1989, I was 20 years old.

Seller financing 12% if memory serves, I know for sure it was double digits.

1982 13%

1973.  It was my 21st birthday present to myself.  It was an assumption and I think the rate was 8%.

I didn't want roommates and wanted stability, so I bought an older condo in my area.  My interest rate was 8.25%, and that was a great deal at the time.

1993; 8.25%  Makes me laugh when people get nervous about 4+%

1978, the interest rate was about 9.75%. We thought it was a good deal. Rates shot up after that.

1979

 10.5

1983 and the interest rate was 13.25% Kinda hard to believe now.

1973 and maybe 5%

1982 - 4 year buy down 14. 13, 12 and 11% with 3 points on an $101,000 purchase with 5% down.  

1979 right before starting grad school - don’t recall the rate but it was higher than now. Highest rate I’veexperienced was 18%

1977, 8%, VA loan

2005. 6.875% and we were stoked. We refinanced into a 15 year about three years later at 4.5% and we were giddy, went out to dinner to celebrate. Then the next couple of years 30 year fixed went far below 4.5% :-) -K  

1980 or 1981 ... interest rates were around 20%. 

We built our home in 2005 at a 4% interest rate :)

1972.... 

I don't remember, exactly....but I'm sure they were in the 4's..... low 4's....

My first purchase was a co-op (never again!) in 1986. Was happy to get interest rate of 10.6%. 

I think it was '79 before the big interest jump.  Mine was around 11%

Long ago... and it was a coop in NYC on Park Avenue... all-cash building... no financing allowed. So no interest rate. 

I don't remember but my second house in 1980 or so was an adjustable rate with a 6 point cap starting at 14.78%. My business loan was 22%, 2 points over prime.

1980 - about 13%

1989 12%

1977 - 9.25%

1979 after my first year in real estate. . . . 

10%

1976 and the rate was 8% and I felt that I was lucky to get it.

1977; $31,000, 11.25%

1974 with a $28,000 30 year loan at 8.5%

In this country it was just 3 years ago. So interest was similar, just a bit lower. 

1996 and the rate was 6.875%. 

1961  6%

'99 & it was 5.75%

1972 - 6.75%, 29 year amortization

William Piotrowski We purchased our first house in 1968. The interest rate was a low 9% FHA loan.

2000 and 7.25% and we were thrilled at that rate.

In was in 39 years ago, and do not remember the interest rate.

1979 at 13%

1987  and it was 14%

2010, 4.89% or so.

1984 & I think 12 or 14%. Not 8% is what I'm thinking that would have been too low.

It was 1978.  I think it was around 7 or 8%.

Decades ago and I don't recall

1995 and 7%.

9.5

2006, with an ARM of 3.99% I do believe. It may have been 2.99%. We got out before the rate adjusted 

1972. It was an assumption of a VA loan at 6%. I remember that first house payment was $105.

William Piotrowski - it was pretty late - in 2001. At 7% then and re-fied several times since then.

1977 and my rate was a whopping 4.25%! I paid $41,500 with 10% down and owc 2nd. The seller wanted us to cooperate with his exchange so we delayed closing but he allowed us to move in. NEVER let this happen to YOUR seller. EVERYTHING started to break and he ended up fixing way too much stuff. I found a real cuties in our historical area downtown but it was $43,000 and World Savings told me I was maxed out at the $41,500!!
