I realize you don’t give a fuck because at 65 or whatever you’re across the finish line on your home loan, but this is a huge problem for people in their 20s and 30s wanting to own their own house.
But keep up with the snark and glib replies that always fall flat. Even the dummies on this board see right through your bullshit.
You seem to ignore the fact that sellers are also impacted by rising rates.
But rates at 3 - 4% was always going to be the aberration. -
At some point the serfs are going to wake up and realize they would rather be able to own property vs get a free abortion. They rightfully should come for your social security also.HHusky said:

I bought into the year 1990's "incredibly inflated" home values and paid 10.25% for the loan. The price then seemed just as absurd then as prices do now and within the year there was a "correction". And interest rates came all the way down to 6 - 7% too by 1993.
Nothing new under the sun. -
Just because it has precedent doesn't mean it's nothing to worry about. In addition, you're ignoring several distinctions:HHusky said:

Nothing new under the sun.
(1) influx of institutional money into residential real estate (e.g., BlackRock as someone mentioned above, Vanguard, RedFin, Zillow, etc.)
(2) influx of foreign interests (Chinese in particular)
(3) wages have not risen as a commensurate level to housing prices and it's not close -

You bought that home for less than $50k. You also were much younger than the avg 1st time buyer today at 36. Things are multiples worse for them today because of people like you.HHusky said:

You should take a look at your home price then versus today's dollars. The first home my parents bought for $165,000 in 1993 would be about $350,000 in 2023 dollars. Zillow says it's worth $1,042,000. 300% increase over 30 years doesn't seem very normal or healthy. That's 10% a year, on average, with the bulk of it coming over the past 6-7 years.HHusky said:

Nothing new under the sun.
I don't think you're very aware of just how short on supply the housing market is, nor the other external factors present today which were not around in 1993. In the example above, the house would have to lose half of its value to become close to "affordable" for the average household in Snohomish County with where rates are right now. -
Sellers need prices to go up or stay relatively flat to justify trading into a higher rate mortgage and maintain a similar lifestyle. Buyers need them to go down to justify the current rates in monthly payments. Lack of economic mobility is a very bad thing when an economy is already stalled out. As @UW_Doog_Bot said in another thread recently, there's a complete mismatch in the market (also in other financial markets for similar reasons) and something will have to give.BleachedAnusDawg said:

You seem to ignore the fact that sellers are also impacted by rising rates.
But rates at 3 - 4% was always going to be the aberration.
If you think the macroeconomic climate is remotely comparable to whenever you were young, you're as addled as Biden
I bought into the year 1990's "incredibly inflated" home values and paid 10.25% for the loan. The price then seemed just as absurd then as prices do now and within the year there was a "correction". And interest rates came all the way down to 6 - 7% too by 1993.
Nothing new under the sun.
I don't think you're very aware of just how short on supply the housing market is, nor the other external factors present today which were not around in 1993. In the example above, the house would have to lose half of its value to become close to "affordable" for the average household in Snohomish County with where rates are right now.
There's something like 14 million investor owned vacant homes. Why hold real estate when a bond will make a better return? Even a 5% divestment of that stock would crash the shit out of the market.

Prices and what makes sense is so out of whack in other stuff too. Just got back some shipping quotes to move 10 pallets of goods from Italy to the US. 2 day air shipping is cheaper than ocean. Have never seen that before, usually air is like 5-6x ocean. Economy is so strange, everything is weird.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Sellers need prices to go up or stay relatively flat to justify trading into a higher rate mortgage and maintain a similar lifestyle. Buyers need them to go down to justify the current rates in monthly payments. Lack of economic mobility is a very bad thing when an economy is already stalled out. As @UW_Doog_Bot said in another thread recently, there's a complete mismatch in the market (also in other financial markets for similar reasons) and something will have to give.BleachedAnusDawg said:
You should take a look at your home price then versus today's dollars. The first home my parents bought for $165,000 in 1993 would be about $350,000 in 2023 dollars. Zillow says it's worth $1,042,000. 300% increase over 30 years doesn't seem very normal or healthy. That's 10% a year, on average, with the bulk of it coming over the past 6-7 years.HHusky said:

if you're under 30
I realize you don’t give a fuck because at 65 or whatever you’re across the finish line on your home loan, but this is a huge problem for people in their 20s and 30s wanting to own their own house.
But keep up with the snark and glib replies that always fall flat. Even the dummies on this board see right through your bullshit.

That plus a credit crunch and maybe deflation, capital destruction? Idk we are sailing into new and dangerous waters similar to when stagflation first happened and we needed new models to explain it.
But hey guys! Inflation is now only 3.9%! -
