Doesn't just about everyone who buys a house have the risk of losing their job? It could be the economy or maybe a person who is a non productive slacker that gets canned, happens everyday! Or some brain dead President that mandates an experimental vaccine or lose your job?Blackvegetable » 17 Jun 2025, 11:28 am » wrote: ↑ Of course....self explanatory....

Of course the Slimes has to blame Trump wether true or false.
The point of the 2024 rates is they haven't varied much since then.
Bottom line, the projected home sales will bring us out of the Biden slump!

Inflation was easing, the economy looked strong and mortgage rates were drifting downward. By April, there were more available homes to buy than at any time since January 2020, according to the Federal Reserve of St. Louis. The conditions were ripe for buyers to re-emerge, checkbooks in hands, and sellers to negotiate.
Then on April 2, President Trump rolled out his expansive global trade tariffs, shocking the stock and bond markets and sparking fears of a recession. Mortgage rates jumped again, hitting 6.89 percent for a 30-year fixed-rate loan on May 29, their highest level since early February. The extreme volatility threw cold water on a fragile market. Buyers bailed out.
“There isn’t any urgency to buying right now — if anything it feels more risky to put a down payment into a home when you might not have a job six months from now,” said Daryl Fairweather, the chief economist of Redfin.

The lesson here is

Move your heads up and down...
