Plan was to sit on cash and be ready when shit hit the fan.

Sitting on cash sucks, seeing it devalued every day.

I go back and forth over what I should be doing right now.
I agree and hate debt. And at my age a mortgage or car/truck payment is a frightening endeavor.

But…
When John Deere offered me 0% for 5 years I could not pass it up. And when you finance with JD they offer insurance on everything you purchase. This includes the tractor and equipment trailer and over 10K in implements.

Even the insurance is financed at 0% for the 5 years.


All insured for $1,100. For the full 5 years. Holy Crap what a bargain.

I've paid ahead on our mortgage from day 1.
Refinanced about 18 months ago @3%.
I still pay extra monthly, but less than in the past.

Part of me wishes I'd have done cash-out and finished the basement.

Many of us made the point that her best move was take the market cash out of the trash juice house and scale down ahead of the predicable slow down.

Although I believe she is all cash, so any loss will be market equity money and not under water.

2.25% on a 15 year here. Less than a year ago. Now comes the housing crash. Then I can do an addition.

1982. I had a job offer that would relocate me back to where I was born.
I initially accepted, but turned down the offer 1 week later because
mortage rates were 16% (WTH, I was getting 14% money market rates back then).
Anyway, 1983, rates fell to ~8%, and I made the move that year.
A few years later, I had refinanced twice, down to ~5%, and that's
how I ended up on the current house until 2009.

But, really, what's a mortgage?

So far it's only increased 50K in value. That's without any of the improvements I made. Luckily, It was under valued. Lady just wanted out.

Good job

I was going to ask Duce how he could possibly know the details of your deal? And just because interest rates go up it doesn’t necessarily mean your home value will go down. That Duce is always such a ray of sunshine.

Drop in price not necessarily in value.

MORTGAGE RATES, SEP 27TH:

The 10-year was still rising yesterday, finished up 22 BPS at 3.88%.
Today, rising again, at 3.95%, up 7 BPS.
Many predicted the increase, very few predicted how quickly and how high rates are today.

Today, 30-year fixed with Fannie/Freddie at 7.375%, FHA and VA about the same.

I'm so glad I was able to refinance in 2020 at 2.375% for a 30 yr. I also pay extra on principal. The house needs to be paid off before I'm 60.

I refinanced my mortgage at 2.65% the month before I retired in July 2021. I had a chance to pull money from an ESOP to pay off the mortgage or keep it invested. The ESOP has paid off very well, up 22% in the past 2 years and doing well again this year so I’ll keep it there until we have to cash out and will pay off the mortgage then. Other than that I don’t do debt and don’t plan on starting. I won’t be a slave to interest.

The 10-year Treasury Yields sits at 3.98%, the last time it was 4.00%, or higher, was 2010.

While not a 1:1 correlation with mortgage rate, it is a good barometer, and a big influencer.

Many will agree the treasury yields increase due to a lesser confidence in the US GOV vs. alternative investments, which cannot offset the higher returns offers to treasury buyers.

Many current investors that exit the equities will not purchase treasuries, as not their strategy, the will sit on cash until they feel there are new opportunities in the equity markets.

Failure to sell debt will result in offering higher yields, which will affect all consumer debt rates.

I am curious what you think of this: I bought a new home last august, right at top of the market. Only took a smallish mortgage though. I also refi'd home two to a 20 year note on a jumbo. both at 2.75%. Now, I am sitting on debt totaling low seven figures at 2.75%.

Buying at the top of the market, with mortgage rates now rising to Carter levels. What do you think is going to happen to the value of the home that you just bought?
