Not a Millennial and haven't rented since College back in the early 2000's. There isn't enough supply of housing and the housing market has not 'crashed' despite wishcasting from people on here for years now.

Bunch of poors on here that can only afford housing during a 'crash' so its what you folks keep hoping and praying for.

We've added 5 million Illegal Immigrants in only 2 years. These people have to live somewhere. These people multiply like rats. Do the math.

Don't worry the 'crash' you've been predicting and praying for for years will happen eventually.

Prices are still very high/inflated even with rates doubling
What planet do you live on or should I ask what shithole area do you live in that is struggling?

Add the continued drop in jobless claims and rising job growth numbers, and I think a .5 rate increase has to be back on the table.


Hope he doesn't increase more than a quarter point.

If they can just hold rates roughly steady (and politicians can stop flooding the economy with stimulus) maybe we could have a semi functional economy.

There is a surplus of demand now because we are at an unhealthy unemployment rate. I think we can all agree unemployment rates are going to go back up to normal levels which destroys the excess demand.


That narrative is false, unemployment is artificially low due to the way it is calculated.

That latter part is the biggest issue. Congress loves to cut the rate of spending growth then say "Look! We cut spending!" but then continue to blame the other side of the aisle for the shitshow continuing.

The real problem is that in order to just balance the budget, we would need to cut ALL spending (both mandatory and discretionary) by ~20% (everything from new missiles to VA benefits to paying electricity bills to office supplies). Such a drastic cut across the board (which would mean even larger cuts if you were to do targeting) would guarantee almost everyone who voted for it would fail in their next re-election bid.

No one goes to DC with the intention of serving only that term then going home.

Nothing like some market turmoil to bring down the conversations of the money board.

My personal opinion is this is a little misleading. You have alot of migration going on now with people moving out of states with more expensive real estate to states with equal or less expensive real estate (NY to FL, CA to TX). It would be interesting to see new starts per state.

I agree.

But the states "losing population" were arguably still overcrowded and undersupplied.

I don't think a statistic would show what you expect.

Unable to determine if this is an intended burn or sarcasm? Real estate has been minimally impacted by non-0% interest rates. Real estate is still out of control.

I literally just had my 1st walk through this morning before closing on a new construction next week. There's still quite a lot of new construction happening in the Austin area.
