Interest Rates Won’t Always be this Low!

With the housing market having successes it hasn’t seen since 2008, it is very likely that interest rates will be climbing.  The American home buyer has gotten use to seeing interest rates at around 4 to 5 percent.  However these are historically low rates and in 1981 the interest rate was 18.45 percent and this can make a tremendous difference in the price of your home.
