There seems to be a lack of communication in the ongoing media war on fed rates vs mortgage increase and rentals.
As a former homeowner, I dealt with Balloon mortgage.rates in the 1980s. Today the same situation exists as fed banks raise or negate interest rates.
The consistent scene I see is homeowners over 20 years have to replace all the appliances, the furnace and hot water heater. There is need to upgrade with paint and floors. There is landscaping, tornado damage and tree removal because of careless power line damage. There is snow removal in winter and sprinkles r r equipment in summer. Fertilizer and water as ND weekends painting and repairing. All this is add on to mortgage. The people I know I w as well as ” in the day” have 6 figure incomes BUT live and breathe Budget.
Not only demographics change but family dynamics: his and her incomes. If she (he) wants a house then all that expense comes out of her income while they share daily living and extras like vacations or holiday gifts and gifting.
To hear med I a declare inane remarks on housing is as annoying as hearing Disney is a “fun” place.
If my people who are called by my name will come….
Another interesting note of developments in my experience over the past 5 years. Our suburb voted no more construction since we have reached maximum capacity. The sewage system of the city is so taxed that during heavy rainfall those million dollar homes have basements flooded with sewage. Gee did everyone neglect to tell us that??
Apartments that are 50 Yeats old or even newer have consistent problems with plumbing backing up since they weren’t built to accommodate dishwashers, disposals, laundry. Thus, it’s consistent that now the lease has disclaimers for mold, mildew and pet fees and pot smokers.
We pray constantly t hat this country returns to the Creator. Recognizing the Author and finisher of All things. The Alpha and the Omega world without end. AMEN
In our ‘hood corporations are buying the few available homes on the market resulting in a price increase of 200%. My apartment rent is as high as friends who have home mortgages. This isn’t new, it’s been escalating over the last TEN YEARS. Just another area of shady information.
I am now retired a n d find my God reigns. HE HAS FAITHFULLY PROVIDED THE PAST 40 YEARS OF RISING SWAMP …
Math is math.. no opinions, always th same.. this article portrays another glaring example of our crippled economy.

Praying in agreement, Bob, in Jesus’ Mighty Name; amen!
