Its funny that Nick Gerli is the guy who tweeted this is - One of the top 3 guys on Youtube that got rich talking about how the housing market is going to crash since late 2020, and were still waiting.

If his gullible subscribers bought a home back in 2021 when rates were 3% for $275k-$350k instead of listening to him, most would be paying $1850 or less for a whole house and not a 2 bedroom apartment. But now the median home price is over $400k, interest rates have doubled, and Americans Pandemic savings have dried out.

The average from that tweet is 1800 rent. That is not bad. And in 2023 prices id say its on the affordable side. 7k to move in is ridiculous. We're talking about the numbers in the tweet
where im at the pay is shyt, but the COL is high af

2k apartments...charging 16-18 for 30 year old apts

The country reassessed my house last year, which tripled my property taxes. I'm gonna appeal as soon as the appeal window opens. I'm still only paying $1420 for the entire mortgage tho with that tax increase factored in.
I got hit upside the head last year because the house got assessed and my property taxes took my mortgage from 1320 to 1950.

Yo this is insane.

:damn:
Fortunately for me its only because my mortgage company paid the difference that year and didn't even notify us until they was ready to get that tax money back so my escrow account was negative :mjcry:. I'm bracing myself to pay 1600 after its all said and done though.

I don’t get this. How they gonna jack up property taxes like 50% out of nowhere?

This whole country is a goddamn mafia.

Yo this is insance that people are buying houses still because of the rental market being out of control. The next housing bust is going to shyt on the 08 recession if people aren't able to refi :damn:
I've been hearing this but I don't get it. The 2008 crash was due to banks with bad products and giving homes to people who couldn't afford them. Now, people are buying what they could afford so I don't understand where the crash will come from. :yeshrug:

That's the part of the problem. Alot of these people are buying based off of being able to refi later but alot of these homes are over valued especially in the suburbs

They not that crazy to let that happen lol. It's a game of chicken.
First chip[ to fall is going to be commercial real estate due to people working remote and not wanting to be in a office and companies not seeing the value in buildings that cost millions to run every year.
