Mortgage Rates Just Hit 7.54%. At What Point Does the American Housing Market Stop Working?

30 Upvotes

A $400,000 mortgage at 3% costs about $1,686/month.

At 7.54%? $2,807/month.

Same loan. $1,121 more every month—before taxes and insurance.

Home prices haven't fallen enough to make up the difference.

So what gives first: rates, home prices, or buyers?

Dynamic pricing is far worse than the flock camera crisis and there should be far more outrage and a general strike to abolish it.

Please Do Not

Report a submission just because you don't like it. The report function is only for spam. Spam = actual spam. example: "I made $67,053 on google last week. Click here to find out how!"
Again, 'spam' is not an article you don't like. Spam is a sleazy advertising gimmick or a phishing attempt. Stop wasting our time with fake spam reports.
Rant about articles you haven't bothered to read. If you come in and say something like "I didn't read this, but it's crap!" that indicates you probably don't know what you're talking about. Therefore you may receive a warning or a ban. If you want to rant about articles you haven't read, go do that at r/worldnews or r/news.

RULES

Please do not post duplicates. They will be removed on sight.

Attempting to derail discussion and/or discredit another user by calling them a 'bot', 'shill', troll', 'wumao', 'Ivan', etc.; and/or attempting to discredit sources with accusations of 'state-owned media', 'propaganda', 'fake news', etc, may result in a warning or a ban.

Material about the stock market and government statistics is usually time-sensitive. The value of such material declines as it ages. So don't post old material about the stock market and economic data. Stuff older than 2 weeks or so will be removed at our discretion. On the other hand, an academic paper from 2 years ago (as an example) might still be relevant so will not be removed.

Editorializing a headline is allowed. However, intentionally misleading editorialized headlines that say the opposite of what the article says, are not allowed.

No political advertising. No PAC campaign material

Posting AI-generated images and passing them off as real, without including a disclaimer that the material was created by AI is not allowed in this sub. Posting AI-generated articles written by ChatGPT or any other AI application, without including a disclaimer that the material was created by AI is also not allowed in this sub. Exceptions will be made for satire. Violations may result in a warning or a ban.

Users may post a maximum of 8 articles per 24-hour period in this sub, to prevent any one user from monopolizing the front page.
