    Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

      I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!

      Would you mind providing details on the advisor who helped you? saving for a pension through a corporate program since the age of 18. I hit greater tax along the road, so I increased my company pension with a SIPP (tax benefits). I'm now 50 and would love to expand my finances more aggressively; there are a few automobiles I still want to drive and a few mega-vacations that I still want to take.

      According to one study 55.1 million American households can afford the median home at 7% mortgage rates, 60.5 million at 6% and 74.3 million at 3%. We don’t need the rates to go that low for getting enough people to get in the market to absorb what we have in _most of the country_.

      ​@@seanoconnor8138 That is a fair point. The difference in the number of households that qualify at 7 vs 8% is ~60% of the difference in the number of households that qualify at 6 vs 7% though. So, the increase in demand is non-linear as rates go down. Also, besides rates, buyer sentiment plays a role in demand as well. With election uncertainty getting resolved later in the year, it could help unlock more demand too. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.

    Dropping the FED funds rate 1/4 or 1/2 percent will do almost nothing for affordability. Plus there are a lot of cash buyers who can easily afford these new prices but don't want to feel like they are getting ripped off. Buying a $300K home for $500K for example. Renting is now smarter in most cases / areas. The sellers have to sell. The buyers don't need to buy. Prices will fall.

    Price and cost of ownership. You have to factor in items that are now much more significant like home insurance, taxes at a higher price, and hoa. Plus interest cost for the mortgage. So if it costs 2 to 3 times as much to i own the same investment, that investment has much less value
