Ask HN: Commit to inflated property price or high interest rate?
Would you rather buy inflated property price(up to 30% increase) at low interest rate(2% to 3.5%)
OR right priced property at high interest rate (5% to 7%)?
- chiefalchemist 4y agoIt depends. I'd have to see the total cost of each mortgage. And for the higher rate scenario I might factor in an eventual refinance at a lower rate. Purchase price is not the price you're paying. That's a myth. The aggregation of the payments you're paying to take ownership of the home from your bank over (usually) 30 years is actual price.
