Nothing I own is over $250/month in property taxes and even blasting the AC during Phoenix summer I don’t go over $300/month for utilities

I really underestimated what people were willing to pay for ghetto housing in many scenarios, maybe the ride's not over yet.

Stressful for sure but most people will just wait it out

LMFAO at people who think the housing market won't crash. Just like the financial markets the housing market will always crash and rebound on a cycle. The sooner it crashes, the sooner it can rebound and the better it is for everyone. The more inflated the bubble gets, the longer it will take to rebound. And the market is overdue to crash as we speak.

You’re making broad statements without really providing much substance to back them up
If foreclosures start to rise again to a decent level I’d maybe be worried about an incoming crash. But they are still very low

I can't believe that there are people itt that are saying that the market prices will continue to rise indefinitely. The prices are unsustainable. I'm sure that you can admit that the housing market will always peak and crash on a cycle. Like I said, the sooner it happens the better it will be for everyone and the economy.

But I just don’t see what indicators we can look at to predict a 50%+ crash. We have low supply, high demand and low foreclosure rate as well as low unemployment
I think these prices are here to stay

But to say these unsustainable prices are here to stay sounds like some used car salesman chit. And I should know since I was in the car business for 10 years. Anyhow, in my opinion, a crash is inevitable within the next few years. Time will tell

During 2017-2021 when interests rates were at an all time low as well as house prices, anyone who's in a house (and who isn't an investor in real estate) is golden. They aren't going to sell their house to sit on a pile of cash to just hemorrhage it away in rent, or a higher interest rate on another house which may not actually be an upgrade with the current prices.
Those who bought after 2022 can clearly afford whatever they are living in now regardless if the house is reduced by 50%. It will ONLY affect them if they lost their income. Again, going back to 2008, banks were failing, thus reducing the amount of money for businesses, thus layoffs, thus sub-prime lenders losing their income. A perfect storm.
Today, just because there may be a correction in house prices doesn't mean there's going to be bank failures and job loses. Whole slew of laws went into affect after 2008 sub-prime lending and betting on those loses fiasco.
Current homeowners will simply soldier on paying whatever their mortgage is now.
I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

With a 2% interest rate that $5k/month drops to $3k/month..
Seems like the best way to go about it now is to just put as much cash down as possible, but then you risk losing it if the market crashes. Terrible situation..

And if you aren't underwater on your home, then your stuck there like a prison because you can't leave due to the interest rate that you got. We are no doubt going to see a lot of people unable to afford their homes in the next 5 years

All underwater means is that if you want to sell your home for whatever reason, you're selling at a loss. Thus investors lose if you bought a house as an investment.
Crazy thing is, rent is still too damn high. Investors will simply short-term rental (airbnb, vrbo), or rent it out to rentcells at more than what they owe anyway (profit)

People who bought last couple years with crazy payments and crazy interest rates are more the exception instead of the rule. The majority of homeowners are locked into very cheap payments with 30 year mortgages at 2-3%. How are you going to have people default on a 1500 payment? When they know the alternative is renting at 3K a month. The house is the first thing people pay, they'll let a car get repoed before a house
You have the perfect environment for a very long period of time of low supply. People are not gonna default on these cheap mortgages they got from 4 years ago. Maybe you'll have a high default rate on people who are first time home owners who bought very expensive mortgages on reasonably low incomes but that's gonna be a very small percentage of people...and supply/demand chart is so fcked, it won't matter
You can't compare the crash of 2007 to now. Home lending became very strict last 15 years. You don't have many people with houses they can't afford and you have a lot of people in great equity position with very low payments due to 2% int for 30 years

I’m paying about $8100/month on what were originally like $1.35m in mortgages + property tax, not including utilities etc

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.

Honestly I'm more confident in the housing market than ever before. 2015-2020 put a lot of people in a very strong position with a ton of equity and very low interest rate. Nobody is defaulting on a 1500 payment when comparable rent now is 3K

All underwater means is that if you want to sell your home for whatever reason, you're selling at a loss. Thus investors lose if you bought a house as an investment.
Crazy thing is, rent is still too damn high. Investors will simply short-term rental (airbnb, vrbo), or rent it out to rentcells at more than what they owe anyway (profit)

Most people don't care about the value of their house. It's not an investment. It's a place for them to live. They're not gonna sell unless they need to, for whatever reason. If the house is worth a lot less than the payoff, they simply won't move but the path to this house crashing in value simply does not exist. You're going to have very low supply of houses for a long time. You have a lot of people in very favorable positions who have no need to sell. The only way for housing market to crash is for there to be a lot more supply than demand. How is that gonna happen when most people have no interest in moving and losing their 2% interest to go up to 7%?
You're locked into that house for far longer than you want, and when you want to sell are doing so at a loss. You don't honestly believe that all these people bought their homes they planned on living in for the next 25+ years do you?
The vast majority of 1st time home buyers are not buying a home they plan on staying in forever

The only way I see a contraction in prices, however, is a major employment downturn with corresponding high interest rates and simultaneous money supply contraction (which has actually been happening to a degree if you look at M1 and M2 charts). Still, that’s a lot of maybes that have to align IMO.

If you're buying home as an investment property as your FIRST property, you're probably doing it wrong.
Parents been in home for over 30 years. Lovely place.
As for "prison"? Simply rent it out for more than what you're paying in mortgage...profit.

ATH prices and 7% mortgages is an untenable situation, to say the least.
One of the two will give, and every investor is betting it's mortgage rates.
