Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.
I'd rather be CALLED a fascist then BE a liberal. |

If inflation is 10-15%, are rates at half that really going to make much difference? It'll be interesting to watch it play out.

View Quote So higher rates could cause home prices to crater, but the bullshit survey understates the prices on the way down, and we still have fat monthly inflation prints overall in other areas that necessitate the same higher rates that helped smother the housing market to begin with. But the market will figure out where rates truly should be now that the Fed's thumb is no longer on the MBS scale and rates will pop high enough to get us where we need to be |

I’m looking for land in the country, been watching the market for a while…. Around here Everything sold at light speed during Covid for asking or slightly above up until a couple months ago. Over the holidays land started remaining on the market for longer and has now started to sell below the crazy asking prices. I didn’t even know rates had risen this year before the fed announcement, but it makes sense.
I’m sitting on my hands for now, it feels like prices are leveling off and might even decline a bit. I hope it’s the right decision! |

Once they found ways to offload risk, the party started. This time is different, but still seeming concerning. everyone just refinanced. If homes drop in price by 25%, what percentage of people will be underwater? Of the people underwater, what percentage just walk, leaving the banks with the loss? Then when a bank fails and we have Kamala running the country, will she bail out ‘evil wallstreet’? If not, it’s a Great Depression. Then again I’m just fucking around, I have no idea what’s going to happen. |
