    In order to have a home in America now, you must have already bought one and kept it or be rich. Those who haven’t bought a home yet and are in middle class no longer have a chance for home ownership. The whole prices go down when interest rates rise rule no longer applies. Prices are high and interest rates are high making the housing market unattainable for the middle class. So sad! 😢

    There is no way the average family in TX can afford home prices with bringing in an average salary of 75K per year per household. People are crazy to think our market can sustain this down here unless we are going to become a renter nation. Feel sorry for young Americans trying to buy their 1st home.

    Construction companies are public companies who need to be profitable for their shareholders. They will continue to play the game of introducing just the right amount of houses at the right price to keep up their earnings. Why would they flood the market with new houses and be less profitable? Guys like Lennar, Horton are making profits while everyone said they’ll go down under.

    Let's face it the American dream is dead for most of the country. For a crash to happen it will take a significant economical issue of more banks failing and sky-high mortgage rates, (which will take a long time to happen). When it does, a lot of people will be underwater, but it won't matter much because over 60 percent of home buyers are sitting on extra cash due to the historical interest rates and some capital gains.

    If working hard and busting my ass everyday as a young person in this country just yields a life of poverty, then why should I even bother?

      You're assuming the house just gets sold at a courthouse auction the day after a homeowner passes, it doesn't work that way, especially since most "boomers" either own their home free and clear or have a small remaining balance on the mortgage. Boomers aren't all dying tomorrow, and the truth is most homes already have a succession in place via a trust or will, if not then they go to probate, and that process can be extremely protracted, even at the end of it, the house isn't guaranteed to go up for sale, for example my parents who are in their 80's still live in their home less than 10 miles from Downtown Los Angeles, the house has appreciated something like 13X since they bought it in the early 1980's. It really is just a modest little house, but it has appreciated incredibly in the 40 years they owned it, that said my sister and I already bought homes and when the time comes we are going to rent out my parents home and split the revenue as well as the taxes and expenses to maintain it, with the understanding that when I retire (Lord willing) she can either buy me out or sell the property outright and split the proceeds, but that's not for another 15 plus years.

    @davidnoticiero6728 Рік тому +1

    The American Dream isn't dead, but it's harder to attain because frankly most people are rabid consumers and do not have a handle on debt. Some is systemic, (high taxes, high cost of living, inflation), but most people's frustration with housing is that they cannot qualify, even for moderately priced homes due to high DTI ratios. I believe another big impediment is the down payment for most people, even though there are loans that require 5% or less for down payment, most people carry just way too much debt to qualify and/or have little to no savings. Real talk car payments are now at and above $1000 monthly for a growing number of people? Seriously!, Buy a beater or a 7-10 year old car and save your money, especially if you have kids, why do you want a nice new car for them to wreck and ultimately devalue?
    Bottom line, buying a home is extremely expensive, but you have to be intentional and be creative to buy a house, my wife and I had to dig out of over $30K of consumer debt by working side gigs, and slashing expenses, it took 7 years but because we got out of debt and got our income up enough to save for a down payment/closing and additional savings for renovations/repairs post-home purchase, we now have a sub 3% mortgage on our 4 bed 2 bath home in Northern California that is LESS than the average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in the area. The alternative is being held hostage by endlessly rising rents and hoping Mr. Beast shows up at your door to gift you a house. Let me be clear, I didn't say it was easy, but to quote the great Vin Scully, "Very difficult... but possible"

But the truth is is the probability Jazz existed. Anybody purchased a home right now but lose money did lose equity could be underwater. They’re being told no that’s not really possibly going to happen or did they stay in their house for 10 years eventually eventually you’ll be equity in a home again.
