The housing crisis will never end without levying forceful taxes against real estate speculators and investors. A recent report outlines the necessary actions to impose taxes that can actually narrow the wealth gap and alleviate the housing emergency.
Here rent can exceed mortgage monthly price, the high prices mean higher down payment which many cant afford, but housing demand doesnt go down, there are more buyers than units, thus price remains high. Everything else you listed goes against supply and demand theory so I can’t have an on going conversation that contravenes known economic theory. Hope you have a good rest of your week.
No doubt. Mortgage costs are but a tiny fraction of the cost of owning a home. If rental costs are anywhere near the mortgage cost you have found yourself one hell of a steal!
You really think that if I show up with a billion dollars, I wouldn’t be able to find a home to buy? That’s silly. Demand is perfectly satisfied by the supply.
Those who desire, but lack willingness, are not satisfied by the supply, but they don’t matter. They’re just metaphorical 13 year old boys with a Ferrari poster on the wall, wishing that they could afford to have one. That’s not demand, literally. That’s just dreaming.
Go on.
