This has to end with a bad recession if not a Depression.
If you have a 3% mortgage, you will not want to sell if you have to buy your next house at 7%.
The main problem is, and always has been, the Fractional Reserve System of banking. The bank only needs 10% of the amount of the loan on deposit. The other 90% is created out of thin air.
As the loan is paid off, the funds are extinguished. The bank makes its money on the front end of the loan with the higher interest rate payments. ;)
