In what universe can someone who makes $85k afford a $400k house? My husband and I make $150k and can’t afford that.

The problem is $400,000 homes are really worth about $250,000 maybe

Yeah but the houses that are 400k would be at 600k lol

Having a $3,750 monthly mortgage with a gross income of $120k is insane, basically half of your bring home

How the hell can someone with only an $85k salary afford a $400k house?! That blows my mind.

We are not building enough affordable, simple, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom houses!

Got a 7.25 rate on our house, refinancing as soon as it hits 5. Sucked buying when rates were high but got a great deal on the house.

reno_bigjohnson :
Yes. But house prices go up when interest rates go down. Now is the time to buy. Just refinance later. 👍

beth68173738 :
This is the only time I would say it’s worth the cost to buy now (say $400k) and pay to refinance in a year… even if refinancing is $10k… it’ll save the house going up to $450k
2023-12-20 16:35:38

Angel Santiago :
Demand will sky rocket, and that 400k home will be 650k

I got locked in this past summer at 5.8%. (No rate buy down either), Seller even covered closings cost.

clay :
best bet is buy now and refinance when rates drop, if they drop. prices are going up no matter what.

They will pay $400,000 for a $200,000 house though. I would buy now when there’s no competition.

Ben :
would refinance so fast

RubberBandBoi :
If there is demand waiting for affordable houses then the price will just skyrocket again

user33237993307294 :
Buy NOW if you can to avoid the bidding wars and higher prices. If you can afford the payment, refi when rates drop.

I make 75k a year single , I don’t think I’ll ever get a chance at owning something on my own

DrBigs :
Who comes up with these % of salary for affordability? If you’re making 85k, a 2700 mortgage payment is not an affordable payment!

Yeah this isn’t going to help anything. Home prices are the problem not the interest rates. We are doing it to each other.

Then prices will skyrocket and everyone waiting in the sideline will jump in and turn into bidding wars

My house jumped over 150 grand in value since Covid - can’t wait for the second 150 increase again due to low supply

Would this not just increase prices again and further consolidate the market?

TS :
Interest rates are already at 6.5. Still haven’t locked in my rate yet because I’m hoping they drop a smidge more in the next week or two. 🤞🏼

NGds :
No we won’t, because the prices will hike up and people will outbid each other. I’d rather have a high interest and a low purchase price
