How could we possibly know?
They are quite low now, so you should expect them to do nothing but go up in the future. They could go up and then back down to current levels over 10 years, but I think it is unlikely that you will see them get much lower than they are today.
You won’t have paid the house down a whole lot in only 10 years. The majority of your payment in the early years goes to interest and very little to principal. So you have a logic flaw there. Your only hope in this regard is that the value of the home increases substantially over those 10 years, and while it may I would not base my financial planning on that happening (that’s what got a ton of people in trouble lately).
I’m assuming you are not in a position to make the 10-20% down payment at this time; if you were I’d recommend getting a bank loan now at today’s rates for a fixed rate, and not have that balloon hanging over your head; 10 years will fly by and if you see rates creeping (and home values barely moving, as they usually do) you are going to feel squeezed.
Best thing you can do is live way below your means for a while and save as much cash as you can, so you can get an 80% bank loan and out of this balloon loan as soon as you can, no matter what the rates are at that time. You will then be protected from future increases, and can always modify or refinance if they later drop.
Whatever you do, forget about your “paid down” assumption and reformulate your plans without that because is isn’t going to happen in 10 years or less.
?…….unchanged from what they are now.
Let me look at my crystal ball, 10%
My guess would be around 8% After looking at trends. YOU NEVER KNOW THOUGH! Plan for the worst…be ready for 12%

The obvious key in mortgage rates predictions is to be fully aware of the most recent numbers regarding some of the more important factors affecting mortgage interests. These include federal and state actions, consumer spending and confidence, the gross domestic product and unemployment.
The numbers here will not lie and should guide the homeowner-borrower on what to mortgage rates to expect in the coming month or so. As in any other activity, planning is clearly an essential part in mortgage management. In planning, mortgage rates predictions should be considered.
Just don’t mistake of focusing solely on mortgage interest rates. If you do this you will overlook other expenses such as discount and origination points as well as closing costs.
Appreciate your site. Very informative writing.
You own a very brilliant blog. I still have one more question How do you handle the increasing number of Spam in blog comments? I really hate it, It wastes my time and I do not like dealing with this every day.

What I want to know is what the “professional investment managers” are telling their retired customers to do about their retirement income? What is being said to retirees that hold these bonds? What will the federal gov do if these start to fail? Bail them out through inflation?
Wow this is hard to find. Thanks for a good posting.
Thanks, concerning the spam – daily manual control. By the time you see the pattern (specially when you run more than one blog) and ist’s easy to handle it fairly fast.
Schöne Grüsse nach Deutschland
