[18:48]	IsambardPrince	Selling a home may take more patience right now. In September, Redfin estimated there were 1.51 million sellers and 929,000 buyers in the U.S. housing market.
[18:48]	IsambardPrince	Sellers outnumbered buyers by 62.6%, the widest gap Redfin has recorded since it began tracking the data in 2013. The number of active buyers fell for the fifth straight month, and more homes sat on the market without selling.
[18:48]	IsambardPrince	Redfin classified 41 of the 50 largest U.S. metro areas as buyers markets, with Miami, Nashville, and Houston among the strongest.
[18:48]	IsambardPrince	If youre buying, and the monthly payment fits your budget, you may have more homes to choose from and more room to negotiate on price, closing costs, or repairs.
[18:48]	IsambardPrince	If youre selling, pay close attention to what comparable homes in your neighborhood have actually sold for and how long they took to sell. Pricing from local sales can help you set realistic expectations from day one.
[18:48]	IsambardPrince	Data from Redfin.
[18:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	and work in a large company that pays a lot more than to rent a cottage
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	Right, I was talking to my mom about this the other day. She said homes were cheap in her town in Indiana. I said that's because they were all built in the 1800s and most of the jobs there don't pay more than $16-18 an hour.
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	If there's nobody being attracted there by a good job, the person who sells a house has to take whatever they can and leave.
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	It's a simple concept.
[18:52]	IsambardPrince	If you take on a mortgage at the interest rates we have now, for thirty years, you will pay more than the price of the house in bank interest.

[18:54]	IsambardPrince	But when that house costs $287,000 now, is 45 years older, and the interest is 7%.

[18:55]	IsambardPrince	Here's the difference on interest rates. In 2018, the banks were advertising a 30 year fixed at 2.65%. That was insane.

[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Payment-to-Income: The base mortgage payment took up roughly 10% of median monthly income. Even at 11%, the absolute dollar amount was low enough that households could aggressively prepay principal or refinance when rates dropped later in the decade.
[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Today ($287,000 Home @ 7%):
[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Monthly P&I (with 10% down): ~$1,720/month (before taxes/insurance, which easily pushes it over $2,200/mo).
[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Median Household Income: ~$80,000/year (~$6,660/month).
[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Payment-to-Income: The mortgage payment consumes 26% to 33%+ of gross median income before accounting for utilities or life expenses.

● Nov 07
[19:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	"you gotta be asleep to believe it" -carlin
[19:01]	IsambardPrince	So in 1981, my parents could buy that house at 11%, and it was only 10% of the monthly median income and now it would be over 30%. That pushes people to rent because first of all, the real cost has effectively more than tripled, and secondly, thanks to "free trade" it's impossible for the average worker in Grant County, Indiana to get a job that pays a mortgage like that.
[19:01]	IsambardPrince	The median household income in America might be $80,000 but in that town it's only $47,000.
[19:02]	IsambardPrince	Poverty and food stamps are "normal" but the houses still cost nearly $300,000.
[19:03]	IsambardPrince	How does that work? Well, ever since the Republicans took over the state government in the 2004 election, then expanded their majorities, they began passing a lot of laws that make it even harder to get a good job.
[19:03]	IsambardPrince	They repealed prevailing wage laws for construction.
[19:03]	IsambardPrince	They passed a law that makes it hard to join a labor union.
[19:03]	IsambardPrince	They passed another law that prevents local government from raising the minimum wage past $7.25 an hour.
[19:04]	IsambardPrince	Every year in Indiana the Republicans think of 5-10 more laws that make it hard to earn any real money, but the house is still $300,000 at 7%.
[19:05]	IsambardPrince	Do you think more people will be able to buy a house when 200,000 more people in Indiana lose their health insurance due to Trump? I don't think so.
[19:05]	IsambardPrince	So who is buying these houses? Corporate landlords!
[19:06]	IsambardPrince	A corporate slumlord bought my (maternal) grandparents' house after my grandmother went to the home. She passed away recently. My grandfather built that house in the 1960s working a factory job with no college education.
[19:06]	IsambardPrince	And they had three kids.
[19:07]	IsambardPrince	Now a corporate slumlord owns it and is renting it out for nearly what a mortgage costs, to people who can't get a mortgage.
[19:07]	IsambardPrince	They snapped it up for next to nothing because my cousin is horrible with money. She bought the house in cash and didn't effect repairs and keep it. So she sold it to a home flipper who tripled their money. And now Wall Street owns the house.
[19:08]	IsambardPrince	So now you pay a mortgage, to rent something you will never own, because the banks say you can't afford the mortgage.
[19:09]	IsambardPrince	You fail the affordability test, but the landlord will rent to you for the same price the bank says you can't afford.
[19:10]	IsambardPrince	It's like how deeply subprime banks back Klarna loans for people that not even Capital One will touch.
