They mention a rate of inflation of about 7% for house prices.
Using compound interest that means that they will go up 100% in 10 years.
Sounds about right for a sensible inflationary figure. So ...
1) This puts interestes on loans at about 8%
2) Allowing a margin for profit, savings get an interest rate of 6%
Spot on ... Here we go ... 8% mortgage rates are just round the corner.
But what about all those who maxed out on mortgages 3 yrs ago. There will be a crash, "But we will survive" etc.
