What's terrible about it? I bet you pay 8-10 bucks for a cup of coffee you could make at home for 20 cents.

The true value of our homes isn't what's changing. The value of the dollar is what's changing.

That assumes an even impact of inflation when housing specifically does not reflect that, especially compared to the impact of inflation on wages.

Not many Boomers are in starter homes.

I’m just jumping in so someone may have said this. I have 2 children about to get married. I hate this for them. It is absolutely ridiculous to have a 50 year mortgage for a home. Just my opinion, this is setting young couples up for failure.

This is cute considering your entire squad seemingly does not. They do care greatly about paying billions for non citizens and fraud though, which probably do wonders for housing prices

Clearly he doesn’t want to lower housing prices, he’s discussed his viewpoint several times.

How much do you think housing prices will go down?

The best you can hope for is that they slow down and paychecks go up.

That's all there is to it.

The best I hope for is a 25% further decrease in national housing prices.

I'll consider 15% reasonably adequate.

100-year mortgages
What a stupid friggin moron you are. The idea behind the 50 year mortgage is to qualify for the loan. When I got all of my mortgages, the bank looked at our total gross monthly income. Then calculated that our total loan payments could be 40% of that. A couple making 10k a month could have a max of 4K in payments. IF that couple has 2 car payments totaling 1K, 2 student loans totaling 800 and credit cards totaling 300. That's 2100 right there. So the maximum 30 year mortgage payment they could qualify for is 1900 (principal and interest). A 350K mortgage at 6% (principal and interest) for 30 years has a payment of $2098. The couple could not qualify. That same home/interest rate on a 50 year mortgage would be 1842 and the couple could qualify. Once they lock in the price of the home, any increase in the home value is then equity. If the 350K home goes up 4% a year, they are getting 14K plus in equity. In 5 years they'd have 80K or in equity toward the purchase of another home. Something they'd be hard pressed to do simply saving.

If the couple pays the 2098 payment, then the loan will pay off in 30 years instead of 50. ANYONE who pays the minimum payment on a mortgage, if they can pay more is stupid.

Wouldn't it be easier for normal people to qualify for loans if the price of housing decreased?
