Rising interest rates have hurt everyone’s buying power (except cash buyers obviously), and inventory is locked up because nobody wants to move and give up their historically-low interest rate.

I don't like speculating; investors can carry out their own analysis by following the historical data of the Bank of Mexico’s official Foreign-Exchange Commission.

Like many others have posted, take advantage of today's historically low rates and refinance out some cash or consider using a HELOC to shop for an additional investment.

And, generally, over the long term, incomes and prices will rise.Here's some real historical personal examples of rising prices:House I bought in 1988 for $140k, is worth around $800k today, at it's original 793sf, or could be worth $1.4m if it was doubles in size.

Historically, it has been 2-3%. 

I could be wrong though but this seems more common in Birmingham/Alabama/Milwaukee.Because a lot of the housing in Allegheny County is ancient, the country property records and historical cards are, at best, patchy.

I’d be very leery of making any predictions based on historical data in this case.Once a lender accelerates the note (calling it due) what happens depends on the laws of the state that the property is located in.  

We are already at historic lows for FC, so if we get back to normal, which most likely will happen, will not increase inventory significantly.3.

If the timeframe is say 5 years or less the odds of the bank calling the loan are pretty low historically.

The comment that $400k more is not apples to apples as if the seller took cash now and invested in stocks with a historical 8% return they would have significantly more money in the future.
