Very rare for interest rates to drop and housing prices drop at the same time. If the rates drop, there’s lots of new people in the market driving prices up.
To JR4X, if you are going to stay in that property 7+ years, don’t worry, just buy. I don’t believe there’s been a time in history where property has gone down over 7 years. If you’re not staying 7 years, rent.
I bought a bunch of property in 07-08. In a year, I was underwater bad. I didn’t walk away and it’s all good now.
Bingo. If rates drop and housing values drop significantly at the same time then we're in a very bad overall economy.
The folks who bought at the hight of the housing bubble prior to the crash are now sitting on a shit ton of equity if they stuck it out.
