Don't know whether it's worth pitying any poor sap who get suckered into Jaymans promotion or not.

Sure, everything is peachy as long as interest rates stay at record lows, but there is a reason those are known as "Exploding ARMs".

People should really ask themselves why a builder is offering such teaser rates... and if they don't come to the conclusion that they want these units off their books before the market declines further, I guess they'll get what they deserve.

People are not going to buy or borrow if they feel that their job in not secure.....regardless of the current low rates.

And, rates are going up.....watch US treasury bonds for your indicator.....they have gone up from 2 to 3% in roughly 30 days. And they are only going to go higher....which means that our rates will have to follow if we are going to attract anyone to buy our debt, in the face of higher US rates.
