Most home owners don't have a mortgage and many home buyers don't need finance as far as I am aware. I may be wrong. If I am correct, then the cash rate has less effect than the MSM suggests on house prices & the cash rate has less effect on house prices too.

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Sydney in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

I love your videos, I find them quite informative even though I'm not a millennial or Gen Z. I thought I would share my conundrum as GenXer. I was super lucky, and got my house before everything went completely insane. was even lucky enough to refinance at a 2.9% interest rate. But when I bought the house (4 bedroom 2 bath, acre of land) I had a boyfriend, a roommate 2 cats and a dog. But now its just me, split with the boyfriend, roommate moved in with their significant other and I feel trapped with this house. I am totally overwhelmed trying to maintain it. I cant afford to pay for a handyman or a yard person. And its just too much for me to do myself. I've tried getting other roommates but things haven't been great and it's scary as a single older lady(49). Now, I could sell the house, and get a good price for it, but it seems insane to end up paying twice as much for a one bedroom apartment as I am for the mortgage + tax escrow on my current place. Like I know how super lucky I am and I shouldn't complain, but I'm honestly not sure where to go from here as none of the options are really seem good. This market is insane, I honestly don't know how the younger generations are going to make it. Are we moving to a nation of having to have roommates for the rest of our life just to get by?

All we've done since 2008 is delay the inevitable. Believe it or not, the US economy needs a depression and historically, in the west, there's been one in the 20s and 30s for about the last 1000 years. Our current national debt levels are the highest since the Napoleonic Wars... 200 years ago, and we're in a peacetime economy...

Buying a house requires math skills you should have acquired in the third grade. Basic percentage math. You also need to be able to forecast a budget and should be prepared for fluctuations in that budget. (i.e if you buy a home at 4% have contingencies in your budget that allow you to still afford it at 7%). In Canada, we have to renegotiate our mortgages every five years so this is important. I understand in the U.S. you can sign a full 25 year mortgage at a single rate. What I did, and if you can do it I highly recommend it, is build your house yourself. I bought empty land just outside my local city and built my house with my own two hands. The upside is I have a 'materials only' mortgage, because all the labor I did myself, making my mortgage tiny. The equity on day one became the down payment because the house is valued at twice the mortgage. I am a Millennial and this one move, as well as a little disciplined investing, has given me a net worth of just under a million. I know it's not something everyone can do, but I hear so many people my age complaining about the cost of living, and then not go look for an alternative that will solve their problem. I don't come from money, I make an average income, and I don't have a college degree. There is nothing special about me. Anyone with a work ethic could do what I did and be comfortable.

Prices will just keep on rising becuase they're undrpriced right now.

Real estate is all data. We can go back 50 years to see patterns that exist, with the exception of the 2008 crash. They don't teach that in real estate school, though. Because real estate is seasonal, we tend to see a slow down in the Fall (correction), anyways, especially around the holidays. The 2021 -2022 market was an anomaly, and of course houses flew off the market. Interest rates were low, inventory was also low. Prices have continued to rise and I wouldn't call it a correction necessarily due to the gains made over the past years. Houses will sit longer, with price reductions, but those reductions aren't even equivalent to the equity gained. Sellers can afford to reduce because of that reason alone.

That’s not true if you don’t plan on living in your home for less than 10 plus years, because during that time interest rates are the majority of your payment, so you have very little equity in the house. Also, home repairs are very expensive (like $30,000 every 10 ten years for a new roof, etc.). And your neighborhood’s value could go down. And a natural disaster could destroy your home (often insurance won’t cover costs and if they do it will take years).
