and when rates do make a significant drop will let my viewers know. Then it comes down to what is the cost vs the savings on a refinance. Opportunities will come just the timing not sure about.
