This is particulary dangerous since it was the worst correction in home prices since two rather nasty recessions of 1970 and 2008 (The Great Recession and financial crisis). This correction occured as M2 Money growth (green line) went negative.


With Fed rate hikes, debt to income ratios are the highest in history.


Home Prices Collapse

Lots of RED INK at Fed!!

Good. The desired result of increased interest rates is to drive down inflation, i.e., prices.

I got some family friends unable to sell theirs. 2 years ago they were flying off the market. This is exactly what Powell was tryna orchestrate. All these high price houses of the middle class will now go underwater as you put the high rates on top of the price run up. It’s almost as if the Obamafag regime is at war with the middle class

when rates get below 6% and they will next year when the dems need to run for reelection you will see housing prices jump. In most markets the people buying are first time homebuyers. the inventory is low and prices are only slightly down because inventory is low. when rates get better the lack of inventory will drive the prices right back up again. Also if bought between 20-21 you overpaid by 10% easy on your house due to demand. so the price crash is the correction that needed to happen.

I am old enough to have witnessed this Fed play several times. Rinse, Repeat, Rinse, Repeat.

Drive down inflation by crippling the economy, that’s definitely the democrat way, we are in agreement. It’s subtly evil, but yeah that’s dems for you.

Prices will correct, but do not expect to see foreclosures on the level of 2008. The stricter lending since then means homeowners are qualified to pay their notes, and the interest is fixed at low rates.

Many are going to be "stuck" in their current note because they do not want to double, or triple their interest rate by moving. Home additions will be popular.

Meh.
I wouldn’t call this a crash and the decline is long overdue.

Heck, last I heard the US had a commercial RE problem. How is the stock market holding up?

This is inevitable, especially with Bidenomics in full swing.

This plays into the techies. Once the recession hits full force, then the magnanimous fed will step in and lower interest rates by a quarter of a point just in time for a small upturn before the election. Money will flow into technology and keeping everyone in their 15 minute towns

In healthy neighborhoods houses are selling over asking price because of the lack of inventory.

Have the student loan repayments kicked back in yet? That'll be a doozy.

This is realtor speak. Translation- "Everywhere was selling great, now only a few desirable places are selling well. Everything is fine."

Yet property value assessments for real estate taxes increased again.

lenders count loan repayments when looking at customers credit. we require a letter from the student loan company stating what payment will be once out of deferment.

Communities need to speak up on these assessments when there is a price correction. The assessors have been on a tear the last few years and need to be checked.
