mid iowa tiger. you do realize that he will not be re-elected anyways, right? he can only serve 2 terms total.

he needs to wreck shop, flip the script, allow DOGE to gut the Gov’t spending & then set up his predecessors!!!

Growing pains may be tough, but the long game is where it’s at!

Praying mortgage rates come down in the 5/5.25 range. Just built my new home while rates were in the 3 range and couldnt finance until it was finished. Ended up getting it at 6.75 and it hasn’t come down since.

Our monetary policy is centered over keeping stock prices high. Also, tariffs are a gift to BigCorp

Youre welcome.

you populists are so envious of the wealthy. Nobody is keeping you down, Roger. You did that all on your own.

Oh boy. What a great and eloquent point. So specific. I’d wager you have no clue if that’s true or not. Run to wiki.

Since the 30 year mortgage in 1971, homes have gone up 2-3 percent YoY on average. Your statement is retarded.

between the two of us only one is envious of the wealthy. Only one of us thinks the elite are keeping them down. The person guilty of those qualities is you. Now let’s look at the definition of populist:

a person, especially a politician, who strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.


Poor Roger thinks Wall Street elites and “BigCorp” are keeping him down. You are so dumb you don’t realize that you’re a populist.

I think he is saying that homes should not be investment vehicles and you just proved his point. The expectation that your home is going to be an investment and net a significant return when you sell it is one of the many drivers of increased cost of living in this country.

I don’t think that proved anything. You can’t look at home prices in a vacuum. You have to compare wage growth to home appreciation, among other things.

Another big factor at work here is that folks think they made $100,000 when they sell a home, they purchased for $200,000, for $300,000 ten years later. But inflation occurred during that time, and it’s possible that the buying power of $300,000 is the same as that of $200,000 ten years earlier.

You found the guy who wants to buy a home to live in, rather than turn it into another fricking Air BnB.

Unfortunately ol' John Barron (and ZeroHedge), being the propagandist he is, conveniently forgot to mention that existing home sales - which dwarf new home sales by an order of magnitude - were strong in October.

Important bit of context that was buried far down the article.

No it started after the 2008 crash and they didn't let the market return to normal. They instead used Wall Street and Hedge Funds to reinflate the bubble even bigger this time.
