People looked at me crazy when I tell women. Instead of paying for that masters you could of used that money for a down payment. Your house equity would be more than the little bump in pay you got at work. Especially Black women who in education who all ran to get Masters. They found out it was a trap. Went from having summers off till now working summers for that office job that evens out the pay increase. I’m not gone even start on BW who feel they need to take multiple trips in a year.

I’m looking at you crazy bruh. Especially in Education field where black women can't sniff an opportunity without a masters. 30k is getting you something that never goes away and doesn't depreciate.

The desirable houses in my city are still in the 400ks. Not too much has changed with that. It’s the less desirable homes catching the price drops.

Wifey and I just increased our buying power by nearly $800 by paying off debt. However, students loans kick in at the start of next year. Shit is going to get more interesting when it comes to affordability, not just for me, but for many people that still owes.

Prices in my area would have to drop by 40% to put me at the same price I’m at now, in an older and less desirable neighborhood, compared to what I bought at a 3% rate last fall.


Yea fam, its crazy how much homes have skyrocketed recently
In most states prices jumped up 30%-50%, since Covid started

So even if the housing market crashes next year & comes back down to those levels again
People still have to deal with 7%-9% interest rates :smh:

Yep.
I should have clarified, I meant to say “same mortgage payment”.

Yeah. They are fucked and have two options: unload all that shit they bought up or become the nation's largest single family rental company

They are stuck between a rock and a hard place. High-interest rates cause house prices to fall, jeopardizing all recently purchased overinflated houses losing equity as homes are being sold cheaper now. And when it comes to renting, people are getting roommates more often now to ease the rental cost, so Zillow will be stuck with properties they can't rent out. So what does Zillow do? Put out a market report saying that house prices will rise by a percentage, so their bum asses don't take as significant a loss as they are projecting to take.
