      Agreed. Much of the 2008 crash was caused by too much lending money chasing too few borrows. Schemes NINA loans with no income verification and no assets arose. I would be great to see things like a friend had to do, which was get people working at McDonalds into homes with the NINA loans. She left after a week because she knew these people were headed for bankruptcy.

      The market is in free fall and is being driven by the Must Sell sellers or those people who can't afford the carrying costs. The people who still have the means to pay the outrageous insurance, taxes, HOA's, etc. are the delusional ones who aren't budging, but their comps are being reset weekly by desperate sellers trying to avoid foreclosure. Look at the "price reduced" dates on Zillow to see downward velocity. You can also see the ever increasing "Days on Zillow" and the blood red map to get an idea of the crash coming.

      Indeed. This is the 1929-42 pattern, but with a reverse/bad war spending effect this time:
      It has been the precursor crash, brief boom due to policies help, then downward longterm spiral- followed by mass govt spending on mil.
      Missing is the infrastructure jobs works to benefit the nation and workers en masse and continuing, and currently the *internal* mil spending at the source and resource mfg stage.
      And the govt CAN'T spend on these in the mfg and real jobs level as that has been gutted domestically for too long.
      Meanwhile inflation is still drastically accelerating and fuel costs climbing without internal resource ramping, exactly like in the 1970s stagflation cycle...
      The outcome of this major depression and inflation cycle is highly likely to be a worst case scenario for normal working class and in debt older people, or those living where they cannot regulate base costs like prop taxes if not in debt.

    Correction on your report of the San Antonio food bank and the No fly zone by where the food bank is located. That no fly zone has always been in effect. You are next to lackland air fore base, Kelly air force and Medina. San antonio is military city USA. Alot of training goes on around that area. I also volunteer at the local food bank.

  • @KyserMont
    @KyserMont Місяць тому +13

    So I just want to point out a few things about San Antonio:
    1. This is a military heavy city. There are 3+ bases. 1/10 homebuyers in SATX are military therefore a lot of people using VA loans with 0 down.
    2. Melody said it herself but during recessions the job market tends to favor public sector over private sector jobs. This is why some people in Texas refer to San Antonio as “recession proof” city
    3. New construction and apartments are VERY stressed. I personally know someone who is closing on a new construction with a 4.25% interest rate (bought down by builder). Apartments are only requiring $250 security deposit for rent that is $1200+. Some are even saying if you pay rent ON TIME for 3 months, they’ll give you one month for free.
    Overall the signs are here that a recession is coming. But how long it will last is yet to be seen.

      We're told the national debt is increasing by one trillion dollars every 100 days or so. Currently the interest alone on the existing federal national debt is over one trillion dollars a year which is a huge portion of revenue and with a 'balloon' payment interest reset coming soon that debt interest payment will skyrocket even more thus eating into existing big programs. We're also hearing the end of the dollar as the global reserve currency is likely very near and that would itself trigger very painful hyperinflation. Too bad we have never had very honest MSM reporting and now it's getting to be worse in terms of hiding important facts.

    Austin became the "IT" destination during the pandemic. People in Tech in California and New York were told they could work from anywhere. They didn't have to buy a million dollar condo in NY or California. They could buy a home on 1/2 an acre for $500K so many did. All that influx drove up prices and, like before the Great Recession, everyone assumed prices would keep going up.Those buyer found out their employers want them back in the office. The Austin real estate boom they started, is turning into a bust. Home builders rushed in assuming that demand would be high so they flooded in with plans for new construction. No doubt, we'll see ripples of this across the country.

      I have been loyal to USAA for almost 50 years. Between cars and House I pay $7,500 annually for insurance. I to have priced other insurance companies but with USAA subscribers deposits and annual credits on profits it still is the best deal. I’m one of those customers who is an asset, meaning I pay premiums and never have claims. That being said I am considering dropping my homeowners entirely and self insuring.

      @,marisamartini1975 They're raising rates for a very good reason. There is another epidemic going on with illegals and vehicle accidents. When an uninsured illegal hits you it's covered by uninsured motorist. This is happening all over the country. I was T-boned by an illegal 2years ago destroying my truck. He got out of the car he was driving and ran. The cops working the accident said there wasn't much they could do and to file it to uninsured motorist. This is why rates are skyrocketing.

    • @marisamartini1975
      @marisamartini1975 Місяць тому +2

      @markferguson5652 oh I know! I grew up in a predominantly illegal neighborhood once I move out in 2008 just 15 miles away my ins rates dropped. But now with that type of culture all over this country rates are increasing with just a few pocket areas of exceptions. However nothing changed with my area of living currently BUT i was able to get a substantially much cheaper but same coverage car insurance. So everyone should price shop instead of just continuing to accept. I have lots of experience with Houston and the demographics since 1956. The agents of development have been used for decades here and are only now being experienced in the rest of the country.

    Houses they call them "matchboxes" for the quality and all, lease is over $3k for month for commercial and they are been empty for 2 or 3 years.

    This mess was created by the state of Texas and their expert appraisal department. They over exaggerated the home values in 2021, had excessive amount of surplus that did not return to home tax payers. I speak for experience my taxes went from 1300 to 15,300, my mortgage was $998 and went to $2200, had to pick up a second job to keep a roof over our family. Appraised value @$855k but realtor said we would be lucky right around $555k. Wait what? Why are we been charged taxes on an appraised value we can't sell homes for??? Yeap it's now for sale. Purchased land cash and waiting to sell to get a home...

    I've been to San Antonio a number of times. I don't think it will ever be like it was when I first visited it on a 6th grade Texas history trip back in 1989. It just felt so laid back. Sea World was fun. The river walk was cool. Even the Mexican markets or mercado was colorful & almost felt like being in the markets in Mexico City. Today it's probably too commercialized & becoming typical cookie cuter metropolis America. I'll always love the Alamo though.

    I live in San Antonio. So this is funny. I was just at the mall and it was wall to wall crowded. I think people don't go down to the Riverwalk because they just don't like going down to the Riverwalk it's a tourist area it's not really something locals care about. 😂 I mean who wants to see the Alamo everyday it's so boring. And if you're talking about the houses they have had a lot of construction but that's because a lot of people keep moving to San Antonio. We are the fastest growing city. What's going on that I've noticed with houses is that first everybody was selling because their homes were worth more but then they stopped when the interest rate went up. Some people got stressed out at their mortgage fluctuating due to high property taxes. Make sure you get your homestead exemption to avoid that. 😊 The only thing I've noticed different in my neighborhood is that of selling their homes most people are now renting them. Probably just waiting for the housing market to come back around.
