Comments on: How Can Anyone Claim That The Housing Crisis Is Over When The Delinquency Rate On U.S. Mortgages Continues To Explode At An Exponential Rate? http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/how-can-anyone-claim-that-the-housing-crisis-is-over-when-the-delinquency-rate-on-u-s-mortgages-continues-to-explode-at-an-exponential-rate Are You Prepared For The Coming Economic Collapse And The Next Great Depression?

By the standards of most of our history,
the market is full of overbuilt McMansions.
These will likely be remodeled into multi-units if
close in or allowed to crumble if too far from jobs
(How does Suburbia look with $10/gal
gas?) Do you remember the 19th century mansions that
surrounded downtown? In the 60’s and 70’s they were
all slums.
The younger generation will not buy into the myth of
ownership like the Baby Boomers. They only way we
will get back to 2007 prices in the next 20 years is
if we have Weimar style inflation.

I don’t know whats happening to this country man but it makes me sad that no one knows a thing about our true history anymore. Theyre just looking for politicians and the lame stream media to tell them how and what to think.

It’s nice to see someone can see the truth!

Maybe you should try checking out a few facts. Ever heard of Glass/Stegil? Do a search on youtube for the 7 dems talking about how sound our economy was just before the crash (which was a response to Bush saying we were heading for big trouble). If you want to jail somebody how about 99% of the politician elected over the past 100 years. This did not start 10 years ago, or 50 years ago, you have to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson and the creation of the FIAT MONEY SYSTEM. Which directly lead to the crash of 29. Get your head out of the party line and try learning some real history instead of that revisionist/marxist crap they teach in public school. Try studying the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers, read the letters written by Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and others of that time. If you are teachable you will see that both parties have/are/and will be in the future working against the common man.

We’re currently at around 8x in my market, and nobody in their right mind is willing to buy. My area probably won’t return to a reasonable 2-2.5x until all the supports are gone and the boomers start retiring (front edge hits in 1-3 years, with the peak coming roughly 15 years after that), at which point housing may become exceptionally cheap as estate sales and retirement realities hit. It’ll be on a downward spiral for at least a couple decades. I suspect the next wave that is coming will drop us to 3-4x once the dust settles, then the last bit will be a slow long-term decline as the baby boomers are forced to liquidate their largest assets, houses, which will either decimate the house construction business or the existing house market. Between smaller following generations, market dynamics, house construction rates, and related effects, I expect the average house will be .5-1x the median income sometime in my lifetime (probably around 2030 or so).

Think through this – health care passes (today?), insurance companies realize that they need to let people go and to raise rates by 20% (they are already raising rates as of right now), health care costs go up by 20% for average people by 20% or say $200 per month, people stop paying their mortgages of which they are already starting to do (people are stopping to pay for their mortgages FIRST these days because they know that there are so many challenges that it will take 6 months before banks will get around to foreclosing on them!)…

This is the perfect recipe for disaster!

I would suggest you pick up a book titled ” AFTERSHOCK” written by David Wiedemer it will open your eye’s to the mess comming our way.
