I figure 4 weeks of this will cause a huge crash.

Why


Let’s see.

Layoffs. Mortgage payments aren’t made. Can’t afford the house. Bye

Many experts have said that there shouldn’t be a housing crash since this disruption/potential recession isn’t similar to what was going on in 07 and 08. The economy is fundamentally solid. This could be worse than 2001 recession but nowhere near 2007 and 2008.

Not to mention, look at the insanely low interest rates for mortgages.

Who’s getting laid off other than the employees at the Golden Nugget?

Hopefully someone will jump on these low interest rates and buy my damn house. Been trying to sell for over 18 months. Frustrating as shite.

No choice but to defer mortgage payments.

If it hasn't sold in 18 months it's overpriced. lower the price... it'll sell

It most states you have 90 days before someone can remove you from your house for non-payment. It isn’t going to happen, if at all, for at least 6 months

Nothing has happened. He trying to use his brain to come up with a theory, unfortunately due to the peanut sized brain that he has, this was all he was able to come up with

A closing for me to sell one of my houses is scheduled for the 31st of March. Luckily the buyer is in the medical/nursing field and is not worried about going without work. I'm optimistic.

That being said, if interest rates drop to the ~2.0% range, I will be refinancing the house I live in.

Most bars, restaurants, companies that do event production etc are laying off employees so they will eligible for unemployment benefits since they don't know when they'll reopen. That's a ton of layoffs right there.

We were supposed to close on our house today. The county has been slow to return the required Certificate of Occupancy. Now they've closed up shop to the public for some services because of the coronavirus, don't know if that includes COs. House closing has been pushed to Thursday, we shall see.
