HOw can rates be historically low?

I was seeing 4.25 fixed about six years ago. They were historically in the two percent range in the fifties an sixties.

These reporters consider history to be last week.!!

We did 4.37% loans in June. Now doing 5.35 after going to 5.5% after a short dip earlier this month. I hear ads under 5.5, but no detail on points or fees. I think a year from now, we’ll see 6.8-7.0%, with prices similar to now.

Well, savings accounts paid 3% in the fifties so I doubt there were many mortgages being let at that rate then. And it only went up in the sixties.
