Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.

Why is this such a huge crisis in the UK and not in other European countries. I live in Belgium and most mortgages are fixed for full term which is upto 35 years.

The Netherlands had a similar system as the UK until the bank crisis. Interest only and a couple of years fixed mortgages but they changed all that after the bank crisis. This way the banks were forced to be responsible lenders. Under EU regulations it is however harder for banks to repossess a house as they can not sell a property under the value of the mortgage and not the value of property.

@@mramg6038 Let me tell you, the absolute worst scenario to be involved with, is owning a leasehold flat. You still have a landlord (management company), the industry isn’t regulated, so there’s no legislation in place to stop them from increasing the annual service charge willy-nilly. Over a ten year period my service charge had gone up over 100% from when I first bought the property. Thankfully, I only had a small mortgage (£30k) which I cleared. They also demand a sinking fund on top, so the total costs with council tax, energy and water are ridiculous.

So much more complicated than that. I don't disagree with the premise but things like printing money for furlough during covid and then paying a chunk of people's energy have caused massive inflation. Under normal circumstances you want the economy to grow so buying things isn't a bad thing - inflation being 'allowed' to rise so much whilst people are locked in with nothing at all they can do about it - it's hard to blame people, the government are also responsible. Also the banks aren't passing on the interest to savers so everyone is still spending and not saving - making things even worse!

Doubtful. Interest rates are leading measures, meaning there is quite a lag before the pain is felt. If we're already seeing signs of trouble, then it wont be long before recession bakes in & inflation crashes down to earth. Bear in mind most of the inflation is a result of chip shortages on cars, COVID, and the QE printed. I suspect most people will erode their savings over Christmas & then face reality by Spring. Interest rates will pivot & we'll see a return to near 0 rates by this time next year.

One thing that never gets mentioned in alarmist coverage of the so-called mortgage crisis is the significant (in some cases huge) capital gain that most home owners will have made. Even those who bought a couple of years ago will have made 20%+ on what they paid, and those who bought a decade or more ago will have seen the value of their house double (or more). By contrast, renters will be seeing rents going up by similarly steep amounts without the consolation of a capital gain, but they're getting comparatively little mention. If you can't afford your new mortgage repayments, sell up and cash in on your capital gain. No need for the taxpayer or the banks to bail you out.

Surely if the government were serious about reducing inflation they'd do through increased vat on luxury purchases. That way the low paid who rent wouldn't be affected as their landlords wouldn't need to increase the rent and people with mortages wouldn't be losing their houses. Those that are probably most able to fuel inflation because they have high disposable incomes and no mortgages could be targeted because at the moment they're still booking long holidays and ordering the latest designer luxury cars and gadgets.

The verm1n were the clear catalyst. Martin Lewis said somet similar & I rate he knows his onions.

The difference is that historically the loan to value percentages were much lower, as the cost of houses were lower and wages compared to the cost of your property were MUCH higher. So, the only way that these interest rates stay 'normal' is that either homes reduce massively in value or that wages rise significantly to reverse that position. So Martin is simply parroting the boomer/Gen X line that 'oh, we had it harder with interest rates'. No you did not.
