Nationally, 80 percent of the market is with adjustable rate mortgages, he said. But he says ARMs are not for everybody. We tell everyone, dont get caught in a trap, with a mortgage payment that could jump as interest rates go up and exceed their ability to pay, he said. ARMs are good for some people, he said, but a lender wont go on line with a fixed rate as long as the federal deficit is so large and interest rates remain high. Interest rates are still too high, he said, adding he doesnt expect a change in adjustable rate financing until the county gets a good line on the national debt and the deficit. During an interview with The Tribune Tuesday, Mr. Moore said he and Mr. Wallace will talk with Utah realtors Wednesday morning at a rap session and discuss the national group's stand on issues. "Were in a tough, complex industry, Mr. Moore said, Its not for everybody. He noted there are about 630,000 members in the national organization, down from almost 700,000 just a few years ago. When I talk to realtors in the region, Im talking to people in the business and what they have to do to survive, he said. He said 1984 has been a good year so far, noting it has been on about the same level as last year, which was a good year for the industry. But he admits things could be better and the NAR is concerned about the high fedeal deficit, which has to borrow money from the same pool of money as the housing industry. However, he doesnt think there will be much change soon, and he in- dustry will be livng with it for some time. 231 -- ACRE RIVERFRONT ESTATE Beautiful 6,000 sq. ft. residence near Rexburg, ID with one mile fronting on a fork of the Snake River.
