Is 2025 the Year Buyers Get a Break In the Housing Market? | The Truth Behind the Media Hype
Is 2025 finally the year buyers get a break in the housing market? News Nation recently covered predictions for the real estate market, but is the mainstream media telling the full story? In this video, I break down the report, analyze mortgage rate trends, and reveal whether 2025 will be a buyer’s market, seller’s market, or balanced market.

      @MH-et5sn 2 місяці тому

      That's what it is though. As an "asset", it really only keeps up with inflation unless you buy in a deep housing correction or a cheaper area that becomes desirable eventually. Buying now is a great way to lose money actually. That opportunity was 5 to 15 years ago. It might come back within the next 5-10.

      @thatwestmichiganlife very broad question. Every single welfare program has serious unintended consequences and/or fails it's charter. With all this aid, why is there still anyone homeless? Get me started about food stamps and who actually benefits....

    • @thatwestmichiganlife
      @thatwestmichiganlife 2 місяці тому

      @@MaxSmart-z1p It is a very broad question and I ask it genuinely because I believe we need to help the most vulnerable people in our society but also see many flaws in the section 8 system ... I think a lot of people exploit it .. so what could we do as a society to help people who need it but also not set up a system that is easily exploited? To answer your question of why are people still homeless with all this aid? I would point to 2 factors 1. A large amount of untreated mental illness in our homeless population ... 2. manipulation of the cost of housing between the government as well as the banking system with the worst culprit being the federal reserve... I have seen this BS for years from them!! Just my opinion!!

    When we subsidized the medical industry, everything in the medical industry doubled in price. If we put a cap on the rental industry without fixing the economy that made the pricing so high, we'll just starve out smaller landlords, and that won't lead to private ownership, that'll lead to corporate ownership. And insiders, like United States senators, know this, And are eager for the opportunity to invest in our future overlords.

    Your buses run 24/7? That 1,000 times better than the buses in California! Here, the buses leave the depot at 7 am and some of the stops, the first buses don't arrive until 11 am! Then the buses are back in the depot and the drivers clicked out at 9 pm, so most stops completely end at 7 pm The one transfer station the first buses arrive around 9 am with passengers and the last buses drop off at 8 pm, but don't pick up anyone.
