My IYR made quite some money for me, now I want to keep the profit. That was why I was selling. IYR did not perform well recently.作者: 读读书 时间: 2015-2-11 15:13
好像明白了:10-30yr Treasury YIELD increase, so fixed rate of 15/30yr Mortgage, which will increase fixed cost of Real Estate, reduce the margin of real estate investment, housing is becoming less attractive. Over last year, 10YR Treasury PRICE drop from 2.8 to 1.68 on 02/01, which in turn cause real estate hike over last year. and since 02/01, Treasury price increases, so real estate will drop instead. Is that right?作者: 读读书 时间: 2015-2-11 15:46
i think in anticipation of rate hike later this year (which increases yield of TBond),
makes TBond price drop. Also rate hike will make mortgage rate higher,in turn it will negatively affect real estate as borrowing cost will be higher.作者: 读读书 时间: 2015-2-11 16:28
我看第三遍的时候看懂了,前面半句应该是10-30yr Treasury YIELD increase, so fixed rate of 15/30yr Mortgage, which will increase fixed cost of Real Estate, reduce the margin of real estate investment, housing price will further down and housing is becoming less attractive. 后面半句是对的。
