It sure seems like (in my uneducated option) that the housing market could get really bad, really fast.

Supply/Demand still applies, and there are many places where demand for housing

Agreed. But what people qualify for just dropped like a ton of bricks.

Yes, but demand will start to dry up when purchasing power is completely hamstrung

Demand can fall off a cliff very quickly

No one knows for sure, but if the economy continues down this path, the housing market could be hurting soon. Rising

I love the attitude of some sellers.

I mean if you are already in a home with a conventional mortgage, it doesn't matter.

With remote work being a big option, hopefully no need to sell. But lots of different circumstances.

Yup. If there are a lot of cash buyers, that could be the case. But I think that cools off too.

It will be interesting to watch. Rental prices are increasing double digit %

One thing that could save a lot of people is remote work and there being less need to sell a home and move for new work.

many employers are dialing that back though

Maybe a short term (small) dip, but supply is too constrained for a crash.

A really scary aspect to the whole thing is how much purchasing power is built on asset prices

I don't think prices will drop fast enough to offset the raise in interest. Demand will drop, but we are at a ~5mm

One thing we learned from 2009 is that housing prices can move much faster than many expect.
