Having just sold a home in San Diego and contemplating selling another, I think the tightening of credit is going to have a large influence. Despite all the problems in the sub-prime market, I wonder if anybody really wants to put the brakes on credit so close to an election?

Well, yes. I think some would like to see lots of problems in the economy, esp as we get closer to the election, almost 2 years away, quite a long time in the scheme of things. After all, as some smart feller said no long ago: "It is the economy, stupid". While many are not happy with the "War", etc, they will get very angry and a lot more displeased if you get into their pocket.

In my view, short of some dramatic happenings in China, Japan etc, we will continue to see flat or a slight rise in mortgage rates, in spite of the negatives we see in the sub-prime market. But what do I know?
