Most housing headlines are wrong.
I break down what’s actually happening in real time.

Does this look like a housing shortage to you?

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

The craziest part of today's housing market?

Builders would rather spend $50,000 buying down your mortgage...

Than cut the sticker price.

That tells you everything you need to know about where the real pressure is.

In September 2021 Tampa had 2 homes under contract for every 1 for sale.

Now it has 3.4 for sale for every 1 under contract.

Buyers aren't stupid. They're waiting.

@WhiteHouse How about “Looking for someone who believes it’s wrong for him and his family to grift off the American people”

@unusual_whales Can’t wait. Thank god.

@kevinxu The shorts don’t like it

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@PeterSchiff Yes they’re always behind

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@FluentInFinance Home prices are not rising anymore in most areas

@ChiefEngineerCE @TheEuropeansHQ No matter what, it’s our dollars

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@nicksortor We should have higher rates: that’s not a political belief, it’s a fact

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@Hedgeye Yes, very sad. Our government did this

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@Polymarket What else are they going to do? Crash the economy?

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@KobeissiLetter Maybe the negative outlook on this stuff is way overblown?

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@ResiClub_HQ I was told rents go up every year no matter what and we had a housing shortage

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

@HollyBullardFL @JaxPeel Yes it’s a tax shift from owners to consumers

That’s not how it is probably intended but that is the likely outcome

The system is designed to protect the system

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

Most homes in America now sell for less than the asking price.

3 out of 5. For 18 months straight.

Sellers still think it's 2022.
