No. This is wrong. There isn't a 1-1 correlation between interest rates and the % of people who get the loan they want. That's nuts.
- jfoutz 11y agoIt's a mental model to highlight a point. if there were infinite mortgage applicants, and the fed change was the only change in the whole universe, there would be a 1-1 correlation. Lots of other stuff is going on, which pushes back.
