I'm not sure that this is good or not... it seems to me the lending structure of the Federal Reserve itself needs reform, as well as general banking regulations in the US to probably be closer to Canada (similar to post great depression US before massive deregulation).
I'm not one for excessive regulation, preferring a more Libertarian pov. The Fed makes the entire process and incentives just lopsided imo. Right now, too many people that would like to move are simply stuck in place, including myself, as trying to sell/move is impractical as buying in another area, owing the same amount even, would be 2-3x as costly because of interest rates.
The current state seems to disproportionately affect individuals over larger banking institutions.
- thoughtstheseus 4y agoHome equity is at record highs and basically everyone has super low interest rates locked in for decades. Unless you top-ticked and bought a house in 2021 with no equity you’re fine.
- tracker1 4y agoNo, I'm not... as I would like to MOVE ... which would break me from my low-interest with equity into a much higher interest, much more expensive mortgage.
