the baseline is around 6.5% but I don't think most people get that, plus it was up around 7.5% six months ago

the numbers in the meme are definitely closer to what we've seen recently

When I bought my first house - doing so with decent income but pretty bad credit - I did so at 6.25%.

Everyone in the room recoiled at such an apparently high number.
