I'm really asking myself how people think people will keep financing real estates when costs of credits are exploding and the second peak of inflation still has to come.
People need to understand that stagflation means high inflation on needed goods and low increase in income which takes wealth away from people.
People not able to borrow the significant amount of money anymore to uphold current real estate prices.
Poland a nice example where 2 years ago the average person could get 800k PLN credit
Last year 440k PLN and this year 180k PLN.
No diffrence in US and soon EU.
All they do is waiting to sell their RE assets to retailers at top prices and buy back at bottom.
Repeat of 2007-2011
Sometimes i think people slept in 2007-2011 not knowing today how quickly it went down there and even people who pay their debt on time will get big trouble.
So many risks i don't want to even mention all.
1.RE prices going down making that RE price will be lower than amount of credit.You get a nice call from the bank to deposit the deficit in 14 days else termination of
loan and the RE goes to auction.
2.Energy Efficiency which need to be done till 2030/33 which is causing that many real estates already dumped a lot in value.
3.Increase of interest rates which in europe could kill a lot of loans in a stagflationary envirement
4.Banking Crisis where non liquid banks are selling good RE loans to locust companies for 1/3 of the value which will demand total repayment of loan in 14 days or auction of RE. (happened in big amount in 2008-2011 in
germany which made people upset because they ALWAYS paid in time but were unable to pay within 14 days the rest amount.Their RE got sold for 1/3-1/2 of real price on auctions).
The worst part since their RE got sold for so cheap (smaller than rest debt) on auctions they very often still had a rest debt to the locust company in the end.
There are even way more and bigger risks i do not want to talk in public but these alone should make people fear about the RE market.
If people have less and less money in their wallets how do you expect them to pay higher prices for RE ?
Did you checked european stats how many people already need to cut expenses massivly and i'm not talking about the poor class.
