Carpe Diem MD

Ian Cook of CarpeDiem MD states the obvious, that “the rapid increase in mortgage rates is having a dramatic impact on markets, especially for second home/vacation markets.”

But, what's less obvious are the things to consider during these times (which he explains in great detail):

  1. Rising mortgage rates will depress purchasing power;
  2. Lower property values are a good thing if you're looking to buy;
  3. High gas prices impact everything;
  4. Inflation; and
  5. Know your market.
