Yup, I locked in 6.625% last year November.
And that creates another catch 22. Who's looking to ditch their 2-3% mortgages to sign up for 6-8% to buy a new home?

I grew up living in literally a closet under the stairs. And spent over a decade either on a boat or in barracks/clu/chu.
Never again.
And all of this. I own a SFH now but previous ownership was a townhome. I don't know what was worse, the noisy neighbors upstairs or the HOA that would keep making up random stupid rules and enforce some really werid stuff. I had enough of living in apartments and townhomes, which I did pretty much all in my 20s and 30s. I'm 40 now and finally bought a SFH. As a SFH, I have no HOA (a hard requirement for me when looking to buy a home). I don't need some Karen-led organziation to tell me what I can or cannot do on
my property.
