@Lava_Flow2@JackMonero@notabigdeal111@RealWillyBot The majority of people who buy homes live in them, and the net seller is usually a buyer as well. Their DPI levels are so low that selling to rent doesn't make sense. This is why we have had an inventory issue post-2010.
None of the homeowners had any issues with their loans before Covid-19. By October of 2020 most people who made over 60K got their jobs back, the entire Forbearance Crash Bro movement was fun to watch though ๐
So you can understand why in September of 2020, I created the phrase Forbearance Crash Bros. The dudes were not going to shut up about Forbearance in 2020/2021 housingwire.com/articles/end-oโฆ
This has been one of my main talking points for years and the reason I knew the Forbearance Crash Bros would fail so badly. However, fico scores are the second positive aspect of lending. The first is that we didn't have any exotic loan debt destructures post-2010.
Fixed debt cost vs. rising wages, 3 refinance waves post-2010, cash flow got better and better. Dear Lord, how did so many people miss this story for 11 years?
They didn't read, and when you don't read, you miss things ๐
Then the crazy half of our society kept saying it was 2008 all over again! 2012-2022 ๐
So cute, misguided, but adorable.
First, it was never 2008; it was 2005; second, we never had the credit stress from 2005 to 2008. See, this reading thing is a positive, not a negative. ๐ค
๐ speak of the ๐ and he shall appear, I didn't know this was there before I tweeted ๐
Now that we are in June 2022! So much price damage was done in such a short time. Our first real inventory crisis and just look at that action ๐ซฃ๐ฑ
Purchase application data update.
Down 1% Week to Week.
Down 14% Year over Year.
4-week moving average - 13.25% YoY
Trending still 4.75% - 8.75% better than I thought it would have with rates this high on a 4WMA.
The comps will get more challenging starting in October.
As you can see with the blue line, ๐We are back to 2009 levels!
Inventory, on the other hand, not so much!
If it kills me, I will get you to focus on the total inventory data properly. Since anyone with vision skills can see, we never had the credit boom of 2002-2005. ๐คจ
You can now understand the extreme growth in prices vs. the housing bubble years that ran higher with credit demand. This wasn't the case this time around; this was more of a supply story. We got caught and paid the price for it. ๐คจ
2 Rules, Folks! ๐
We don't talk about Fight Club!
We don't use the monthly supply data for new homes for the existing home sales market, which is 2.2 months today.
Plus the new home supply, 6.0 months of that are homes they haven't started to build.
