Yes, it's normal when housing prices have massively inflated due to ultra-low interest rates, then rates returned to normal.
If DINKs can't afford it, what does that tell you about the direction housing prices will go?
- metadat 4y ago> If DINKs can't afford it, what does that tell you about the direction housing prices will go? Elites and wealthy boomers will keep soaking up resources, then prices may become volatile in a southward direction. In the meantime, the current generation is frozen in place, unable to progress in a rigged game.

- swexbe 4y agoSeems like a pretty risky investment. Especially as fewer and fewer people will have anything to gain from the NIMBY policies artificially increasing prices.
- humanrebar 4y agoThe market (and NIMBY regs) can stay irrational longer than you can stay housed.
- selcuka 4y agoHistorically speaking, investing in property/land has never turned out risky. Initial cost has little significance in total profit calculation as long as you can seek rent indefinitely.
- refurb 4y agoClearly not since housing prices are falling due to affordability. And if you look at the capital buying up houses, it's a tiny fraction of all available housing out there. The correct answer is - just like when housing prices went up with low interest rates, they'll go down with high interest rates.
