Thoughts? The researchers aren't suggesting a housing crash is imminent and drastic in nature, but they seem to be in the camp that housing will stagnate/plateau for a few years, and will, at some point, steadily decline in the next decade or two.

It isn't Millennials fueling housing. Perhaps, avocado toast.

Home buyers, especially gen x, y, z etc. get to compete with cash buyers.

Those cash buyers are hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, foreigners, wealthy, private investors, etc. Those are the only players fueling a bubble via .gov

Asset inflation via helicopter money from .gov helps the wealthy get wealthier, inflation is a middle class and poor problem.

demand drops -— due to unaffordability...

I have been thinking there will be excess inventory of houses due to the Baby boomers dying off. Do not buy a house as an investment, it is just a place to live.

Millennials buying family homes means there is, perhaps, some hope for more kids, housing dropping in prices has a floor which rises generationally eventually.

If you got a Mortgage I hope it was at least 2 years ago with very low rates.

The collapse of the commercial real estate market will begin in earnest this year. That will be worse than any millennial bubble burst. It’s real, tangible and it will happen soon. To avoid any inconvenience with your own funds, assess the risk of your bank being affected and act accordingly. Regional banks will be hit hardest since they are the primary lenders for commercial real estate. Many of them are already on the ropes and have been downgraded by Moody’s.

I sold my home last year so I beat the rising interest rates and potential housing glut crisis.

At least 1 in 5 Americans weren’t born here and thousands more come each day.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Makes sense to me.

None of us are getting any younger, and ‘our betters’ are replacing us with illiterate, disease-carrying freeloaders from Third World Hellholes.

Which part of our Country ISN’T going to be ruined by that? Doesn’t seem to stop Mother Government from burning through the pulled-from-thin-air cash, aiding and abetting the ruination of us all.

“That could lead to an excess of housing, potentially pushing down prices and sparking a crash in the real estate sector.”

Good, that is what is supposed to happen when you have a bubble. Housing prices are not supposed to constantly trend upward. But of course, our inflationary monetary policies tend to push the prices for everything constantly upward over the long term.

I put institutional folks like Black Rock et al far more to blame than any age group of buyers.

[b4me]

plenty of foreigners, legal and likely some unlegal finding ways to buy up

[b4me]

send the illegals, dreamers, whoever not here legally out of the country and magically, plenty more homes, apartments etc, crime drops too! I’ll plant my.

Housing shortages are cause by poor land use planning.

[Steven Scharf]

as Baby Boomers begin age out of the housing market.

Is that a nice way of saying we are going to start to die off?

[ballplayer]

When the Chinese communists are in charge single family housing will no longer be needed

[Svartalfiar]

Hopefully the real estate bubble will crash hard (90%+) within a year or two.

Then we can buy the bigger house with tons of land, and after that I don’t care what prices do.
