“At the end of 2010, the interest rate on a 30-year mortgage was just under 5 percent… 4.97% to be more precise. Over the next 28 months actions taken by the Fed pushed that rate down as low as 3.42%. So… wonders of wonders… miracles of miracles… soon we were witnessing the inexplicable recovery of our previously decimated and hopelessly underwater housing markets from coast-to-coast. Stories of streets being paved with the gold of home equity and sprawling rental empires were being passed along from Realtor to mortgage broker throughout our apparent Land of Opportunity… the worst was finally over… everyone said so… even on T.V. so it simply had to be true.”
