Without low interest and QE would prices be higher or lower?
That's not a very fulsome question. Without low rates and QE from 2010 - 2015ish, we might have had a deflationary non-recovery which could have been pretty nasty.

Post 2020? Yes, prices would be lower.

Although I should still point out that REAL, median household net worth is up 37% since 2019. IOW, maybe no reason to be super concerned about "prices".

Really sad how many people around here would rather support the Chinese and drive a soyota over a real American Chevy or Jeep


Never buy a Detroit vehicle ever again. Korean, Japanese, or German for the win.

I thought it was just electric vehicles that were having trouble selling.

Missed the memo.

$57,000 for a two year old Silverado.
These manufacturers can get fricked with these prices.

So you agree we relied on inflation, since this necessary deflation did not occur.

Go to cargurus and search for trucks, especially ram and ford. Prices are being slashed bigtime right now. Things are correcting.

I would call it disinflation.

In part. In particular, I'm much less sure on the stock side of things than I was six months ago. I mean, for sure stocks are not in a "bubble".

It’s not a matter of if, but when the failure companies like GM go bankrupt again. Dipshits keep buying their overpriced crap and bragging about getting raped.

I watched a video a few days ago about homeowners being forced to refi their 2-3% mortgages to 8%+ mortgages because they couldn't qualify for a HELOC and could not consolidate their debt. This is due to high CC payments and .... car payments. Repos are exploding


I recently got an email from the refi lending company I have used twice in the past that had the subject line of “why it makes sense to refi a 3% mortgage to a 8%”

It was all about consolidating $60K 18-20% credit card debt into the note and paying on it for 30 years.

Made me thankful my 3% mortgage is our only debt.

They aren't.

He's wrong.

ETA: even his OP is wrong, he picked some outliers to try yo make a flawed point.

That said, supply is catching with demand, albeit slowly.

Outliers? I named what I was looking for specifically.

Give me any zip code and I'll find similar models.

Look up the exploding consumer debt and issues with paying for essentials like homes and cars.

The only people who try to argue against this typically are involved in an industry named (auto/RE industries primarily).

My apologies. Those you're looking for do have tons of inventory.
Popular models are still a bit tight, for the most part.
