Rising mortgage rates and stricter lending criteria are already making it harder for people to buy homes. I’m not sure how this will affect property values or whether now is even a good time to invest in real estate.
Exactly! I’ve also been worried about the ripple effects. Inflation, coupled with potential job market instability, could make it harder to hold onto property or even find tenants for rental units. I think diversifying your portfolio is critical right now to reduce exposure to just one type of investment.
I was in a similar situation last year, and my CFA, Joseph Nick Cahill, really helped me navigate it. He’s experienced in portfolio management and knows how to balance risk while still aiming for significant growth. His free consultations are a great way to start exploring your options.
That’s a solid recommendation! I’ve been trying to manage my investments myself, but I’m constantly second-guessing my decisions. Between market volatility and potential housing market shifts, I feel like I need a strategy that doesn’t rely too heavily on just one sector.
Overleveraging in real estate or ignoring high-growth sectors like tech or energy could leave you vulnerable. It’s smart to seek advice now, especially with someone like Joseph Nick Cahill, who has a proven track record of helping clients achieve financial security and even millionaire status over time.

the interest rate is not the problem. Its the high property taxes, HOA, PMI, and homeowner Insurance .... that is making it impossible to own a modest home.
People should separate their mortgage from taxes and insurance you’re allowed to do it. You can get a separate bill for your insurance. You can get a separate bill for your property taxes and all you’ll be left with. Is your mortgage payment?
My HOA fee in a certain section of Indianapolis is only going up by $2 for the next year. It’ll be $90.30 due every 3 months instead of $88 due every 3 months. I’m lucky. The monthly payments are expensive enough.
Do not be put off by higher interest rates! Back in the 80’s these were the rates: 1980 13.74% 1980 16.64% 1986 10.19% 1989 10.25% Besides, you can always renegotiate after obtaining the mortgage loan!
@@Chi-Guy you’re correct, you can always renogiate mortgage rate. But you can’t renogiate the price you paid. Better to wait and see the effects of the higher interest rates kick in. Then you’ll be able to buy a house for a lower purchase price at a higher interest rate. Then you have the possibility of negotiating the interest rate.
I'm in a fairly nice suburb of Cincinnati but not wealthy. I don't see any new construction for middle class homes. Everything I pass is for the affluent/upper middle class. Then there's the apartment complexes that aren't even affordable for the working class. So we are going to end up with McMansions and apartments and trailer parks but no new construction that is affordable for the middle class. This just causes more people to lose faith in unregulated capitalism. Many university students don't even believe that free enterprise is going to work for them. I have 2 nieces who r both graduates of high end schools and neither one has a well paying job. The main positive thing is they both met their husbands there but as far as employment/income they haven't gotten much return on investment. I'm talking here about Princeton U and the U of Chicago which u can Google for the current cost.
All I keep hearing is that it’s not profitable to build smaller affordable homes🙁How are they getting away with this crap? Not everyone wants McMansion but there’s no other options.
@Mikey-w9q It's funny how finally the talking heads as some call them r now admitting that it was completely stupid to push the idea that everyone should go to college etc. I eat out daily and it's common to talk with the server and find out that they have a college degree.

Plus, banks can determine interest rates, that capitalism and those are facts. Either way, the majority of the home owners refinanced their homes under Trump.

Stop buying new cars, expensive unnecessary college debt, go to community college, dont need newests phones every year. Quit buying Starbucks everyday if your living check to check. Baby steps but you can get there
Housing price increases have outpaced inflation by 150% Since 1970. In the 1970's home prices were 2.6 times the median income compared to a current ratio that is over 5 times the median income. These young people are not "whining". They are being realistic about their prospects for home ownership. And a home that is 5x their income that is increasing in price by even 4-6% each year is outpacing any savings they can manage to put together.
That's economic theory in an an isolated bubble. You need to overlay it with: 1) how many people can afford homes at current prices, let alone with an increase. 2) is there actually a shortage or is it artificial? I think sales can't go up until middle class salaries do some serious jumping. And I don't see a real shortage, I see older people with one or two people leaving in 4-5 bedroom/2 bath houses because they can't afford to downsize due to the same housing bubble we're discussing. That's not a real shortage. Parts of eastern Europe had an actual housing shortage in the 80s, where you had to live with your parents after school not because you couldn't afford an apartment, but because of a lack of apartments available for everyone looking. That's very much the opposite of what's going on right now
My first condominium while new and affordable suffered a mortgage paying 12.5%. It was a variable rate loan which fell year after year to about 6.5%. As the mortgage rate fell, the value of my home rose by 36%. My most recent home I again bought with a variable rate loan, 2.75% adjustable after five years. With mortgage rates that low, in the term of the mortgage, the value of the home rose 64% to its current value. My experience tells me so.
@@PRT709 OK but this sort of math can't continue exponentially forever and is capped at when home prices get around 6X the median household income because people literally can't afford the houses, even if the rate is 0%. We hit a point where homes were 8X the average household income, which is why sales hit a 30 year low. Also if you held houses this long with those rates, your going back to historic prices where things were (can't even imagine this now) cheap! Again, cant extrapolate that forward, unless you think houses can get so expensive that we have 400 year mortgages.
If a homeowner or estate needs to sell under such demanding conditions, the list price will fall. And, I have seen that once in the slow periods for a bit, home builders will need income and build regardless of interest rates and general conditions.
I am exiting from my rental property business, as my insurance and taxes are more than my mortgages, and It’s only becoming speculative the money I would make is only on application and not cash flow anymore.
I have stated the same prediction a week or so ago. We need to build more new homes and keep on lowering interest rates. But lowering interest rates might spike inflation.
That's the old theory people keep saying and it's not helping because it's not aligning with reality. In reality, we had insane price increases due to rich people leaving cities in a rush during covid, and now greedy home sellers/realtors treating those insanely high prices as some new floor/"comp" and refusing to lower prices, no matter if only 2% of households can afford their mediocre house. This is very much not solvable by tweaking interest rates. Also people keep forgetting housing is not prices on supply/demand, it's based on comps. A real estate agent will always pick the highest price sale in the area and will refuse to budge from there. The issue now is, the comps are people who left places like NYC in a mad rush and paid $700K for houses that were $400K pre-covid. And now sellers are pretending $700K is the natural price for their house even though only a few percent of households can afford it
1. High federal government deficit, means when they auction bonds, they have to pay higher interest rates to the buyers because of the risk of potential future defaults. The mortgage rates are benchmarked against the 10 year bond. 2. Higher inflation due to potential higher tariffs in 2025. Due to Fed rate cuts ur credit card and savings rate are the only rates impacted and would go down.
The problem is that in order to have "permanent roof" with amenities like electricity, gas and water, either the tenant or the owner must somehow pay insurance and property taxes. As a result, a lot of people live in tents, at least in California, where I presently dwell. Not a single mortgage, tax, rent, or insurance.

I am exiting from my rental property business, as my insurance and taxes are more than my mortgages, and It’s only becoming speculative the money I would make is only on application and not cash flow anymore.
Consider Bitcoin. Digital real estate
Insurance companies have to raise rates to cover the artificially over priced homes.

I have stated the same prediction a week or so ago. We need to build more new homes and keep on lowering interest rates. But lowering interest rates might spike inflation.
Affordable housing?
That's the old theory people keep saying and it's not helping because it's not aligning with reality. In reality, we had insane price increases due to rich people leaving cities in a rush during covid, and now greedy home sellers/realtors treating those insanely high prices as some new floor/"comp" and refusing to lower prices, no matter if only 2% of households can afford their mediocre house. This is very much not solvable by tweaking interest rates. Also people keep forgetting housing is not prices on supply/demand, it's based on comps. A real estate agent will always pick the highest price sale in the area and will refuse to budge from there. The issue now is, the comps are people who left places like NYC in a mad rush and paid $700K for houses that were $400K pre-covid. And now sellers are pretending $700K is the natural price for their house even though only a few percent of households can afford it
Is there an expert that can provide concise, non-biased, explanation of why mortgage rates have not decreased as expected, even after fed rate cuts?
1. High federal government deficit, means when they auction bonds, they have to pay higher interest rates to the buyers because of the risk of potential future defaults. The mortgage rates are benchmarked against the 10 year bond. 2. Higher inflation due to potential higher tariffs in 2025.
Due to Fed rate cuts ur credit card and savings rate are the only rates impacted and would go down.
Wait until the 10 year hits 6% 😀
Great explanation. Saved me from having to write it.
