You may be part of that "habituation" if you think 6.2% is normal. 6% is more like passbook savings while mortgages over the decades averaged more like 7.5 to 8%. And mortgages typically required a down payment.
I like a 6.2% interest rate. Good and normal.
People are too habituated, too addicted, too mentally enslaved to too low interest rates

Well, they would get you as a neighbor.

What else needs to be known that proves our economy is totally managed? Especially all of the most important parts/industries. The ones EVERYONE needs.

Bond manager Mark Kiesel sold his California home in 2006, when he presciently predicted the housing bubble would pop. He bought again in 2012, after U.S. prices fell more than 30% and found a floor.
Now, after a record surge in prices, Kiesel says the time to sell is once again at hand.
