Buy something you can afford like every other generation in history?

When the demand for something drops at a certain price, the seller has to adjust or else they get to keep it.

I say give it to all these people who want the inflated prices that comes along with lower rates. Then, they'll scream that we have a debt problem in this country and lament that starter homes of 1500 set are running closer to 350 -400 k and Blackrock is buying them all up because no one starting off can afford 400K at 4% even.

I said it would increase prices and be less efficient, not "wreck" the economy.
I never did either, but that dont stop them from lying about it.

Well then, looks like you’re destined to be a renter.

Lower mortgage rates will make demand and prices go even higher.
They dont understand the most basics of supply/demand.
Its a waste of time arguing with them about it.

Do you understand what "demand" in an economic sense means? It means the desire and the means are present

Why do we need to lower rates?
The real estate market is stagnating, that hurts because taxes on home sales are quite large. The economy may be fine, but circulating that money through the economy helps everyone, including the government. The government has a 30 something trillion dollar debt to pay back so any increase in revenue would help that, not to mention refinancing it's debt.

Congrats to your folks. Well done.

But in reality, the amount of Americans who want to buy a home is up. The demand for homes is there, but its being restricted by rates.
do you understand?

It means buyers have both desire and means at a price point.
If they cant afford the higher rates, it isnt demand.

How does the median price of a home factor in to this?
