Maybe they cost too damned much?

Duh. It's the economy, stupid.

NOBODY could have predicted that a global trade war and looming recession with growing unemployment could POSSIBLY have any effect on big purchases like a house. I mean, that's as crazy as thinking that another Middle East war might affect oil prices ...

Back to the Great Recession eh? Durn that Joe Biden 🐸

🤣

“You ain’t seen nothing yet “

House prices have become ridiculous.

Like 2008, something’s gotta give.

Keep running the debt up with massive spending bills, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a forever war and watch the bond market tank for a long time. Trump is adding one more bankruptcy to his resume, our country.

Going up in Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Spain I guess?

They deserve it. Unfortunately everyone is paying for this idiotic cult

That is a broad rationale for housing in many metropolitan areas, but this particular area, the Main Line of Philadelphia, there is something else going on.

It is impossible to make it so that Grandma's 100-year-old home maintains its value AND to make it so that new buyers have an affordable option, and the policy makers ALWAYS side with existing homeowners.

That's what happens when the average American earner can't qualify for the price of the average American home. Add in saving the $40K+ in down payment and closing costs? Property insurance and taxes? Come on now.

Are we great again yet????

Oh good. Nothing bad was happening to the housing market in 2009

With inflation, willy-nilly tariffs, military action and threats of more, the contracting economy, who in their right mind would make a large long-term financial commitment right now?

Only betas need eye protection. He has superior jeans.

Vote fash, lose cash

Dang, I can’t believe that allowing corporate landlords to exist, seeing housing costs skyrocket, and the poor and middle class wages be worth less now than 20 years ago would be bad for the market. So weird

No one can afford appliances anymore with his tariffs.

Trump's winning economy 🤣

The majority of Americans cannot afford their basic needs. This has to change. People are desperate and angry, while leaders do nothing (or worse).

Winning !! 🤣

Wild, you mean that insane levels of economy uncertainty AREN'T good for the housing market?

Can’t beat these 3% interest rates we are all sitting on. Would be a terrible financial decision to move if you don’t have to.
