its like fucking 2006 never happened.
let's discuss.

The interest rate aint set in stone
LOLZ at your 4.5% increase in home values. Just fucking LOLZ
I assume monthly payment maths is copent enough

Monthly savings.... LOL @ 168 car payment
Annually..... LOL @ caribbean vacation, maybe for ONE person
LOL, if you have that kind of CC debt YOU SHOULD NOT BE BUYING A FUCKING HOUSE

over 30 years....LOL you are going to do a calculation like that and not talk about inflation or cost of money :lolol:


Hold on to your butts people
Anxiously awaiting the crash. I'd love for it to happen and hit a good low by December.
Philly is full speed ahead :fullretard: on home prices. Many houses have gained $50-100k in "value" in the last year. I have to wonder how sustainable that is. At this point, even people that make good money (relatively) can't afford to live in Philly.

Anyone know how subprime home lending is going right now?

Yeah. Its nuts right now. Housing prices are out of control. So the gov solution is to ease regulations that curb subprime lending instead of letting the market adjust itself as people get declined for mortgages that are out of their reach. Great. What could possibly go wrong?

When I was looking at houses a couple years back, I was :shock: at the amount they approved me for. Hellllllll no.

Just sit tight, and be the rock that weathers the storm.

You're not buying, you're not selling.
You got in at a good time.

If you're talking about the larger economic impact. Well, I got nothing, other than save as much as you can.

It makes zero sense. Insanity everywhere, and this isn't going to fix anything.

A coworker just accepted a field job in Montana. He said he's been looking at houses, and there's pretty much nothing worth buying under $350k. In fucking MONTANA.

:wtf: :doomed:

Yes, that. If 'the government' wanted to help with housing, they would start bringing down the hammer on the NIMBY fuckers and allow things like re zoning for more high density apts, tiny houses, garage apts, etc, etc

I am really glad to have bought our house 3 years ago and am happy with where we are. Things will go :fullretard: and come back down to us still breaking even. I wouldn't even consider moving for at least 5 years unless to a rental of some sort.

Guy I know told me he put an offer of 187 on a house listed at 167 and didn't get it.

House sold for 110 in 2010.

Super shitty part of town.

How do you like induction?
Yeah guys fully in agreement. There's a time and place to :crang: but this wasn't it. I'm kind of surprised the guy didn't want to pick up the tab but I'm not madbro.

The induction stove is :mindblown:

Water literally goes from cold to rapid boiling in 2 minutes, food starts cooking that fast too. It is kind of peculiar because it runs fans under the cooking surface that blow vigorously on my nads when the top is on.
Moving the pots leaves a warm to the touch surface thats easy to clean because it didn't bake on any overflow.
The surface needs to stay clean, especially with sugar products. That can cause pitting from what I read in the owner's manual.

I had to take the back cover off of the stove when it was out and put rubber gasket material around the contact surfaces because the oven fan kicks in and rattles the cover, amplifying the fan noise. Way quieter now that the cover sits snuggly on rubber.
You're limited to only using conducting pots and pans with induction, correct?

Anything that a magnet can stick to. My entire lagostina set works, one out of two non-stick pans that I own. I'm literally giving away two pans from my old collection. I guess it uses magetism to create a vibration/resonance in the pan. The :science: is cool!

That's what I thought. So no aluminum or glass stuff then.

Correct on the magnetic aspect of it. It's pretty :impressive: tech.

Nope. Doesn't work. Gas is probably still the best option but I don't have a line and my basement is finished already so this is the second best option.

For sure. 5/7 I'd choose induction over electric if gas was not an option.

This will keep happening as long as their is a false floor for big banks.

If the market truly was allowed to correct in 2008, I doubt this would be happening again so soon.

This is how you know most free marketers, at least those in a position to matter, don't really believe in laissez faire.

When the money is going their way, let it flow. But when the margin calls....
