hot housing markets with heavy appreciation
Also come with skyrocketing property taxes and insurance etc.
The 50 year 'rates' are also going to be higher than 15 or 30 year rates.
There are a lot of layers to this the low IQ poors aren't thinking about.

Saw a tweet earlier that they're getting rid of the 650 credit score threshold for financing. Save that cash boys, another housing crash is on the horizon.

That's probably not true, all things considered
You'll need some luck to come out ahead, specifically
1. Avoiding expensive maintenance
2. Not facing high property taxes
3. Having RE appreciate beyond historical norms
4. Having RE be positively valued when you have to sell
On the flip side, you're able to stabilize your housing cost over the long term and be much better protected from risk associated with nonrenewal of your lease, or huge jumps in rent expense. You can also buy down principal and own the place outright over time.
Puts and takes. It doesn't make sense for everyone, but for someone who is looking to stay put in a certain area for a while absolutely could provide benefits over renting.

Any of those 4 alone could tank the advantage, and I imagine most people will face at least 2/4 of them over a long enough sample.
i bought a house in 2015 for 400k and sold it in 2021 for 1.6.
things havent slowed much since then even w/ the high interest rates.
i get it; this isn't normal for other parts of the country but its priced pretty much all the college grads out of starter homes in this area and sent rents through the roof.

Significantly higher. And nobody seems to be mentioning this.
30 year fixed has about double the rate of 15 year fixed. No sane bank actually wants an asset with a 50 year maturity, so the rate will likely be double the 30 year rate.
Imagine agreeing to pay 12% on a mortgage of, what 400K on average…for 50 years.
It’s a garbage idea for a product and I have no idea why we (collectively, not just the OT) are even discussing this.

You think the rate will be 12%
This place never disappoints

What do you imagine the rate will be and why?

Is that same house now worth $4.5MM or so? Because if not, things have slowed way, way the frick down
And yes, this kind of appreciation is staggeringly outside of the norm for the rest of the country, and we shouldn't be setting policy based on extreme edge cases.
