Actually it is, especially if you use a rental agency. Thing is, MOST homeowners who only own ONE property as their primary residence aren't going to rent out their only home (regardless of value as long as they can afford it). They don't view their property as an investment. They view it as a place to live because chances are, it's cheaper than rent. If you don't get that, then you don't get it.

This is all great but you didn’t actually give any real indicators that we are about to crash

Again, I’ll be fine if we were to actually crash. I would probably actually do even better because investors will be frothing at the mouth at buying low priced deals

The vast majority of 1st time home buyers are not buying a home they plan on staying in forever
What starter homes? Practically everything built in last 40 years is 2000+ sqr feet. Very few american houses are too small for a family


For the house market to crash, you need a mass sell off. Why would people start selling their house at 2% interest and that they have 300k equity? What's the end game? To buy something even more expensive with 7% interest?


This artificially lowered supply will be around for a while. How is the market going to crash when there's always going to be more demand than supply? Every year you have first time home buyers trying to buy first home so it's not like demand goes down

For a $1 million home with $200k down and 7% interest rate:

The first year alone you're paying $55,500 in interest and $8,400 in principal. When you look at the yearly payment amount that's $64,000 in payments, which means you're effectively paying 87% of your payments towards interest. To me that's like an 87% interest rate that first year. So while you're gaining interest on a savings account, that's peanuts compared to the interest you're actually paying towards the mortgage.

Hence why I said put as much cash down as possible. You're not getting an actual 7% interest rate on a yearly basis until the end of your payment schedule.

If amortization was not a thing, and you really were paying a 7% interest rate, and that $64,000 in payments was comprised of $4500 in interest and $59,500 in principal, then yes, you're absolutely right that putting down as little cash as possible is the way to go.
Amortization is just front-loading the inverse of the benefits you’d get at the back end of investing the money and compounding it over time but it doesn’t change the overall equation or which is most beneficial.

IE if you invested $200k in something today @ 5% and it compounded over 20-30 years, most of your compounding gains would come at the back end of that timeframe. Amortization takes that and shifts it to the front end, you pay more interest at first but then less and less over time.

Mortgage debt is the cheapest debt out there, I’d much rather have the cash in something else and deal with amortization + interest rather than tie up all the money in an asset that you either need to sell or leverage to pull the money out of.

Yep. Builders are slightly panicked about not being able to sell incentives so are being offered on new builds. Both supply and demand are very low and average people with a 3-4% mortgage aren't interested in one that's 7%. Both potential buyers and sellers are stuck in a predicament. I bought a little before the pandemic and if I make a lateral move to an equivalent house my monthly payments will be higher. If I had like 15 years of equity, different story.

A year ago I thought there could be a crash but instead it will be a slow downward trajectory in most places for a few years. In some places (Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin) a crash already has happened while prices are rising where they hadn't much during the pandemic. It's surprising a recession hasn't happened by now as most everyone expected. My bet was on recession Q2 of 2023 but it looks like we have a slowdown instead of recession for now.

It's all tough to say much since right now is the highest point of every year for house prices.

Mortgage debt is not cheap anymore. 6-7% interest is not cheap


Keep in mind when you have 10% growth in stock market, you have to pay taxes. 10% growth is really 8% growth. I'd rather take guaranteed 7% payoff on mortgage while massively paying off the amortization than 8% possible growth in stock market


It's very little benefit while having a whole lot more risk and tax implications

Wrong. I bought ~9 months ago with like a 780 credit score and the lowest I could get was 5.6%. And that's WITH buying 0.5 in points. The difference between a good and bad credit score is like .5%.

Ugh.. don't buy points. You can always refinance later if the rate ever drops, and it'll still be cheaper.

Mortgage debt is more expensive but fixed investments are also far more lucrative as things like bond yields are also driven by the Fed Funds rate along with mortgage interest costs: back when mortgage rates were lower, 1-year treasuries were paying basically nothing and now you can buy 1yr treasuries north of 5% with zero risk.

It’s all interconnected, I would much rather have the cash in something else rather than plugging excessive additional amounts into a mortgage. You can always do both to mitigate risk on either side, but I’ll lean more towards carrying the mortgage.

you didn't address the points I made. Even if you're a great investor, you're not going to avg much above 10% in growth. Assume 20% taxes - that's 8% growth rate


how is POTENTIAL 8% growth with a hell of a lot more risk a better deal than guaranteed 7% while also big time reducing the amortization chart on a house?


Paying off a house is not sexy, stocks are sexy. Lots of psuedo intellectual so called financial experts wants to recommend something sexy but it's not a better deal


maybe you have a point when mortgage rates are 2% for 30% years. When it's 7%, it's absolutely terrible to have a big mortgage balance

Buying points is absolutely worth it when the break even point isn't far and interest rates are skyrocketing. I don't see interest rates dipping below 5% for a loooooong time. If ever.

Home prices are only half the issue right now

I don’t hear many people talk about general contractor/specialist labor costs

If you’ve gotten quotes recently you’d know it’s absolutely insane, we need to start running campaigns for women to get into trades like we did for getting women to code

BRB 40k for a new roof, 50k to replace a deck, 100k for foundation repair, 40k to repipe the house, 20k for new electrical panel, 20k to replace AC unit. The quotes for stuff like this will make your jaw fall to the floor

Most of these homes on the market are fixer uppers that need work like this based on when I looked at some homes around recently

You aren’t going to be happy when you spend 800k on a 400k house that needs 200k in work

I’m comparing the payoff specifically to treasury yields that provide guaranteed returns and move with the Fed Funds rate along with mortgage interest rates because all these things are interconnected. Stocks are a different thing and of course can provide enormous gains relative to paying off a mortgage in advance, but those are accompanied by risks.

Treasury bills are taxed federally but not subject to state/local taxes.

This calculation does not change when interest rates go down again because these things are all interconnected and lower mortgage interest rates will be accompanied by lower treasury yields.

I would personally take the longest amortization lowest down payment with the lowest rate + early repayment provisions, then put the spare money to work doing any number of other things and keep it more liquid in case you need it to cover expenses.

Ultimately, we won't. It's tough to keep an infinite-growth economy going in a shrinking world.

The govt will pull out all the stops to fake growth, though. Continued monetary inflation will push home prices upward, and we will continue importing migrants to fake a population increase.

Both of those have a hard stop in the future. The world is de-dollarizing now, now that COVID showed the world that Uncle Sam will never decrease his deficits and intends to take all his creditors down with the fiat ship. And even the places we import migrants from are having drastically decreasing birthrates. Did you know that Mexico is at 1.9 births per woman, and Honduras is at 2.39?

But I think both changes will take a generation to process. We are mortally wounded as an economy and nation right now, but we can can-kick at least until the boomers die off circa 2040.

Hell, Japan is living that future right now. They are a dying nation, with 270% debt to GDP, a demographic nuke, and zero immigration. Mortally wounded, but their property market still hasn't capitulated.

And you think treasury yields will give u better than 7% growth rate? And you act like federal taxes are cheap. It's still about 20%


You're glossing over the amortization point. Paying off a house early saved you massive amount of interest long term. If you can pay off a house in 10 years instead of 30, you likely save 100s and 100s of thousands of interest. This is not some small point to gloss over


Don't forget once the house is paid off, u have huge cash flow advantages

A lot of people in here not understanding supply and demand

Cliffs:
-The supply for affordable housing is low
-Therefore the demand is high
-The demand will not go down until the supply goes up
-It will take a long time for the supply to go up because they're not even building much right now

Supercliffs:
-It's not gonna crash anytime soon

-The demand will not go down until the supply goes up
-It will take a long time for the supply to go up because they're not even building much right now

Supercliffs:
-It's not gonna crash anytime soon
Additionally, nobody wants to sell their house because interest rates are high. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to pull out a new mortgage right now. If people aren't pulling out new mortgages due to high rates, they aren't moving, which means fewer vacancies.

Right?

if you think it's bad now wait till the fed pivots in 9 months, median price is bumping up another 25%, not to mention the coasts will become de-facto untouchable as entry level homes will start at 1.5 mil

Right?
I've repeated this 100 times in this thread


Real estate market will not crash for a very very long time. One important point you guys didn't mention is most people are in very cheap mortgages with massive equity and very low interest rate. They have zero urgency to sell. Why would I dump a mortgage with 200k equity and 2% interest at an Era of super high prices and super high rates?



For the real estate market to crash, you need lots of people with urgency to sell/unable to make payment. Most people in mortgages have very cheap payments. Why wouldn't they be able to make a 1500 payment when they know rent would be 3K a month? They'll starve before they default on a mortgage. It's the first thing everyone pays. They're not gonna sell unless they get top dollar because whats the urgency? They're in a great position. You have very very stubborn buyers.
