Housing Bubble Part Deux! Home Price To Median Household Income Now Higher Than During Catestrophic Home Price Bubble Of 2005-2009 (Job Losses Primarily Women)

Yikes! The ratio of US Home Prices to US Median Household Income is now higher than the ratio during the catestrophic housing bubble during the latter half of the 2000s.

Here is a chart of home prices and median household incone,

The labor market is truly screwed-up. The December jobs report reveals that women account for nearly all labor force losses.

I Ain’t Drunk! Home Buyering Collapses As Home Prices 55% More Costly Than When Biden Became President (Mortgage Rates 64% More Expensive)

I ain’t drunk! But it would help in this housing market where housing prices and mortgage rates are much higher than when Joe Biden became President in January 2020. In fact, the Case-Shiller national home price index is 55% higher than when Sleepy Joe took the reins of Presidency and the 30-year mortgage rate is 64% higher.

Because of higher housing prices and mortgage rates,

The Case-Shiller national home price index is 55% higher than when Sleepy Joe took the reins of Presidency and the 30-year mortgage rate is 64% higher.

As a result of higher housing prices and mortgage rate (and Gavin Newsom’s ludicrous policies), it will take over 30 years to accumulate enough savings to buy a home in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose and San Francisco.

I ain’t drunk, but first-time homebuyers will need to be drunk in this housing market.

The US-Weimar Republic! Gold Soaring With M1 Money Printing (Good Governments Don’t)

Money makes the world go around and gold prices soar!

Gold is looking eerily like gold prices during the Weimar Republic in Germany.

Tomorrow belongs to Socialists like AOC and Bernie Sanders who want to keep spending. Along with Senator Chuck

Good governments don’t print insane quantities of money.

Fear! Extreme Fear In Markets At -13 (Greed Is 50 And Above)

Collapsing crypto and metal prices coupled with a tanking stock market is pointing to EXTREME FEAR.

The BofA bull and bear indicator says the same thing.

The realization that government is just a money laundering operation for politicians and that The Fed is just a friend of the big banks says it all.

Pending Home Sales Fall To Lowest Since 2020 (Covid) As People Flee New York And California

According to Redfin, US pending home sales fell to the lowest since the Covid epidemic of 2020.

With the population change from state to state, like New York, California and Illinous to South Carolina and Idaho (home of Napolean Dynamite), it is no wonder that the housing market is in a state of turmoil.

Why leave New York? A scene from Mandami’s NYC.

State Of The Housing Market! Lowest Turnover In Decades, New Construction Premium Vanishes, Median Age Of First-Time Homebuyers Is 40

Home prices exploded under Biden and Covid Federal spending. Making housing unaffordable for millions. Now the turnover rates for homes is at its lowesst rate in decades.

Existing homes are now more expensive than new homes.

Florida housing is getting gut-punched from Naples to Punta Gorda.

Yikes! Median age of first time homebuyers is 40.

Fortunately, Joe Biden is out of office. But Chuck Schumer may make a comeback and restart the insane Covid-era spending. Schumer, the penultimate knucklehead in Congress, approved Ketanji Brown Jackson to sit on the Supreme Court of the USA.

Household Formation Slowing As Is Home Price Growth (Particularly In Bubble-prone Metro Areas Like Fort Myers FLA, Austin TX And San Franciso CA)

Household formation is slowing. Partly due to immigration slowing, partly due to increased cost on living (primarily due to Biden-era Federal spending).

But if Democrats win Congress, they will undoubtedly go for open borders … again.

Home prices are tanking in bubble-ish metro areas like Florida, California and Austin Texas. Oddly, I have lived in Austin, San Francisco and Chico CA. All before that were bubble magnates.

One way to get household formation to increase? https://x.com/i/status/2017468783267614785
