   400k homes in Denver have become 750k in the past 4 years. Add the higher interest rates and you get a mortgage that was 1500/mo and is now 4500/mo.

   I feel fox business only invites a certain group of guests. Only those who blame mortgage rates. The problem is the greed of real estate investors and ridiculous real estate commissions and fees.

   The only way I was able to afford a home was to give up on the idea of having kids and basically going through my budget and gutting most of the non-necessary spending like going out to eat, vacations, processed foods, meat, soda, canceling all streaming services, reducing insurance policies, going to the cheap mobile phone plan etc.

   Personally I think it was worth it because there is nothing better than owning a home.

   For most, home ownership was and is still is a top priority, but that is being stripped away and only getting worse.

    Home prices and rent prices needs to be drop on the same time otherwise everyone literally everyone will try to buy a house. But first try to lower rent cost so more people are willing to rent than buy

    It's not the mortgage rate that's the issue. It's the price of houses being $100k over priced. Higher prices means higher insurance and property taxes.

    The American dream was never to be 30 years in mortgage debt. The bank would try to convince you otherwise.

    “Let’s curb limited liability corporations and private investors, at least in regard to residential real estate, more aggressively than just requiring full transparency. There must remain a path to opportunity for individuals and families in the residential real estate market. To make this possible, LLC and private investor participation in residential real estate must be severely limited. An individual seller’s opportunity to maximize his or her profit should not be the only dictate. Affordable residential real estate and rent is critical, indeed paramount, to societal quality of life.”

    The housing market is supposed to work in a certain way – people sell their homes to downsize as they age, become empty nesters, or upsize to support their growing family, and builders construct new homes. These activities create a balanced housing market for both sellers and buyers. However, the current housing market is different. Large corporations such as Zillow engage in market manipulation for profit, Tricon Residential Inc. purchases single-family homes and turning them into rental properties, and ‘Ibuyers such as Opendoor Technologies Inc. purchase and hold houses waiting for prices to increase so they can flip them for profit, among others, heavily influence today's market. Unfortunately, these corporations are negatively affecting home affordability for everyone, including both buyers and sellers. Therefore, our national, state, and local community governments must take into account the harmful effects that these organizations are having on home affordability and the entire economy.

    Lower mortgage rates will suck in a few more fools, but the party is over.

    Real estate and automobiles have been overpriced for a long time and that probably won't change until we go into a deep recession.

    To conclude: It is a DISGRACE unseen since the founding of this great country that housing is not affordable for younger generations.

    Breath of fresh air? I almost spit out my coffee. You’re out of your mind. The interest rate isn’t keeping buyers away.

    What I don't understand is that when mortgage rates hit extreme lows (~3%) home values go way up, but when mortgage rates go up home values either stay the same or continue to rise. How can average homes be unaffordable and out of reach for most people yet hold their value?

    The Government owns your house. They let you play "pretend" to make you feel better. Stop paying your taxes and see if you really own your house.
