Arm loans are coming.  First time I've been concerned about a potential drop in the market but that will be 5 years down the road.  Hopefully rates aren't 13% then and it'll be fine.  I have one client that's doing the arm and another considering it. I don't like that product at all but I do get it. 

Jesus. We didn't learn poo from the last housing crisis, did we?

No, but we've already seen what happens to a lot of folks when you kick that can down the road.

Yeah that's why I think it's on the mortgage industry to not offer that product because as a society I feel like we like to gamble and it saves money upfront. My one buyer is using it because they are purchasing a new build and signed paperwork back in December and budgeted on 3-3.5% interest. They can afford the mortgage at 6% but don't want to.  I let them know there could be some rate fluctuations but didn't anticipate this kind of jump so we didnt really plan for it.  If it was me I would probably close on the home,  immediately sell it and make 50k and then buy something cheaper at the higher rate.

We're closing on the sale of my wife's parents' home in Ocean Isle Beach this week. Fortunately, the buyers wanted a very long escrow and paid us a healthy due diligence fee to sit for nearly 2 months, but they were lucky to lock in at a hair over 3%.

We paid cash for new construction/custom in 2008 right after the bubble burst, found a builder desperate for work and made well over double our cost from 14 years ago- all free and clear.

Biggest problem coming in aren't necessarily ARMs, but the fact that banks/mortgage companies are looking at shifting from the traditional 30yr loan to a 40yr or even 50yr loan period.

Those longer terms loans may make monthly payments appear to be more affordable, but the long-term impact is going to be bad.

Folks won't be thinking about paying off their loans early and going into retirement (relatively) debt-free if these become popular.

Kinda like how 80+ month notes for vehicles are becoming more and more common. If you need an 84 month note on a vehicle to afford it, YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.

My parents first home was at 18.5%, mine was 4.5% in 2009. Our mortgage is at 3% from last April.  Yeah  surprised 40 years aren't starting to become the norm already 

I think my parents' house was in the low 20s.  My first was around 6ish initially. Refinanced it multiple times over the course of four years ending sub-3. Current house is sub-3.

I bought my home in 2010 for 124k

House was  newly finished and had 2 acres. Previous people ran out of money and foreclosed.  I cleared some trees have added a fenced in  acre yard, a building, carport, bedroom and 3 closets.  Concrete driveway.  Since then the residential boom has happened.  Man these crazy ass people offered me 370k site unseen.  I'll hang around for a while yet and see if that dont keep climbing.

When we built our starter-home, 3BR/2BA house in Charlotte, we struggled at the $100k+ price point.  Zillow currently has its "Zestimate" around $350k.  It has a reasonable, accessible location -- but couldn't imagine it going for more than $250k.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
