Sean Hanniti analyzes how the Fed’s interest rate hike will have a negative impact on interest rates on mortgages and the housing market in Joe Biden’s crater economy at Hannity.
SEAN HANITE: Earlier today, the huge increase by three quarters of a point by the Fed. This is now the Fed’s third increase since Joe Biden took office. Goldman Sachs, for example, predicts that the next two years, 11, maybe more. Anyway, three so far, much more is expected. And as inflation drains savings and pension funds, you’re all watching. You all see it.

Donald Trump predicts it. This harms Americans across the country, especially the poor, the middle class, people with fixed incomes. Two-thirds of Americans now live from paycheck to paycheck. Unfortunately, interest rate hikes are not good for, to put it mildly, property values. Let’s understand what this increase in interest rates means. For example now under Donald Trump in 2020many Americans, they get mortgages with interest rates of about 3%, some even lower in both.

At the time, I was talking about a 30-year fixed interest rate. Now, if you bought a home for $ 400,000, let’s say you put in a 20% discount, your monthly payment on a 30-year loan would be $ 1993 a month. At the end of 30 years, the total mortgage, paid with interest, bought a house for $ 400,000. It will be $ 485,600. You can now increase interest rates by half a point or half a percent. Your payment increases by $ 100, and the total payment paid over 30 years increases by $ 32,000. Another half point. You see an increase of $ 200 every month and a $ 64,000 increase overall.
This is at 4% interest. Now, before today, the 30-year fixed mortgage was an average, well, 6.3 some odd percent. At this rate, your monthly installment is $ 500 more than it would be in 2020. And the total amount you would pay during the loan would be $ 203,000. Go. Now, it’s getting much worse today. Interest rates are now expected to reach 7.5%.
