It’s already happening. It just haven’t go ugly yet. The 5 year arms are coming to an end for many people, so they about to feel this interest rate hike unfortunately. Student loan payments start up again in January too.

It’s going to be an interesting 2023 economy-wise.

Yup. Now student loans may get an extension with the pause because of the court Bullshit. The administration is thinking of extending it.

My company had a big spike in doing smart home/apartment new builds beginning of summer of 2021 we had a lot of contracts getting put on hold this past summer around the end of July time frame. My buddy who is a electrician says the residential side of his company has had contract in multi million dollar sub-divisions canceled due to no one buying the ones they have finished already. By Spring the will be damn near giving houses away at low bottom prices with unbelievable discounts.

The great American ‘homewashing’ is happening under our noses

The federal government provides $6.3B annually to 11 Regional Federal Home Loan Banks at deeply discounted interest rates. This is done for the purpose of them advancing it out to other member banks in support of affordable housing initiatives. However, the member banks are only required to use a small portion, about 5%, for loans on affordable housing. The remainder can be used to do whatever they want. The government currently has over a $1T on the books going back to 1932 for these programs and little understanding of how much is supporting affordable housing, and low- or middle-class home buying. Participating in the program also allows the member banks to maintain the huge spread between the government credit rate they receive the funds at and the interest rate they pay their customers on deposits.

I’ve often wondered how the government can spend so much on HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.… and still have an ever-looming housing crisis for as long as I’ve been alive. This might be a big part of the reason why.
