The economy (including housing) is fricked. Got it


Worse than '07-'08




Look, I know that this is going to be a devastating period for a lot of families and young people. But we had to do all this to save the people in the nursing homes. What choice did we have?

In short, this means that we may see a housing crisis worse than the subprime collapse of '07. Experts estimate that 15 million mortgages will be in default at some point within in the next 2 years. Default does not mean all of them will make it to foreclosure because there are some programs out there to assist that didn't exist in 2007.



Bought a townhouse in February. Great timing.

Yea you might lose some value on paper. Just don't sell until the market recovers. Rent it out if you're still upside down in a few years when you're upgrading or moving.

Yeah, unless I lose my job, which I'm pretty sure I'm not given I got a fricking raise this week. (I was shocked given the virus), I'm not selling anytime soon. But I am in the construction industry, so this news in the OP is not good for me.

Dude, just watch. The Federal Reserve Bank will step in and buy all those toxic loans from the bank.

Too bad you'd have to be a fool to want to live there

But I'd imagine that region has to be absolutely decimated

Lafayette too.

When oil dipped 3 or 4 years ago Lafayette lead the nation for a few months in year over year percentage increase in 90-day lates. I still have the Corelogic reports somewhere.

Now Laffy, just like Midland, is getting a double whammy. Oilfield dying and COVID killing other businesses. It's scary.


ETA: Louisiana already had some of the highest delinquent rates in the nation as of December 2019.

Southern states including Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas held some of the largest volumes of non-current loans in the country. As of December 2019, Mississippi holds the highest volume at 9.99%, though this is a month-over-month decline from November’s 10.44%, and a 0.93% decline year-over-year

I was offered a job there in 2014 and the cheapest decent apartment I could find at the time was $1900. Moved to Uptown Dallas a few months later to a nice apartment for $1500 a month. The housing market in Midland is out of control, either extremely cheap or extremely expensive where you have to move to an even bigger hellhole than Midland called Odessa.

So instead of a $2k payment, I might have a $2500 payment for a year. Now I just returned to my service industry job

If you work at a really good bar with good clients, you can make a $2K a month mortgage payment being a bartender.

This is the prediction of where housing was heading prior to COVID. This is from 2-25-20


quote:

Experts predict that increases in foreclosure and REO inflow will come from government-insured loans, according to the Auction.com 2020 Default Servicing Industry Insights. The majority of servicers Auction.com surveyed expect foreclosure and REO inflow to increase in five of seven U.S. regions. According to the report, 89% said they expect government-insured foreclosure and REO inflow to increase in 2020, the highest among four product types provided as options in the survey.



We were already facing a downturn. This just made it WAY worse

I wouldn't move out there but it could be a good opportunity to pick up some property then turn it when oil prices inevitably come back up. 12 months ago you couldn't find an empty apartment there. Several man camps were put up around town to house all the workers.

all i know is that there are too many people living beyond their means and they are going to drag everyone else down with them for their poor decision making

This is true, and the market under normal circumstances can live with the ones that go into default. This is different because it is not purely self-inflicted and will hurt even responsible people.

We erased 10 years of job gains in one month. Insane.
