No where near record highs. The 1970-80s were many multiples higher interest.

Its the highest they’ve been in 40 years.
Besides, as CloverKnoll Farms so accurately stated, the goalposts have been moved.

It's seems like we as Americans just want to see the "other side" fail, even if that means we all fail.

I don't want anyone to fail. I also don't want to be told I'm winning, when it's a lie. Americans are lemmings.

Social distancing... They admitted it was ARBITRARY. But, the "good people" wished death on those who questioned, because they were TOLD it was science. It was bullshit. Like most government propaganda. Keep trusting the "experts". Solid D students working at the highest levels.

Whi is saying you're winning? I need a cheerleader like that.

Statistics are easy to manipulate. And people always believe "experts".

People need places to live. When we moved to our current location in 2005, we bought at the high point of the market. Then the market crashed in 2008 and the property value was less than we paid for it. Since we didn’t move, the value is now about 30% above the purchase price. Price fluctuations only matter if you are buying/selling over a short term.

Depends on the location. In some areas, over time, the whole area can deteriorate to the point people just abandon their homes. Because they become worthless.

Trust me, I need lower interest rates more than you, but they‘ve been at record highs for 2+ years.
We need change

November 2024 can’t get here soon enough.

It happened in my city of Oakland in the 70’s when abandoned homes were offered for $1 if you moved in and made improvements.

40-50 years later the dollar homes sell for $600-750k
