I know I’m supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like… I wouldn’t be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it’s scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

    I mean, a crash is usually used and abused by the big players to gobble stuff up if they survived and didn’t go bankrupt (hell even if they do another whale usually swallows them) yet I don’t see another way for most people to afford a home. But then again, the area I’m in isn’t crashing even if the rest of the country does. If it resulted in lower rates would love to refinance tho, 5% isn’t great.
