I am ready to buy an investment, but I am thinking I should hold off until interest rates rise by 1% or more. My thinking is that the prices will go down as people hold back on the factor that repayments will up and hinder their cashflow. The flip side is that of course at the moment interest rates are very low, which means if I buy something now it will be easier to service. A question for someone who have gone through an interest rate cycle or more, when is the better time to buy something, during high interest rates when prices are depressed or now during low interest rates (which have seen prices rise)...or does this not matter at all?
