    My last 30 year mortgage was at 2.375. I have since sold that home and never plan on buying in the US again.

      The average mortgage rate in 1982 was 16.04%.

      I also wanted to contribute random remarks.

      Mine wasn’t that good, but 70K at 3.1 is much better than things are today.

      U.S. housing market is fucked.

        It’s not really. It went up quickly and stabilized. Rates are still near historic lows. This nobody is going own a home bullshit needs to stop. It’s just false.

          Yeah, totally reasonable for prices to double, and rates to triple and then housing prices stay at elevated levels and never dip with higher rates. I for one welcome our wall street over landlords with open arms.
