The higher intest rate will cause buyer to freak out. However, it will be evolutionary.  The local economy is 3rd highest GPD globably at $80K per capital. If we fail locally the rest of the US will be back to Great Recession....

It shifts and changes all the time, if you are not ready to adopt to it you lose. Look what we went through from 2006-2011 and we are still here.

It sounds as if you are trying to stir up fear, the election by itself is scary enough.

That's already happening in San Diego since summer, except rates. We may see an emotional response in November, but the actual affect likely won't happen until December when the Fed meets.

A raise in the PRIME rate the feds charge banks will be the spark that starts another real estate boom, this time not based on Bank of Americas fake money. A predetermined prime rate triggers a situation where banks must pay the feds for money they hold in excess of mandatory reserves. Right now the banks are being PAID not to lend, not to release the money.

As history has repeatedly shown, consumers do not respond to the circumstances most favorable to them.
