what's that mean? that less mortgages are going to be processed because the market's about to crash and everyone's houses are about to lose a bunch of value, and then subsequently get bought by extremely rich people who then jack the prices up to higher than they were before(now)?

no, but nobody is gonna re-finance their mortgage to a lower rate since lower rates arent available. also less loans will be issued going forward bc they're less good of a deal

i dont think it portends anything significant beyond 'more rate increases = less demand for loans'

I'm just a computer toucher so I don't have much insider information other than banks are seeing 'headwinds' over the next 6 months. That's all I know

Edit: as in I touch (repair) the computers of the people who do work in the industry. I haven't had the chance to gossip with anyone lately because most of the people in my office are still remote

my interpretation is that with how much institutional money has flooded into the market in earnest (i.e., REIT's are now playing the game instead of the mere financialization of individual ownership via MBS's) that poor people who have to borrow money to own a house will have a harder time doing so. That means they'll have an even harder time borrowing the excessive amount necessary to compete with above-asking cash offers from institutional investors. The market will cool a little bit but it won't crash because (1) those who already own are locked in at low rates and (2) institutions are already just renting out what they bought anyways and borrowed at even lower rates than individual homeowners ever had access to to begin with.

Basically those who had a balance sheet to begin with won out. Those of us trying to build a balance sheet are now further priced out.

I did take some notes from the last employee meeting:

- 'significant headwinds', seeing a slowdown of mortgage originations already
- the aggressive jacking up of mortgage rates is loving up the banks' tap of endless free money
- Refinance and HELOC loans are down
- housing builds are getting stalled out due to a lack of labor as well as supplies, specifically garage doors which have 6+ month lead times
- commercial real estate had a slow start to the year but they expect it to get better with companies forcing return to office plans

Advice is "don't panic" :derp:

If houses go way down in value due to less demand because mortgage rates go up, there'll still be affordability problems b/c now you're looking at 7, 8, 9% interest rates to buy even less house (in terms of sq ft) than you could when rates were at ~2.5% at the bottom.

Like, clearly there was an appetite (either from yuppie pmc types or blackrocks) for mortgages even at these crazy price points, you can probably predict the "bottom" for housing prices by just take the average monthly all-in price at the peak (like 1600/mo at 2.5-3%) and plug in 7% or whatever to find what the new median is.

Am I off-base here? This seems to make sense in my mind anyway, I wouldn't expect you to magically be able to lock in a 30-year at like 4 or 500/mo if the market crashes and even if you could at that price it means blackrock gets 4 houses for the price of one now.

Rents in Nashville are loving rough right now. Tennessee is a $7.25/hr minimum wage state too.

quote:

According to Rent.com, the average rent for apartments in Nashville, TN, is between $1,585 and $2,658 in 2022. For a studio apartment in Nashville, the average rent is $1,860. For a one-bedroom, the average rent is $1,991, and for a 2-bedroom is $2,658.

According to the data, prices are up 50% compared to last year for a two-bedroom in Nashville.

And a picture:



It's off market now.

if interest rates get to a point where mortgages are 7% and higher, it’s not just about housing and wide swathes of the economy that rely on the money printer are going to implode

the current bump in mortgage rates is just from the Fed prepping markets for a 0.5% interest rate hike in July

What's the plan for when employees tell them to gently caress off and quit instead? Or are they still stubbornly assuming that labor is an infinite pool to draw from?

this makes sense to me, too. similar to car buying, most people probably look at it as "we can afford $X per month". when rates are consistent, you can accurately estimate a purchase price of $Y will result in $X per month. with rates increasing at an unknown rate, unless you're ready to buy today, you might want to back off for a bit because you suddenly can't gauge what your payments will be based on the purchase price alone

Rent 1800 a month, you pay all utilities except trash (I'm not a monster) must make 3x monthly rent, 800+ credit score, will need a LOR from congressman, also first, last months rent due and 3600 security deposit

yes, my parents' mortgage starting in '83 was like 18%

my dad has refinanced that house a dozen times since then, and the current monthly payment is less in absolute dollars (i.e. unadjusted for inflation) than it was in '83

yes and new homes built when the interest rate was 15-20% were 80k while median household income was around 24k.

again, median household income right now is around 32k while houses cost 4-10 times what they used to. it is an insane situation, there's no other way to describe it.
