I actually think most people think the bolded is a huge deal. Lefties love to talk about righties 'bailing out mega corps' and sending money to foreign countries but they'rethe biggest perpetrators of this.

0bama was the biggest offender bailing out giant auto corporations and big banks. Lefties are the biggest perps for sending money to other countries. Let's send another $4 billion to Ukraine! Now we must pledge another trillion to help other countries fight climate change!

Fukn disingenuous lefty *******s. They keep preaching about taking care of the 'small guy' while bailing out billion dollar corporations and sending billions and over the years trillions to other countries.

Because of the increased home prices, now their mortgage is more unaffordable. The cycle continues. Your view is such a simplistic and moronic one, that it'll actually make the issues worse. We need to actually FIX the issue as I already outlined.

Edit: and my savings is being drained because of socialists like you.
Exactly.

Not sure in America but here we need minimum 10% down, 20% to avoid an insurance requirement. So that 25K gets you 250k, the prices won't directly increase but they sure as **** will climb BIGLY

Inb4 illegals get all the housing money if she gets elected.

There would be "more generous support for first-generation homeowners" according to a preview of the remarks Harris is set to deliver Friday.

On average, it does affect house prices

If you removed from the market everyone who was gifted money or loan guarantees, prices would be lower than they are.

BOTH parties send money to israel and megacorps.

I dont see a way out of that. all democrats claim to want to help the "working class" but they are the ones who dumped the labor market with illegals, made megacorps "essential" during covid while literally banning small businesses from operating and oh on top of that continue to start wars in the middle east and give hand outs to israel and ukraine.

i would like to cut out all of that but since that option doesnt exist, lets atleast cut out the hand outs to lazy fuks here and and have an actual functioning ICE department.

If this does result in higher house prices as many are assuming, you win anyways

I haven’t read all the posts in this thread so not sure if anyone has yet reconciled the idea that this will increase house prices and yet people who already own houses are not coming out ahead despite not being directly handed the $25k. I’m going to assume people are just being silly and haven’t addressed this.

As a first time homebuyer myself waiting to buy, I don't want this. That's absurd.

The only way I could see that as part of a democrat plan is if they show us all the provisions of what makes you eligible. If it's like "Must have 780+ credit score, supporting income, low debt monthly payments, etc" then it could be something she could run on. The only time these things will push through is if they are precise with their stipulations because it automatically shows only a small percentage of the pool is eligible and the policy would at least seem in good faith.

Otherwise giving any first time homebuyer 25k for a down payment is economic suicide. Her economic plan is the most radical insanity I've seen yet. Not even Bernie was throwing out this kind of communist heat.

Who cares

Higher home prices = more builders building = more supply = cheaper price

Capitalism.

Ideally yes, but people who just bought / recently bought / already own clearly shouldn’t be lamenting this. Or this won’t actually affect house prices, doesn’t benefit current owners, and instead just benefits the prospective new buyers which dismantles the argument against it.

Can’t have both though

In 1998, I used a AUD$14k federal government home builders grant as a down payment to build my first home (building a house back then started in the low-100ks)

In 1998 dollars that’s much more than US$25k

Kept leveraging the equity I built and now I have a property development business bringing in 7 figures annually after tax, and an identical distribution for my business partner (wife)

So sometimes handing money to immigrants can work out well

I think its just pandering to the voters, I don't think anyone writing the rules would believe this is a good idea

But the more they pander like this, the more our population is trained to think a certain way. Our voter base is just trained to think, whenever there is a problem, the government needs to print a bunch of money and give it away instead of actually solving the problem

Lol, they are running the laziest most disingenuious low effort campaign I've ever seen. Basically everything she is proposing are things she could currently do as Vice President. Instead, everyone magically can only accomplish these things if they vote her in again!!

I feel like something hilarious is on the horizon. But we'll just have to see what it is.

Yeah it's just pandering. Just like every politician does when campaigning

When they get on stage to the public, they lie through their teeth and promise free chit for everyone. The instant they get in the office, they do what they were gonna do from the beginning

Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election said to private donors that she has "two faces", one for the public and her real one

We aren't talking about a mansion, but a decent starter home, about $150k. Maybe 45 minutes from the city.
What home is worth 150k in 2024, soon to be 2025?
