Andrew Mooers When I put a contract on my home the interest rate was 18% for a 30 year fixed rate. I purchased it with a VA loan. By the time we were about to close the rate came down to 12%. Just before our closing date, the rate dropped again at 9%. We locked it in and closed. A single digit interest rate was a godsend.

We paid 13% interest on our home. I thought I would choke, BUT we knew rates would come down and we'd refinance

Have never paid higher than maybe 6%. Until we moved to Charlotte, all our property was purchased for cash... top NYCity coops don't allow financing in many cases.

I bought my first home just two years ago, so i do not have any history with personal mortgages... I hope, we are not going ever to 17%.

10.5% in 1979. I assigned that contract to a friend and got out of it.
I saw rates hit 16.5% in the early 80's. The joke at the time was, "buy the house with your Visa card; you will get a better interest rate".

I believe it was around 16% in 1973 Andrew Mooers but then again my memory is fading.
