Right??? who is "THEY" and what is their big secret plan? It's amazing how many people want to blame the boogey man for their own bad decisions and why they can't achieve some aspirational goal.




Well, the Totalitarian World Government and it's desire for single universal currency of course.

Mortgages have sucked up the disposable cash from not having to pay student loans. Once student loans kick back in, there’s going to be a correction of ginormous proportions.

Well, student loans are set for payment in October, so I'd assume about 6-12 months after that.

Don't expect it for housing. People refied to 2-3% mortgages and aren't selling those houses for a long time. People aren't selling a 3% mortgage to go to a 7% mortgage.

There's not enough inventory of new houses and won't be for years. High borrowing rates and higher costs of construction will keep things steady at this pace. Imho


Bingo we bought in mid 2021 and have a sub 3% rate. We would love to move to a larger home on a bigger lot but we can't justify a close to $1,500/month increase in the interest on a note alone (never mind whatever the higher principal amount is). We'll learn to love the home we are in and ride it until the kids are out of school in 15 years.

Deep-state lefty globalists. The frickwads in charge of your government who have scared the populace into believing that man made global warming is a thing, driven primarily by Americans’ internal combustion engines, and that if you give them enough of your money they can make it 1/10th of a degree cooler over 100 years.

Is that clear enough?

Keep inventory low and prices high. That's the current market.

Wife and I both need new vehicles but I'm just not going to do it in this market. BOth cars work fine and I am going to ride them out as long as possible to see if the market adjusts

Used car rates are already starting to crash

There are a shitload of houses available and affordable. They just aren’t where people want to live. That’s the real problem. The government should work on those areas instead of propping up the new housing market. New housing increases urban sprawl and enlarges the footprint of cities, thereby increasing costs for infrastructure.

The prices of homes won’t fall anytime soon

Too many factors keeping them high right now

We only have about 3 months of total supply of new/old homes in the country, meaning the supply of homes is historically low relatively “propping up” demand

This is partly due to investment groups keeping it that way

Same thing happened with ammo

The prices don’t go down when the first buyer is the federal government swooping in and buying billions

On average 6% of all mortgages will payoff annually due to death, divorce, job movements- basically non economic reasons

A 1.7% decrease in prices over the last year given the current climate isn’t a correction

That's only true with certain models and maybe in certain areas.
