It would take some combination of up to a 28% decline in home prices, a more than 4% reduction in 30-year mortgage rates, or up to a 60% growth in median household incomes to bring home affordability back to its 25-year average, per Black Knight
Whatever your stance on SBMM,
The fact that I literally cannot play this game with friends who are not creators/streamers is extremely lame.
The SBMM is so hardcore that my regular mates just flat out refuse to play when I am involved
One of the toughest things about getting older is realizing how many people ONLY talk to you when you're the one reaching out first. Tough to find real genuine friends.
2 years ago: 30-yr mortgage rate was 2.81% & average new home price in the US was $395k.
Today: 30-yr mortgage rate is 6.94% & average new home price is $522k.
Result: $25k increase in down payment (assuming 20% down) & 112% increase in monthly payment (from $1,300 to $2,761).
Call of Duty Multiplayer died for me when every player had to have a 1.0
K/D and be coddled in SBMM lobbies.
It’s a shame I’m playing in the sweatiest lobbies of all-time with no rank to show for it.
Sigh.
