What was said around it

payments while you then wait another 3 years to make its way through the system is rather unlikely in a way that would make any meaningful difference on the market. Not to mention less than half a percent of homeowners with a mortgage are more than 90 days later in their payment compared to almost 5% at the peak of the housing bubble. So from everything that I could see, there is no risk of foreclosures flooding the market. And I cannot find a single piece of data that credibly says that foreclosures are up by 700%. So overall, in my own opinion, I would not be surprised if nominal values continued going even higher while real values stayed flat or even saw a bit of a decline. For real estate investors, that could actually make a pretty good opportunity for rising rents. But for everybody else, my advice is pretty simple. Just buy what you're comfortably able to afford when you're ready on a home that you plan to keep for at least 7 to 10 years. But from all the data that we're beginning to see, I would not be surprised if some markets begin to soften and the rate of returns begins to return back to somewhat of a new normal. It's nothing to me that spells out a disaster. And depending
