I agree about renting. However, no way they are going to find a rental until at least April, maybe May.
However, your take on interest rates is wrong. In a year they will at least 1% higher, and I am guessing worse than that. Inflation has taken hold. Believe me, I am a supply chain manager, and every day is a new price increase - raw materials, labor, and transporation are all going up, and not slowing down. This is what happens when you increase the money supply by 40% in 18 months and keep sending people money for free.
