I know I’m supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like… I wouldn’t be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it’s scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

    Let it crash!

    Big housing prices only benefit the people owning multiple homes.

    Because it doesn’t matter what the housing cost is if you sell your only home, because you will need to buy a new home at the same cost anyway. Since everyone need a house to live.

      Not only that, if you have a small starter house you still benefit from a crash. That 400k house will become 250-300k, while your 180k house will just drop to 130-150k.
