how will interest rates change in the next 5 years?

Although it's anyone's guess (even experts can't predict interest rate levels with any consistency), my bet is that the trend in interest rates will be upward, principally due to continued inflationary pressures (energy costs and growing economies worldwide, e.g. China) and the demand for funds by the U.S. Government (war, disaster and medicare costs).\n\nThis prediction does not preclude some major shock which might cause the Federal Reserve to pump money (liquidity) into the system, thus lowering interest rates temporarily.\n\nIf I were planning to lock in a fixed rate mortgage rate, it would have been a couple of years ago.  If I had not yet done it, I would lock it in now.\n\nThe basis for my prediction is an a 25 year career in investments, principally focused in fixed income (bond) investments.

When interest rates are going up, avoid long-term bonds.  You might want to look at I Bonds as the rate will vary every 6 months.

Marginally higher interest rates and, initially, much lower cost of housing with stabilization in the next 5 -10 years.

it really depends on how the interest is compounded but most likely about 16 years

Hi there\n\nThat is a tough question, no one can give you an exact and correct answer.\n\nHouse price inflation has and will continue to fluctuate, the future increases are always a matter of debate.\n\nYou need to consider local factors, such as will there be any new infrastructure enhancements - positive or negative - that will affect local prices?\n\nTaking a personal view i would see house price inflation slowing through this year and next, close to zero in years 3 and 4, and then starting to pick up again.  \n\nIf we assume 5% this year, 3% in yr 2, 1% in yr 3 and 4, 5% in yr 5, then the total increase would be about 16%, e.g. the house would be worth about £116,000.\n\nAs I say, this is a personal view, and you also need to take account of local factors as mentioned above.\n\nI hope this helps.

you could wait until 2050? inflation by then will probably make 250K not v. much. :)

100 Rs become Rs 200 in 8 years if we add 12.5 Rs every year. So rate of interest should be 12.5 %

the interest would be the same if you got the same interest rate, because the loan would be the same just divided. besides you would probably have to pay closing fees again, also new loan fees.\nif you want to pay your loan off faster increase your payment, most of the first 5 years of payment goes to interest, by increasing you payment by $5.00 a month you would pay off much faster. by paying  half you payment twice a month it would also pay off faster.\nI just noticed that you have an adjustable rate mortgage, historically mortgage companies raise the rates as fast as they are allowed to according to the contract, a fixed rate at a half percent more would be much safer, and you need to check to see if there is a prepayment penalty, that is pretty standard.

I think there is a lag in new home sales and the closings in October really were under contract in Aug and September, thus November numbers should be down dramatically even after seasonal adjustment. Rates will undoubtedly go up again at the next meeting, but with the advent of so many new mortgage products (interest only, reverse mortgage, etc.) money is still relatively easy but definitly more risky. I expect volume levels to slow, prices to flatten across most of the US but do not see a big drop in prices unless rates get above 8%.

With the Federal Reserve likely to raise rates again this week, it will affect mortgage rates.  But a swing of more than 1% over the next 2 to 3 months is highly unlikely given the history over the past 5 years.

Yes very sooon in a matter of 5 to 10 years

I think most people don't really take into account the current interest rate when saving.  Even though they have gone up, they're still pretty low, if you look back at history.\n\nI might be enticed into buying some long-term bonds if they go into double digits, but by then the economy will look a bit strange.\n\nPersonally, I haven't changed my habits from the rise in interest rates.  They're still too low to worry about right now.

I think they are all pretty much offering a rate of 3.5 if you look online. I suggest you consolidate or refinance before June 1st. Here in CT the rates are about to go up to 7%
