    It’s going to take something major to turn around a near 40 year downturn in mortgage rates. Trump may be that ‘something major’.

    I really doubt 30-yr mortgage rates will hit 5%. If mortgage rates hit 5%, we may have hit a bottom. 5% mortgage rates could mean we’ve hit a ‘break-out’ and 6% is on the horizon. I’m betting otherwise.
