When the Chief Economist of NAR says "this is not the bottom for prices" you know the housing market is in for a wild ride… cnn.com/2023/03/21/hom…


On the blog: Homebuyers are taking on monthly payments 59% higher than at the 2007 peak of the previous housing bubble. seattlebubble.com/blog/2023/03/1…


Dang, monthly payments for Seattle-area homes purchased when mortgage rates bottomed out in December 2020 were about the same as they were at the peak of the early 2000s housing bubble. In the two years since then payments have surged 65%. 😱 #RealEstate #HousingMarket

Bingo. "housing markets have been broken by a policy agenda that seeks to reap the gains of a thriving regional economy while failing to build the infrastructure—housing—necessary to support the people who make that economy go." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Just saw last month's NWMLS news release. Seems pretty reality-denying to refer to the current market as "typical" and there's some pretty wild wishful thinking to expect we'll return soon to "normalized conditions." 🙈 nwmls.com/august-2022-mo…


Remember when the Associated Press declared in 2010 that “the era of record-low mortgage rates is over”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

a #mortgagerates haiku: Seems it may be time to finally pay the price for keeping rates low.


Shout-out to one of the classic TV commercials of the last housing bubble: "Suzanne researched this" (2006).
