The Frozen Housing Market Could Be on the Brink of Shattering (Again)

Have you ever watched a video of someone who takes a perfectly normal rose, flash-freezes it in liquid nitrogen and then hits it with a hammer? Here’s what happens.

Last year, lenders denied loan applications due to “insufficient income” more often than any other point since records began in 2018, according to a new report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. On the other hand, it’s a sign that the liquid credit the housing market relies on is on the verge of freezing up.Higher prices and higher mortgage rates vs. stagnant wages A mortgage is considered “affordable” if the principal and interest payment is 25% or less of a family’s income.

With mortgage rates so high, home buyers inevitably have less purchasing power. Those of us who are currently locked into a sub-3% mortgage definitely don’t want to refinance given today’s much higher rates. This is not a good place to be! Who’s responsible for the fact that the average American family can’t afford to own or rent a home?

Today’s disaster is a perfectly obvious consequence of the Fed’s panicked response to the covid panic.
