Krystal Ball: The Next Housing CRISIS Is Here And The Villains Are Exactly Who You'd Expect

[@Rochelletrem]

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

[@berkrix4312]

I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!

[@jeffery_Automotive]

Soon, cheap homes won't be cheap anymore because prices today will look like dips tomorrow. I think inflation will cause panic until the Fed tightens its grip even more. You can't just pull the band-aid Off half way. Booms and busts are the ups and downs of the economy, and they will affect any investments. If you are at a crossroads or need honest advice on the best steps to take right now, it is best to get counsel from a financial expert.

They work for wages and pay for their lifestyle with those wages. The need to borrow anything imposes a burden but the real hustle is the belief that lower rates are helpful, when they are not.

@@anniesshenanigans3815 but this time around you aren’t seeing ARM’s as the vast majority are fixed rates and there are stricter and more verified DTI’s. So while homes are inflated, qualified borrowers are buying them and even if values drop, the owners will continue to be able to make their payments. What I’m seeing in my market (Phoenix) is that the inventory is sooo low because these institutions are scooping anything and everything up and paired with a large influx of out of state buyers leaving California and other states, it makes for a blood bath of competition when a house hits the market. I just don’t see how there could be a huge crash (at least in my market) other than if the institutional investors dumped their entire pool of homes and jacked the supply up. But why would they do that?

@@tinchauea this isn't really a housing bubble in the usual way. because people are simply investing their money currently because interest rates are low. but inflations about to hit when the pandemic ends. when that happens house prices may go down a little but they're still going to be way higher than they are now. so it's really about people putting their money into something finite that will increase with inflation. for example I bought a house for $50,000 in 2005. That house is now worth150 to 200k. so at this point you're kind of gambling with your money when you consider inflation. if you don't invest into something before inflation hits. then you can calculate the margin of money you're going to lose out of every dollar you have. and in the last year between both administrations they printed something like 40% of the entire money that ever existed in America. so while you may be able to find something perhaps cheap 4 or 5 Years From now.. there's also the good chance that you're just pissing away money on rent.

Have you considered relocating to a market that is less competitive but still offers decent quality of life? Sometimes we must think outside the box and make major changes in order to achieve our goals, and if time is not on your side then the only option is to open up the decision space to consider more options. With many jobs being remote these days, people can often pick and choose any community to live, and take their remote job with them. That said, I agree the housing crisis is real and is already happening, with many folks earning sub-middle class incomes feeling the rising cost burden of rent. Unfortunately, rent only goes up.

[@foreign_agent]

@First Last There are plenty of countries where home ownership is not even an option, due to corruption, crime, lack of economic opportunity and so on. Fortunately, the US is a country where property ownership is attainable if one is willing to put in the time and hard work to save even a modest amount of capital. The home ownership system in this country might not be perfect but it works rather well for a large enough number of people. If it does not work for a given individual, the first place to look might be in the mirror.

[@foreign_agent]

@First Last I can agree with that. Home ownership is fundamental to national identity in the US as a mark of success, and is etched into the social consciousness. It is part of the American Dream. As to reasons for comparison, it is simple: most immigrants do come to the US from 3rd world countries. They therefore feel that they owe it to themselves and their family to 'make it', and you don't make it here until you have something to show for it. What better than a house to be able to say, 'this is mine.' Hard to top that as a symbol of success. And as with anything, where there is strong inflexible demand, there will be supply at all costs, fraud, scams, and hustlers taking advantage of the unsuspecting consumer. Buyer beware.
