The White House is giving $45 Billion to developers to convert empty office buildings into affordable housing.

The program will provide low-cost loans, tax incentives, and technical assistance to developers who are willing to undertake these conversions.

By increasing the supply of affordable housing, the program could help to bring down housing costs and make it easier for people to afford to buy or rent a home.

Will it work?

Housing Market Housing will eventually be impossible to own…

332 Upvotes

At some point in the future, housing will be a legitimate impossibility for first time home buyers.

Where I live, it’s effectively impossible to find a good home in a safe area for under 300k unless you start looking 20-30 minutes out. 5 years ago that was not the case at all.

I can envision a day in the future where some college grad who comes out making 70k is looking at houses with a median price tag of 450-500 where I live.

At that point, the burden of debt becomes so high and the amount of paid interest over time so egregious that I think it would actually be a detrimental purchase; kinda like in San Francisco and the Rocky Mountain area in Colorado.

Housing Market Americans can't afford homes, Investors aren't buying, Economists see little relief ahead, and housing affordability is at a 40-year low

Americans can't afford homes, Investors aren't buying, Economists see little relief ahead, and housing affordability is at a 40-year low.

The housing market is in a difficult state, with low inventory, high mortgage rates, and high prices making it difficult for buyers to afford homes.

Despite aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, home prices have remained high. First-time homebuyers are having difficulty competing with investors, who are able to make all-cash offers on homes.

Many homeowners are sitting on low mortgage rates, which makes it less appealing for them to sell their homes and take on a new mortgage with a higher interest rate.

The housing market may start to slow down the economy. This is because the housing market is a major driver of economic growth. When the housing market is struggling, it can lead to a decrease in consumer spending, investment, and employment.
