What will happen if rates stay above 5% for the next 5 yrs

[Chris Seveney]

I just wanted to post this question, and get opinions on what people think. There appears to be in this form majority that feels interest rates are going to go down significantly within the next 12 months.

Some believe this increase home prices significantly.

So I want to pose a question, what happens if that does not happen and interest rates stay out there more historical of 5% above over five years?

What happens then?

Please note, none of us have any idea what is going to happen but every investor should look at certain scenarios to see how that would impact their portfolio.
