Not that I expect to see this in the next few weeks, but what is so unrealistic about it? We are talking about 20-year interest rates that have risen by about 50 basis points in the last three months, by the way…
Unfortunately, I don’t have a crystal ball and am reluctant to participate in interest rate forecasts. However, if we were to be "fixed back" at "3%", I would personally be (even more) worried about our economy.
Maybe I’m overreacting a bit, but all these interest rate forecasts currently bother me because A) no one knows where this is going and B) how long the journey will last – but such statements certainly cause inexperienced people to hastily sign purchase or credit agreements out of fear of rising interest rates – something I have seen more often in recent weeks, and I think there is no need to pour oil on the fire here.
