I find that a lot more likely than everyone cheering on a market crash.

Seriously, these rates are great compared to the 80’s, although sale prices were an order of magnitude lower to be fair. Once people get over the shock of such a rapid rate rise I think the market will stabilize some. I wouldn’t expect to see record sale numbers, but people will still buy.

Glad you’re comfortable, I wouldn’t expect it to go down significantly anytime soon.

I’m still recovering from a major injury myself, and I couldn’t agree more. I’m at the stage of my recovery where I’m able to start working again to some degree which is great, but trying to navigate my realigned priorities is a challenge I did not have on my radar initially.

Sure, but most of them are not in my experience. Almost everyone I’ve seen cheering for a market crash is in position where they can’t afford to buy otherwise. I get it, but it ignores all the nuance of the effect of the larger economy.
