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.

      At least Rivera got the Super Bowl, and then lost is because he refused to adjust.  Rod’s likely will never get to the Stanley Cup unless the team he coaches is stacked and can overcome Rods weird decisions making.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
