I own and think it's often a great investment, in this situation it's terrible.

First thing the dude needs to do is get rid of his bitch wife for wanting to jump ship. That will be one less headache for him and open up the house a bit more for himself. Then just continue working and be smart with money to pay it off.

Houses around me (Philly) continue to sell pretty well. The comps on mine actually keep pushing higher. 300k when I bought and comping at 325K now. Even after this "crash"
Barely anything on the market at a given time, usually gone in 1-2 weeks. Imagining it is location specific and for regular people houses not as influenced

Patience and wait. I had to pay higher than I wished but still got my home 30k under asking in 2021.

Not sure about the rules in the US, but a property over $1m here requires a minimum 20% down payment. So these people probably already have about $300k equity in the place and a mortgage somewhere around $1-1.1m
Also not sure what the person on Reddit is talking about with the "I'll be paying this for a decade longer than if I waited", a loan of any value amortized over 25-30 years takes the same amount of time to pay down as any other value amortized over 25-30 years.

Bank of America says two more years of declines, Goldman says just a few more months. It's wild how many people think once in a lifetime mortgage rates from the pandemic are coming back. Without another lab leak it's not happening.
I don't care what the public press releases from these banks say, they all talk their book. Their buy side understands what the real game is. Housing has been a nationalized market for 15 years and the Fed is the prime mover of it.

There's a lot of people in this boat all over North America. At least in the US you have people who locked in for 20 years at a low rate, up here mortgage renewals are all coming due and some people are looking down a barrel at $1000 a month more in payments or giving up paying anything but interest entirely. So you're renting from a bank but still have to pay property taxes and maintenance. Great deal.

Some of us are smart enough to see in some situations buying is better and in other situations renting is better.

I usually blame the idiots that sign on the line because Im all about personal responsibility...
...BUT the scum bag realtors hold a LOT of the blame. Just about all of them were screaming that the market would never go down and these high prices were the new benchmark. They loved to spout off how many people wanted homes and the inventory was low so the prices would never go down...
Just six months after Biden inflation/rate changes have absolutely decimated the homebuying landscape. Anyone that believed that believed their lies is responsible but the realtors, that have lived through the house market cycles, should be popped in the mouth. They absolutely knew what they were doing...
