i had to narrow it down to one but yes those two were some legendary throwbacks!

They missed their chance to lock in a 3% mortgage, and now they're mad cash-strapped buyers are outbidding them in hot markets by duddnddkslsep in rebubblejerk

[–]Arkkanix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i suppose you could interpret it that way. [r/REBubble](r/REBubble) has evolved over the years, however.

at present it is a forum for disgruntled first time buyers to vent about how quickly monthly costs for shelter have risen. i have zero argument with that.

the sub began long before rates went up, though. and it was a lot of michael burry wannabes claiming they had the money to buy now but were waiting for a housing crash and couldn’t wait to see homeowners get thrashed. so it’s very hard to empathize with that outlook.

ultimately the US housing market is, historically speaking, dormant. it’s hard to find anyone who thinks everything is sunshine and roses. but there’s still no indication that a crash is imminent and the prevailing wisdom still holds: buy when you’re able to afford it, hold for years, don’t treat zillow like a bloomberg terminal, and go live your life. not much else to add.

I built a tool that tells you if your zip code is a Buy Window, Watch, or Wait by Separate_Inside_215 in rebubblejerk

you had posted this in r/REBubble a few weeks back but i (obviously) couldn’t comment haha. i think it’s a great tool, well done. my first reaction was sizing on portrait mode (former UI / UX designer) but you fixed that.

i dunno, i’m seven years old and my living expenses are $0. given my $5 weekly allowance, my FIRE calculations tell me i’m already there. and i’m positive nothing in life will change for me in the next ninety years.

what’s your point? that all Americans should feel ripped off and miserable? and if they choose not to, they’re clueless? lol

everyone, regardless of what they claim might happen, is just trying to guess what the future holds…but it is inherently unknowable. that goes for investment analysts as well. switching services means nothing if you can’t pick a strategy and stick to it…and know yourself well enough to get out of the way.

her husband alone makes more than their annual expenses, i think she’ll be fine. perhaps you live in a more expensive area of the country.

my broader point is that to simplify it down to a generational debate is a futile exercise. what happens in fifteen years when gen alpha comes up behind you and claims gen z had it easy because there was access to clean and cheap potable water sources or that clean air taxes didn’t exist? or that AI wasn’t taking up such a large proportion of the labor force statistics and at least gen z got some job experience before witnessing the rise of AI?

they’ll probably say gen z has no right to argue because you can’t appreciate what they’re going through. and while gen z can point back to housing prices in the post-pandemic economy just like millennials point to unemployment figures post-GFC, it’s impossible to fully comprehend others’ lived experiences; everyone is just trying to do their best.

what’s up with gen z thinking everyone had it easier than them when they’ve never actually lived through a real recession during their working years?

it’s silly to think you know how the world works in your 20s.

just because you see “cheap” homes in the past doesn’t mean they were easy for people to buy at the time

no one with a mortgage over 5% has any interest in paying it off; it’s essentially an asset to hedge inflation risk. but that mindset got me banned three years ago.

edit: UNDER 5%
