<prompt> Human: So I hear interest rates are about to rise. At the same time I plan to buy a house with mortgage in next 9 months. So is this a bad thing for me because my mortgage will be more expensive? Or will house prices fall accordingly and it will be a wash? Not sure how to view this. Thanks  <response>: still too early to tell.Dont time the market, buy when you are ready...if in 9 months, the markets change in your favor and youre ready...Purchase..if in 9 months, markets are not in your favor and you havent saved enough money, Dont purchase.
