Actually, it's great economic news. Everything is fine and we are in the midst of the greatest economic growth period in our history. Millions of new jobs since Slo Joe was elected. Plus no mean tweets.
Definitely some predatory loans out there. People approved for well more than what they can afford. Family member got into a home a year ago, was borrowing money for the first 8 months just to make the mortgage payment which was 130% more than the rent they were paying, with virtually no savings.

Had an honest conversation with the family member but they were desperate to be in a certain area close to friends with much better jobs, in a house bigger than what they needed.

Just don't buy San Francisco office towers in 2005 and try to sell it in 2023.https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/what-are-older-office-towers-worth-new-era-second-san-francisco-office-tower-sells-70What Are Older Office Towers Worth In The New Era? Second San Francisco Office Tower Sells For 70% Off Original Listing PriceBY TYLER DURDENTUESDAY, JUN 06, 2023 - 03:05 PMAuthored by Wolf Richter via WolfStreet.com,The burning question arose over the past two years what these largely empty older office towers in San Francisco are worth.The market had frozen over.There were no transactions because no one knew what anything was worth as San Francisco’s office market has morphed in just a few years from being one of the hottest office markets in the US with a vacancy rate of 7% in 2019 and some of the highest rents in the US, to being put on ice by working-from-home. About 33% of all office space is now on the market for lease – worse even than Houston, which was for years the worst office market in the US.So now there’s the second deal in about a month — though the sale hasn’t closed yet. Wells Fargo found a buyer for one of its office towers in San Francisco, the 13-story 355,000-square-foot 1960s-era tower at 550 California, across the street and around the corner from its headquarters tower on Montgomery.Wells Fargo had purchased the tower in 2005 for $108 million. It is vacating the building. Last year, it listed it for $160 million, but then pulled the listing after receiving bids reportedly below $40 million. Earlier this year, it engaged real estate investment bank Eastdil Secured to relist the tower.And it has now made a deal – the name of the buyer has not been disclosed – for about $42.6 million to $46 million ($120 to $130 per square foot), according to sources cited by the San Francisco Business Times. That would be 71% below the original asking price and nearly 60% below the purchase price in 2005.
