Most Californians are still waiting for $2.00/gallon gasoline.  Then I can answer your question although I'm not predicting either will happen anytime soon.

I doubt it. Rates are all manipulated. If the rates get too low, no securities firm will step up to buy bundled non-profitable secured mortgage bonds.

That sounds great, but I don't think it will happen.  I love the gas prices right now.  It takes less than $20 to fill up my little car!

What we are seeing is that buyers will buy a little further away from where they work(with the low gas prices).

How nice that would be but I don't see the correlation. Unless tanking oil prices effects the prime interest rate I don't see it happening.

I think, they will try keeping it all low for a few more months, but after election.....it might be a mess for-awhile. What do you think?

TWO DOLLARS????  CA must stand for Canada 'cuz it's in the mid to upper $3.00s in Southern Cal.

 

As to the interest rate, no.  I don't think they can drop it that low without causing problems for the banks.
