Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

When does this bubble pop?
That's the fun part about this specific market, it isn't a bubble that can pop. The people that caused this issue had the money to buy the houses they did. This is just the new normal, and the best part about that is that house prices only ever go up!
Yay! I can't wait until the absolute garbage dilapidated pile of shit in the worst parts of town and a flood zone go from 300k now to 500k or more! It's going to be so fun to see houses that I'd never in a million years want to live in, sell for hundreds of thousands above what I could afford anyway.
The argument from asshats with no empathy used to be: so move to a LCOL area (ignoring that work cant be found there.) Well even ignoring the work issue, those dont exist anymore. The WFH "movement" gave people the freedom to move to those LCOL areas so now they aren't low cost anymore.
I can't even leave the expensive shit hole area I live in because everywhere else is too expensive with less job opportunities... The future is so fun!
/wrist.
Also in the fun struggle to find long term domicile here. One thing I've been running numbers is just straight up building new houses. Many states building is cheaper than buying; disregarding zoning and permits.
I'm hoping with new remote work abilities that in the future I can caravan with other like-minded Gen-z/millennials to some unincorporated stretch of rural land and just set up a new town, wild West style.
I don't know how accurate it might be but I heard of a theory recently for the US that the recent reversal where students will be required to repay their loans in full is going to tank the housing market because a large chunk of people from the very demographic that would normally be first-time buyers won't be able to afford to buy. There were supposed to be a bunch of cascading effects from this, but I'm sorry I can't remember further details now.
Loan repayments resumed yesterday for over 100 million Americans. Now there are a lot of different options especially their income-driven 'SAVE' plan which calculates repayments based on earnings. So for me who's struggling between jobs, I don't have to pay jack until they see reported income luckily.
But the housing market here in Midwest US doesn't seem like it's changing for the better anytime soon. Median Housing cost is like triple average yearly salary, and on top of that our taxes are just abhorrent.
