And cheap money is why we have inflation today.

All lies. I know because Sleepy Joe tells me so. Just like they got caught double counting employee hires yesterday. Or how they’ve lowered gas prices by using the Strategic Reserve at a record pace. Reserve that will need to be replaced at twice price per barrel and thus killing debt.

They’re cooking the books because November is coming.

The higher price is actually good for any American home owner - but the dramatic rise in mortgage rates (that was largely self inflicted by my analysis) is an absolute Tyson-Esque blow to American families and ultimately the economy and eventually employment - we got a chance to rectify to some extent in November and again in two Novembers

something really doesn’t add up. Average household income is like $70k and that’s only if you exclude rural areas. You’re telling me most Americans have homes that are 8x their income?

Buyer A purchases home in 2020.
Buyer B purchases similar home in 2022.

Buyer A pays $485,000 over the life of the mortgage
Buyer B pays $950,000 over the life of the mortgage.

Assume Buyer A invests those extra $15,000 savings each year in a broad market tracking index fund with tax advantages over the next 30 years and the market performs at historical averages for that time period.

Buyer A will finish about $2 million ahead in the retirement race, including home equity, just because he bought the same house a few years earlier than Buyer B. Amazing how little things can snowball into significant lifestyle outcomes.

I think you’re overestimating how many Americans own their home.

Median price for a US home purchase for the 1st quarter of 2022 was around $428k, up by about $100-120k a year ago.

No, most Americans don't, there's your answer.

Locked in at 2.8% while the world was "flattening the curve


Same. Went to an “open house” in Austin the weekend after the Covid lock downs happened at the end of March.

Our realtor didn’t want us to, and told us that all of her other clients had stopped touring “occupied homes” and the sellers also wanted to cancel the open house. Then they agreed to still let us (and others who wanted to that day) in to tour but we “we weren’t allowed to open and doors, cabinets, or touch anything” as they opened every door in the house before leaving. Had to wear covers on our shoes, realtor couldn’t come in with us, it was all so ridiculous.

We ended up being the only showing, so we put in an offer at asking and they accepted the next day.

A month later every house in the neighborhood had cars around the blocks for showings, 20-30 offers per house going for 50-100k over asking after sellers spent a week getting highest offers.

We’re still several years away from adequate inventory. Home prices/values more than likely won’t be rising exponentially like they have been doing the past couple of years. More than likely we are going to see a stabilization, if you will, and somewhere around 2-4% appreciation rates, maybe 4-7% in hotter markets.
