Can't justify going from 3.25 to 4.25. That's 25,000 per 100,000 financed. So 500,000 home will cost me $125,000 more over the life of the loan (if not paid off early). Yea 1% fucking matters.
Ive been house hunting since fall, 1% is an extinction event for those plans, its simply outrageous. And its based on total and absolute vapor. People saw this coming and bought houses before shit went nuts and somehow that translated into 'oh apparently everyone has jobs now and can afford to buy houses so lets raise rates because we arent on fire and everything is fine'.
And because that koolaid is well fucking drunk, we can expect rates to hit 4.75 before the blood dries.
Anyone rocking an ARM should be on mandatory suicide watch.
Also real fucking talk I wonder how many of those home sales were Chinese investors looking to diversify from bitcoins...
