Biden got recessions, high gas prices, inflation, botched endings to international conflicts all checked off. Now add double digit interest on home mortgage rates.

What's left? I guess double digit unemployment rates.

Well it’s what 81 million people voted for so they get to enjoy their spoils of victory now.

Mortgage payment of ~$2200/ at 10% is a $250k loan

A year ago a mortgage payment of $2200/ month at 2.75% was a $530k loan.

Loss of $280,000 buying power.

Bye bye McMansions

And if the GOP takes Congress in 3 weeks, even though the new Congress isn't even seated, you can bet your arse Biden and the media will be blaming Republicans

Does that mean that "Billy Beer" will make a comeback.

Been trying to explain this to the zoomers on the OT for years. They don't get it.

Already there when the so-called discouraged workers number is included, as it was back in the 70s

Some big corporations should just pay cash for the properties and then rent them out to people who can’t afford to buy. Oh, wait.

I feel bad for many people in this current climate but a correction was way overdue.

House sizes and purchase prices have become comical.

Even vehicle sizes and purchase prices are comical.

I hate how we got to this point and I fear for what is in our future - but unless we all feel pain for a decade or more - the whole thing blows up in an instant. Money is not free or should not be.

I doubt we’ll be at 10 by January, but I agree that we’ll be there later next year.

It'll get worse.

I refinanced from a 30 year at 4% into a 15 year 2.35% in February 2021. You know my bank is fricking hating that loan right now. I get "cash out" refi offers all the time and I expect it to get worse.

Backdoor neighbor has been thinking of moving to the country for several years. Let his house get run down a bit. Could have been ready when the market was hot but slow walked the renovations and is now listed in the $325 range. Not sure that they have even shown it. Probably needs another $10k work in the backyard because they have done absolutely nothing to the trees since they lived there. Glad they're gone and don't care if they ever sell.
