Interests rates are historically low. Bank rate is 1 % ! Prime rate is 3% and all of us know its buyers market !! Compare prime rate of 4 % on 22 Jan 2008.  Do they want to buy when it goes up again !

If we put Lay off factors aside, for those who have a secure job or secure income from business, this is the right time to buy or upsize. They should utilize this opportunity of historically low interest rates and the current housing prices. They should not wait for interest rates and the prices to go up and t hen buy. W...
