That’s not all bad. Only bad for the people who purchased in the last couple

Or tapped large home equity lines

Why should that matter?

You could now be under water with your housing debt

Jesse Pinkman

10/4/22 9:00pm

But you'll still have the same payments and debt owed. It's only bad if you'll

Which only matters if you want to sell and move.

People who bought before that don’t lose equity? The rooting for a housing

No, because equity isn't real. If they sell in a down market and buy another

Huh? Not following

Memmo

Yeah but 9% interest rates won’t last long either

Nobody knows anything

100%... the fed (USD) is pushing the global economy in recession, sounds like

I'm torn, to be honest.

Yep my loss is your gain congrats!

Or for anyone who has to move or is retiring and hoping to downsize.

How is this a new consensus. Wall Street thought those increases were

Plato

10/4/22 8:53pm

Lots of people were saying that price increases would slow down and stop, but that we wouldn’t see much decline in

mvtoro

10/4/22 9:20pm

That was consensus around here. Nothing seems obvious til it is

Memmo

10/4/22 9:25pm

That's called wishful thinking, not economics. Steep price increases are usually

Depends on the interaction of supply and demand.

VenturaCoug

10/4/22 10:33pm

Rates up, recession fears, demand down, home prices down. Supply and demand.

TailgateU

10/5/22 12:10am

Sure but those things weren’t caused by steep price increases.

VenturaCoug

10/5/22 10:10am

Increases were caused by low rates, sudden shift in demand, and a screaming hot

TailgateU

10/5/22 10:18am

And an absurd increase in materials cost which has now gone way down.

Plato

People have been predicting it for years and been wrong. Just because something

VenturaCoug

10/5/22 12:37pm

Uhhh... which parts weren't supply and demand?

TailgateU

10/5/22 1:34pm

It’s not what I said. But if you didn’t see that proclaimed my “market experts” then you weren’t paying attention.

What happened to home prices in 2020 and 2021?

I might be able to buy a house now.

This is a nothingburger. Alarmist headline. Home prices have risen 50% over the

Mr. Rumsfield

Yep 7 to 10% drop is not much considering how much prices have

A healthy housing market is one where new entrants of average income can

Until large companies arent allowed to overbid and pay cash vs single family

CarolinaCoug

I think that works itself out in a healthy housing market. Companies are after

Scary headline. Not so scary article

Tare

Honestly even a 25-30% correction would be healthy IMO.

HingleMcCringleberry

10/4/22 9:03pm

Heck, according to Zillow, I'm already down 10%.
