Interest Rate Chart from Chad Peterson

How long rates will remain this low is anybody's guess. But this chart demonstrates just how historically low interest rates are. Look at where rates were in the early nineties - then look what happened!



We hope this chart provides food for thought for anyone wondering if now is a good time to get off the fence regarding a home purchase or refinance.
