[@nathanm2891]

The investment value of real estate is supposed to be in the ability to pay it off before retiring. Housing is usually a persons biggest expense. If they pay that off before retiring, then retirement shouldn’t be as expensive. All of the investing and prospecting is driving the cost so high people can’t retire. They can’t get ahead of costs with their investments.

Adding wages to the Schiller chart would be nice to see

[@FreedomTalkMedia]

A housie does not have to grow in real value for it to be an investment. Rent goes up every year, your principal and interest stay the same and eventually end. In many states, taxes are limited in how fast they can grow. If you stay in a house long term, your cost of living will go down vs renting, most years. Then when it's paid off, your cost of living falls sharply.

[@FreedomTalkMedia]

It could very well be that people who buy a house today will have to wait 10 years for it to be the same value as what they paid for it. My home that I bought in 2003 didn't reach the same value again until 2020. That is nominal value. Inflation adjusted my home is worth less today than in 2003, even with these crazy prices.

In my area low income housing is needed, but many developers like yourself are building luxury apartments or luxury homes which does nothing for the buyer who needs a home.

[@danilleelise624]

That is correct. The numbers don't work for affordabel housing. That is part of the problem. Land costs, labor and supplies make it a negative venture.

I feel this, as a cabinetmaker, I make a decent living on luxuriius interiors yet. Its not enough to afford to purchase a home of my own, as there is simply no options for lower income homeowners.

[@Justin-zh6cs]

40 year loans seems stupid to me. Yeah it might lower your payment by a little bit, but each year of extension on the loan has less of an effect on the monthly payment. The payment will never go lower than the 1st month’s interest obligation. Otherwise the loan will not be amortized.

Just because housing prices are increasing does not make it a good investment and the opposite as well. Ever hear of buy low sell high. Just based on an investment perspective your advice is poor. Besides the fact that younger generations cannot afford their first homes. This sounds like elitism. I believe in rational fair markets which this housing and stock market bubble is not. I think we need a healthy solid correction in stocks and real estate to reset to normality. It would cause short term pain but would be healthy long term.

That Shiller report needs one more overlap. That’s the % of Americans that actually owned a home. Prior to the 1970’s home ownership was about 50% of the population. You see everyone talk about not being able to afford a home now, it’s not even close compared to 1900-1970. You had to have 50% down and got financing for 10 years. And you better know somebody at the bank.

[@jasonroberts9357]

Whatever man. It's not even close to a comparison nowadays. 1970 avarage salary: 9k 1970 average home price: around 20k. A house only costing around 2 times the average salary? Oh they were so dissadvantaged back then! GTFOH

I'd rather have my stock portfolio be a good investment than the roof over my head. Having stocks is optional, a place to live is not.

I Always ask the stock folks. Can you live in your stocks? Can you rent your stocks out to someone and have them pay off your stocks for you?

[@Spry011]

By that explanation your logic makes no sense. If you have to purchase the home, it makes sense to shop wisely and make a good investment such as with price and location. Whereas since stocks are optional, not buying them makes more sense especially as you have 0% control over the value of the stock. At least with a house you can fix it up and upgrade it.

[@zwatwashdc]

@@Spry011sort of a financially illiterate answer. The return on stocks is much greater over 30 years than the return on a mortgage. People are better off trying to get the lowest cost shelter and plowing money into stocks - if we are talking getting rich over the medium to long term. The banks are the ones that get rich on your mortgage, not you.

Housing construction costs will always keep the prices in equilibrium.

[@bigscores7237]

Replacement cost will always be a factor in valuation. But RE is a depreciating asset too. The fact that a new 3-series costs $55k has almost no effect on the resale value of 10-year-old examples. If prices get to a point where they're just plain unaffordable for anyone near the median buyer, which they clearly are now, then the market will correct regardless of replacement cost.

[@johnnyb33good21]

It's not about us being saved by Donald Trump. It's that the biden-harris administration has been in power for the last 3.5 years. 1. We still have an open border with millions of illegal immigrants crossing, which keeps wages low and reduces the supply of housing, making it expensive, 2. we are still sending billions of our US dollars to Ukraine and other countries to fight proxy wars instead of investing in our own country and citizens. 3. Inflation and prices are still high. And it's hard for everyday Americans to get by when food, gas, rent, home prices, car prices, interest rates, and everything is expensive. the Harris campaign is making a bunch of promises. Kamala says she wants to "turn the page to a better future." Well, we've been there before, and she's currently in the White house with Joe Biden, and we can see what they have accomplished for the last 3.5 years. Why aren't they keeping good on those promises now? I remember when Donald Trump's administration was in office. interest rates were low, inflation was lower, we had no new wars, we still had illegal immigrants crossing the border, but it was at a much lower rate. Life was easier to get by for the average everyday American under Donald Trump's Administration

If you think of it as an investment and your ability to retire your lost. They say in this video that unless you got lucky in the market, no the market has always Done well. The market has never lost money. If you lost a lot of money in the market, it’s because you were invested in the wrong things and I say that because you should follow the advice of Dave Ramsey and invest in a mutual fund that is proven itself for the 30 year Track record. All my friends said they made money with their homes and they would move and get a bigger home when I asked them what they paid with their monthly payment was over the amount of time they were there it never panned out. I bought a smaller home paid it off in 15 years and lived here for a long time. Thus I was able to put my income into the stock market where I did well with compound interest and now I’m able to retire.Dave Ramsey don’t listen to any of these clowns on KZbin
