LOWER. YOUR. ASKING. PRICE.

@RepThomasMassie @FmrRepMTG @RepBoebert @RepNancyMace How about you showing the same tenacity going against libs & dems? Remember, please keep
perspective that u r in a deep red house seat.

If I lose, nobody’s going to stick their head up. The entire GOP will be a rubber stamp. If I win, there’ll be more people like @FmrRepMTG, @RepBoebert, & @RepNancyMace who are willing to go against the grain when it’s unambiguously the right thing to do.

@dgsommersmkts Oh Massie. We luv ya, but libertarians in deep red houses seats can be annoying. They have zero chance to win statewide much less presidential victories

I am with Massie.

@franzialover @erichhartmann @IGHO_2022 Sure but this is not true in many/most markets. Yes the existing sfh transactions are way down but who cares besides realtors? For ex: here in CA sellers r in control. The sell prices continue to rise in most markets (im only talking existing sfh - no condos or new builds).
English
@jgpuck99 @erichhartmann @IGHO_2022 There doesn't need to be a crash. The housing market has ground to a halt. There is a mismatch between buyers and sellers. Buyers can't pay the asking price. All the equity over the past 5 years is fake.
English
@franzialover @erichhartmann @IGHO_2022 With the fed and state & federal govt bailouts they are indeed “holding out”. We have been hearing a home price crash is coming “next year” every year since 2022. They will not allow foreclosures, defaults, or deflation.
English
@dgsommersmkts But DiMartino-Booth said we defeated inflation and the FED needs to slash rates & do QE!?
English
Where would mortgage rates be today if the Fed had never intervened in the mortgage-backed securities market? The Fed's ownership of these securities was zero in 2008. What would happen to mortgage rates if the Fed exited the MBS market?
English
@CNLiberalism @IGHO_2022 Agreed, but if you dont have to pay the debt why worry?
English
Policy-driven affordability is great and all but at some point people need to start making better personal decisions too

"The average monthly new-car payment reached $774 in January, up from $588 in January 2021...A growing share of buyers are taking on even larger loans: More than 20 percent of new-car borrowers agreed to pay over $1,000 a month at the end of last year." nytimes.com/2026/03/16/bus…

@jonbrooks @PeterSchiff Agreed. Thus Home prices gonna boomboom not doomdoom🚀
English
@PeterSchiff This is all politicians. They just print and screw over future generations
English
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that it’s ridiculous to ask whether Trump would consider raising taxes to pay for the war. That confirms Trump’s intent to pay for the war with more debt and higher inflation. The biggest threat to the U.S. comes from Washington, not Iran.
English
@jonbrooks Yes, but it does not mean home comp prices will meaningfully deflate
English
This map tells you everything you need to know about housing right now.
Prices are falling in most major metros…
while inventory is rising at the same time.
That’s not normal.
That’s supply finally overwhelming demand.
And look where it’s happening:
Sun Belt = red
Northeast/Midwest = holding up
This isn’t a national housing story anymore.
It’s a two-market system:
• Oversupplied → price cuts
• Undersupplied → stability
Every market is micro, study accordingly.
English
@nickgerli1 @DiMartinoBooth Same old tho. Southern states, tx, fl, etc. Also lets see rents for single family homes, not condos or apts. still going up
English
Rental market deflation is spreading across the U.S.
Austin is down 22% from peak.
Fort Myers is down 19%
Denver is -13%
Atlanta is -11%
Nashville is -11%
Dallas is -11%
Landlords are doing big rent cuts across the Sun Belt and West.
In some cases, they're even offering 3 months free rent (20-25% net rent cuts).
This is great news for renters and homebuyers.
English
The middle class is not well.

Across the United States, plasma centers are opening in wealthier areas as more people struggle with the high cost of housing, groceries and health care. Here's a look at the middle-class suburbanites who sell their blood plasma to get by financially: nytimes.com/2026/03/20/bus…
English
@jgpuck99 @jonbrooks false, much of the country has a glut currently.
English
Builders are paying you $100K to buy their homes
And inventory is still piling up
Now imagine supply without the incentives
English
On a positive note, prices are beginning to come down in earnest in many markets, like Dallas
Lots of inventory with price discovery being led by the “must-sell” existing homeowners

In less than a month, hope for a decent spring selling season has all but vanished in housing as oil spikes, rates jump, and inflation expectations reset higher. Can’t even get an adjustable-rate mortgage below 6% anymore.
English
@Reniec7 @DiMartinoBooth Danielle has been predicting a home price crash for years🤦
English
@DiMartinoBooth No one will buy them. The kids without homes will live in them.
English
Repeat after me: There is NO housing shortage.
There IS a yawning housing DISCONNECT between Boomers (avg # children=3.2) & Millennials (avg # children=2.0) & Gen Z (TBD but much lower).
WHO will buy Boomers’ homes as they die?
Multigenerational HH formation to keep rising.
Capital Markets Guy@CapitalMktGuy
Nearly 10mo of housing supply. What ever happened to the housing shortage?
English
I cannot express HOW bad it is when
the stock market falls and interest rates
spike at the same time.
It's a double whammy to housing,
that is already on the edge of the cliff.
