> We've had rates at near zero for years now

What? Avg interest rates for 30 yr right now are 7%. In what world is that "near zero"?

Maybe try going back further than a year, my guy.

Okay, how about since 1971, my guy.

The lowest they've ever been in recorded history was during an unprecedented pandemic, and even then the lowest average for 30 year was mid 2s.

Absolutely no one worth their word would categorize this as "near zero for years."

You continue to show how uneducated you are, as you post a wikipedia article about Japan's interest-rate policy with a note about what the Fed's position was after The Great Recession. Moreover, you're comparing the fed's rate vs mortgage interest that a consumer exposed to which are not mutually exclusive.

Why don't you speak to any of your successful friends, or anyone who has worked in finance/accounting, if they think a 2% difference in mortgage interest is significant or not :]

Not only a pussy, but also showing signs of a brittle ego. Keep it up!

Literally in the very first paragraph. Embarassingly schlubby

> conditions with a very low nominal interest rate,

Very low nominal interest rate. C'mon schlub.

Explain to me why you think the central bank's rate is the same as what a mortgage rate is

English is hard for you, huh?

In a conversation where everyone is speaking about mortgage interest rates, and following the very sentence when you call out mortgage interest rates. Colloquially, and properly in the English language, there is a correlation between sentences in one paragraph.

If that wasn't your intention, then you should work on your grammar.

Does all this thinking hurt your whittle brain?

You know the interest that the Fed sets has an effect on the mortgage rates, right? Very schlubby.

Yes but it's disingenuous at best to relate the interest rates the fed sets to what a consumer's mortgage interest rate actively is.

Your comment was that [mortgage] rates have been near zero for years now, which is objectively wrong. Show me any consumers who have a near zero mortgage interest rate.

Honestly, you kind of come off as someone with a mental disorder or some level of autism so I'm not continue to make fun of you.

How brittle you are makes it too easy.

Dawg, it is literally tied. You are arguing semantics, which is super schlubby.

Something being tied =/= something being mutually exclusive.

Your statement is objectively wrong, I don't know how else to say this.

Have a modicum of self-respect.
