Anthony and Cleopatra have a dilemma. It seems like a good time to buy their first home but their savings are not sufficient to get the interest rate that Tony would like to pay.

But the price of housing is expected to increase at 10% per year over the next three years. They presently have savings of $50,000 that could be used for the down payment.
