Alot of you may be in a part of the country where housing prices dont flucuate that much but you still saw the rise of home prices in 06 and 07 and the fall in 09. In California this was greatly felt. Home prices trippled since 1997 and fell back down to that price in 09. Now prices are back up to their 07 highs and will conitinue slowly going up.
Prices are to the point were 80% of the population can not afford the home price. I ask what can be done about this?
Its the american dream to own a home and live there but sadly its become a money making scheme by the banks and investment source for the rich.
I propose there should be a law regulating the amount of different properties a person can own. Lets say 5. How would this effect our housing markets? Would it be for the better or worse?
I think it the prices would greatly fall and allow for more of our lower income to be able to afford a place to live. The economy may take a hit but if it were to recover then over all this would a great achievement.
