A lot are on hiring freezes. Cutting costs and expenses.I believe we are in the beginning of the recession already.
One reason I say this,.........big companies are already laying people off. Not Good.
Ford
FedEx
Wayfair
Just to name a few.

Add those to the equation as well and we are in the very beginning of a recession for sure.A lot are on hiring freezes. Cutting costs and expenses.
COVID is the sole reason prices are what they are. If the Rona didn’t happen then real estate or anything for that matter would not have jumped 20%Im gonna go ahead and say it....
A large contributor to inflation was the Covid Stimulus BS.... We Printed some serious money and dished it out over the last few years... Its not JUST Biden's fault....
Someone feel free to disprove this.
Well the home value pendulum will swing back too. All the cash out refi folks will end up underwater if values drop 25-35%Mortgage rates in 1971 were an average of 7.54% in the ‘80’s they were as high as 18%. Everyone was hoping the rates were going to stay below3% forever. We got used to having access to cheap money. Now the pendulum is swinging the other way and everyone that just barely qualified at 3% and now are facing 7% or more are freaking out saying the sky is falling. If you didn’t know that rates could/would go up you were only fooling yourself.

I agree, if someone went into this with the minimum down payment and maxed out their ability to make the payments they are going to be in serious trouble. Shades of ‘08 coming up for those folks. Real Estate, like the stock market has ebbs and flows, it’s all about timing and not over extending yourself. Boom can turn to bust in a heartbeat
kiosks and Robot burger flippers in the near future.Which is interesting considering there are still places that are in need of people. Local fast food places still dont have enough staff or even USPS.
Then again, Newsom signed a law to possibly bump min wage to $22 for fast food employee's. Good ol California......
There are already Kiosks in some McDonald's but people don't like using them.kiosks and Robot burger flippers in the near future.
The trends definitely have me a bit nervous over here - Recently closed in July with a 4.75% rate, before any real downward shift in pricing. Demand is still high in this area, but you may get 2-4 quick offers slightly over asking instead of 10-20 offers at $75-100k over asking last year. Lower quality homes are sitting for a bit.
I own a small condo as well but with a wedding coming in 2023 and getting further into my early 30s, it was time to get a nice place with the lady (plus more garage space).
If the shit hits the fan and prices drop significantly, it will suck but you can't sit there and sulk about it. Just going to keep leaning into life, becoming indispensable at work and learning new skills. Being under water on a home can definitely hold you back, but it doesn't mean you have to miss out on other opportunities along the way.
(Wish me luck, lol)
Well if you’re fine now payment wise, it’s no sweat.
I owned two homes in SoCal in 08’. Was upside down 40% or so on both.
Rode it out and sold them both in 2019. Sold them for less than I paid in 04’ and 05’ and neither have gotten back there yet.

This keeps my pippin’ (Landlord) hand strong. Higher rates = stronger rental marketHow high we gonna get boys? Double digits in the future?
Yes, Mortgage Rates Are Now Over 7%, But It's Complicated

This is true. I walked out of a McD's because I didn't feel like learning how to use the self-ordering machine.There are already Kiosks in some McDonald's but people don't like using them.
Older folks know how to navigate on Facebook and TikTok but apparently can't order their food correctly even if it has pictures lol

We are hiring left and right. We even have outside contractors picking up work.
I think its generational.Those are just annoying. It took me 5 minutes to place my order at What-A-Burger the other day, when it would have been 30 seconds if a person was working the counter.
True. Let me ask: do you do self-check at the grocery store?I think its generational.
I would 10000% Take a Kiosk over dealing with some Idiot behind the counter.
"I said no onions."
If I **** it up on the Kiosk, its on ME. And im good with that. I prefer having the responsibility.
I certainly would take that over paying some dipshit 22/hr who cant take a proper fast food order.
Every chance I get. I am 1000000x more efficient and a superior bagger. I see no reason to let those subhumans handle my Groceries.True. Let me ask: do you do self-check at the grocery store?
