do the math. compare the total repayment amount (principal + interest) on a house today vs 3 years ago. as an example, i live in the suburbs of philly. i'm seeing homes that sold for $250k back in 2020 go for $300k today. national average down payment for first time home buyers is about 7%. rates in 2020 were about 3%, rates today are about 6.5%.

$250k home with 7% down = $232k mortgage at 3.0% = $352k total payments over 30 years
$300k home with 7% down = $279k mortgage at 6.5% = $635k total payments over 30 years

no thanks. i'm continuing to stack cash. if prices refuse to come down, i'll cope and buy a $120k shit shack in my flyover hometown with cash.

Never, because we are ending Late Stage Capitalism and headed for early Neo-Feudalism.

I'd say buying some peice of shit plywood home in an HOA neighborhood is buying the top, unspoiled rural land is running out and will be worth more in the long run.

Buy land + put trailer on it, get a construction loan and build a quality home when you're ready.

>> No.51484332

The market has already softened a lot. Mortgage rates are a lot higher and people can’t afford as much as House as they used to. I think it’s probably a good time to buy. Sellers are probably out there getting nervous.

>> No.51484337

There’s only been one financial event since the fall of Rome where you would be underwater on a mortgage payment. And most areas dipped 15-20% and recovered within a few years.

>2008
Everyone with a pulse qualified for a loan. Banks were throwing adjustable rates at every idiot. Housing was eaten up when people realized they could buy a home, open a “ninja” cash credit line that would cover the mortgage payments until 1 year later they would sell the home for profit. No need to rent
>2022
Globohomo faggots printed 30% of money supply
Anyone with a brain panicked and bought physical goods on 2% FIXED rate mortgages
All the retards have been “priced out” since 2016. Nearly no 20 year olds own homes but have down payments and are ready to buy.
All fed needs to do is pivot (which they will) and home prices will continue going up

>>rentoids get the rope for all eternity.

in 10 years the boomers living alone are going to start dying & getting sent to the old folks homes, while the population rate of new adults is quickly declining. The millennials at prime age to buy real estate don't have kids and are more likely to stick to urban environments or apartments & condos. The demographic actually still growing & having children are latinos which mainly stick to construction & manual labor jobs including construction. Latinos also live with significantly more people per household. The ponzi is going to start reversing lol

>> No.51484775

>>51484337
The fed doesn't need to pivot. Since they already inflated since 2008, huge money is in stocks and bonds. If interest rates rise, those become less attractive in favor or commodities, housing and commodity intensive things as investments. There's also supply problems in these. At the same time, there's still some buy pressure for houses since high demand / supply ratio. It can change if the economy goes bad, but that won't make more homes being built, or the demographic

You only need $6-10k to buy a home. And if you have already forgotten, 3.6k tax exemption for kids, globohomo covid checks, student loan relief etc. a free $5k-15k in equity from their stupid cars. many are ready with cash and inflated assets to buy. Cope more rentie

I did see a case recently with two children. The house was about half the inheritance, so one of them kept it.
But yes, often even if someone wants to buy the others out, they might be looking at months and tens of thousands of dollars in overdue repairs. So, fuck it.
