Smart consumers should take advantage of the current mortgage interest rates that are very attractive. Most of the projections show higher rates in the new year.

If the economy continues to grow the Fed might get in all the rate hikes before we hit the 2020 election cycle.Ā  I'll say the discount rate and Fed funds rate will be up by 50 basis points by this time next year.

My Magic 8 ball is inĀ for repairs so I consulted my Ouija Board and it said they will either go up, down or remain the same.

My best guess is that they will trend up since the have been so low for so long...that is no longer sustainable.
