Ouch! That number coupled with median home prices, no bueno. I hope this turns around in early 2027 but who knows.

The problem is the median home prices. They need to fall at least 15-25%

Better than the 18% in the early 80s


Low rates in the early 2000s and 2010s were an unusually low in history.

Texas is sitting on a boatload of inventory. 40+% have dropped their price after 3 months sitting.

Price cuts. Lots of them
In this particular market gyration, he says it’s often the sellers who end up less than satisfied. Part of that is driven by price cuts. That has been happening a lot in Texas. “The share of units undergoing price cuts in April was under 40%. Today that's one in two,” says Jason Lewris of Parcl Labs.

No, housing prices need to fall 35-55% at the least.

The problem is pricing hasn't fallen to create an equilibrium with the rates. Homes are still valued as if they were selling in 2021 and 2022.

We can easily deal with 7% rates if the median home price returns to levels of sanity

I refinanced mine in 2020 and locked it in at 2.7%. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Went from 3.8 to 2.7.

People will just buy them for AirBRB or rentals.

You may want to do some research about what's going on in that sphere.

Imagine using this from 40 years ago as a coping mechanism

I am old enough to remember when people wouldn’t even blink at a rate like this. Even at this rate, a 30 year fixed rate mortgage loan is one of the best financial deals out there. It’s not the rate that makes it, it’s the duration.

I bought my 1st house in February 1982, 1 month after the Jimmy Carter destruction years were over. My mortgage rate was 14.5 % and that was with a 1% Veteran’s discount. $ 882 a month on a $58,000 mortgage. I refinanced after Reganomics got the rate down to 8% which at the time was amazing.

nationally median home prices have fallen and inventory has risen and listed homes are cutting prices.

You trying get us back to 2008? 20-25% of all homeowners would be severely underwater in their homes.
