In Reply to: the core issue is the affordability of homes... posted by Jim Pearce on April 19, 2022 at 04:27:49:
...I haven't forgotten the "last 'round" of this. Low-interest, high prices, and "predatory" lending practices. No one has apparently learned the definition of "variable rate" and/or "equity".
Sure--we can put you into that $500K home (that will be worth $350K in a year or two) with only 10% down and a variable rate (starting at ~2%, but it will be 5% by the time the property value has plummeted). Maybe, we could even talk you into a short-term mortgage with a balloon payment that you'll need to re-finance at the end (at 4X your original rate).
We've all seen this movie before--and apparently many did not learn anything.
