Will you buy a house now that rates are coming down?
>>60961787not buying till -50%
>>60961836This
>>60961787Already did, waiting on rates to hit 5% before I go looking for some rentals or Airbnb’s
>>60961787Already locked in at 4.5% from years ago
>>60961787Can't imagine being so poor that I would need to take out a loan to buy a house.
>>60961787No. I can life anywhere I want with a smartphone and a cheap room. I am a recluse.
Lol at retards waiting for "le housing crash"
>>60962001>Can't imagine being so poor that I would need to take out a loan to buy a house.Why would you tie up all that capital in a house though? Keeping more of the principal invested outpaces the annual interest you pay. Even going what would now be considered conservative, putting that money in the S&P500 is averaging 12% annual returns for the last decade.

>>60962503Even in hyperinflationary scenarios, stonks are a better store of value than cash. Who did the best in places like Argentina or Venezuela when they had some heated caudillo moments? It was asset holders.
>>60962001> Can't imagine being so poor that I would need to take out a loan to buy a house.You just outed yourselfOnly the poor don’t understand leverage and what a great opportunity mortgages are for growing wealth, the interest is even tax deductible and you want to use capital?
>>60961787I bought one a year ago at 5.75%
>>60961787I bought a house 24 years ago
At the current glacial rate of reduction yes I will be buying a house - in 5 years.Probably in all cash from stock gains, the jews will draw little succor from this goyim.
>>60963761I had a mortgage on a house at about 3%. I kept that because I could comfortably outperform the interest. I moved when rates were over 7%. There's no guarantee of outpacing that. I have $5 million invested anyway and the peace of mind of outright owning my home is worth more to me than the possibility of getting an extra 2% or so on the $600k my house cost.
>>60963877>>60963761So allow me to rephrase my stupid joke. I can't imagine being so poor that mortgage rates would affect my ability to buy a home.
