Reality 3,121 Posted April 13, 2023 This is only referring to rent and where is this incredible news? The intrigue: Falling rents, or at least rent that's not rising at a rapid clip, is undoubtedly good for renters who've been getting crushed over the past few years. But for the real estate sector, it's a growing problem. Property values on multifamily apartments are falling at the same time that interest rates are soaring and landlords' ability to push rents up even higher is weakening. That's an issue for anyone who bought buildings in 2021, when rates were rock-bottom, using a floating rate mortgage, as the WSJ explains. The market's already seeing some foreclosures. The bottom line: Rents are still pretty high, but the astronomical increases we've seen are likely going away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He comes down stairs on Christmas morning, sees a pile of horse apples under the tree and joyfully starts digging.

Meaning, they are still going up, just not as crazy high as before. Congrats on your poopy pony I guess. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseman 2,438 Posted April 13, 2023 Foking idiot doesn't even read the article, again. Guy just runs on headlines and doesn't even get that part right. Rent inflation. Most economists I've listened to say inflation is going to be pretty steady through the end of the year and into next before we see any significant decrease. Feds are set to raise interests rates again next month. Target rate of 2% is a long ways out folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will take more time to wring the Biden cash infusion out of the system, but at least its under way. Oddly, the best way to know it is effective is to see unemployment increasing. TBH the Fed craves unemployment, maybe not directly, but that is a pointed measure of their effectiveness....if unemployment rises, they feel like they have control.

Common expression in Wisconsin in the 60's. There were horse apples and cow pies which were reflective of the consistency of the two distinct items.. I guess it was a regional thing. Country boy here so I recognized deer scat, owl scat, pheasant poop, goose grease from duck slicks, muskrat shite from beaver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s like… Govt: “We cut spending!” Accountant: “You reduced the amount that you increased spending.” Democrats play a game similar to this in my state every 2 years when they plan the new budget. They'll come out & try to scare the low information voters by saying Republicans want to slash spending & lay off police, firefighters, teachers, etc. When in fact, all they're doing is fighting to limit the % democrats want to 'increase' spending. Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of low information people, it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,574 Posted May 10, 2023 Also, while I generally approve of Biden’s economic policies, I don’t give him credit for this or any other good economic news. Pretty much any good or bad thing that occurs economically during Biden’s first term has its roots in the Trump administration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 4,187 Posted May 10, 2023 Take this as a win for people, for as long as it lasts. If we can find a way to unwind the money poured into the economy that is a big win, and I give credit to Biden for relenting on the policies that created the problem as this only helps.
