Will Certificates of Deposit interest rates go up or down in the next few years?

The Fed is still raising rates.  The country is at war (always creates inflation).  Unemployment is low and the economy is booming.\n\nRates will go up.

ok, stafford loans have a variable interest rate. this means that it can change every july 1. it's possible that in july 2007 the rate would drop or that it might rise again. by consolidating, you are avoiding the risk of higher interest rates. but, you lose your grace period and the possibility of the rate dropping lower than it is currently. im a financial aid officer, if you have questions, please feel free to email me.

it depends on your age - if you are young and still working stock and bonds are very god but if you are older you ay want to keep a guaranteed return on investment such as CD's\nreal estate is up and down I dont recommend it

The 30yr mortgage rate will probably not move until the end of April.At that time it looks like it will go up .05% . The sooner you lock in the better.

I doubt it, they raise it when your income rises.  They would have more to distribute to your kids if they got a lump some, because the interest would grow huge i would think.

If you're planning to sell it in the next few months, no, since the costs to refinance would probably more than eat up any savings.  If you're planning to sell in a year, maybe.  Longer out than that, probably yes.

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%.

If you dont plan on touching the money for a while, a CD would be good. They have interest rates around 4 percent.

Most speculation is that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates one or two more times.  This is the amount banks charge other banks to borrow money.\n\nThe bond market tends to be more liquid and more variable about what rates are and react to changes in the economy much faster.  It tends to be unpredictable so I can't answer where it is going.  Lately interest rates have been going up.\n\nAnother answer that says as long as the US is spending more money than it receives, interest rates will rise, is also largely true.

At what interest rate and for how many years?

Yes. Real estate should experience some growth in the next year, but not nearly as much as the last couple years.

Absolutely yes!\nWith all of the "special financing" that was done in this last boom, (interest only, negative am's, ARM's, 80/20's).  They all work if you are in and out quick, few years max, or in a boom market when everything is going up 20-30% a year.  When prices quit going up and are coming down, and interest is on the rise and people barely made the payment when the interest was low. LOOK OUT BELOW!!  \nThere is going to be a crash similar to the one in the early nineties, just wait and see.

Be careful buying right now unless you are planning to live in the house for more than 8 years.  Interest rates are going up and there are estimates out showing a slowdown and even a reverse in housing prices for the next two years.  If you do buy, go with a fixed rate mortgage.

They adjust the rates with inflation.  The measure depends, but you could take a look at their prospectus.  But there's probably a cap, so if inflation goes up 100% tomorrow, your TIPs won't follow that much.
