Housing prices near me went from around 400k to 375k. Rent went from around 2000 to 3200 lol

Rates are currently making housing significantly more expensive

It’s unsustainable for those people that had ARMs and those who were hit with big property tax influxes. Something has to break and it’s not going to be the interest rates or renters IMO.

The ARM crisis will be in 5 years from now if rates are still high. I doubt many people had ARMs prior because rates were extremely low for a long period of times. Even those that did the ARMs now are capped at maximum rises total and per period.

In mid-2022, adjustable-rate mortgages made up nearly 10% of all new home loan applications, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association

In 2000 it was 30%, in 2005 it was 35%.

But to help your case, in 2015 it was 5%. So yes, we're way off the highs and lows of ARMs.

towards the end of the 2008 bubble no one really had ARM's cause they couldn't afford them.

they had interest only 1 year loans that were no income of documentation verification

Plus if they do the 5/1 or 7/1 arms, rates should be dropping in those time periods and they won't even be into the rate adjustment period before they can refinance at a lower fixed rate.

Builders are offering to buy points down for buyers as part of the incentives to sell.

Mortgage rates came down over the past few months, and prices have come down a bit too.

Demand is still down quite a bit though.
