Simply Unaffordable! One Reason Biden Is Losing The Youth Vote: Unaffordable Housing (Mortgage Rates UP 160% Under Biden, Home Prices UP 32.5%)
Confounded Interest ^ | 04/11/2024 | Anthony B. Sanders

One reason that America’s youth is disgusted with Bidenomics is skyrocketing prices, particulalry housing. (simply unaffordable). Thanks to awful economic policies, home prices are up 32.5% under Biden and 30-year mortgage rates are up a whopping 160%! Good luck buying a home with a part-time job.

The bad news is that the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.53%, the highest since November 2023. This means that mortgage rates will rise even further.

Yes, rising rates AND home prices are daunting to part-time job holders.

Of course, Biden and Powell want to addicted to gov.

Doctors, doctos (Yellen and Brainard), we’ve got a bad case of unaffordable housing.

We couldn’t afford Jimmy Carter. In 1980 I moved to Broward County, FL. There were over 6000 housing units for sale and I couldn’t afford a single one of them. Interest was over 20%.

Yup. I’m in MA and my youngest daughter is still at home. She has a pretty decent job, but there are almost no apartments in our area (pretty rural) and the ones that are “available” are about $2500 a month. Not affordable. The expectation seems to be that young people will either buy a house or live in Mom’s basement. And since houses in our area start north of $500,00 for a starter home, there are a lot of young people living in Mom’s basement.

But but they promised me more free stuff and a “living wage”!!!

To bad your living wage of $15 an hour now buys you a combo meal in some places.

Right you are CCG, our youngest son and wife have been searching for a home and then looked at building on a lot we have, everything is out of sight for them. Blessedly, we have an apartment in our ell that they are living in while they save. I don't see it in the near future, prices for crap-garbage are stupid, and he tells me the apartment they rented on the other side of Worcester is up about 40% from 2 years ago.
