Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?
Gee, I never thought about all these houses that I was buying without a second thought! Damn, no wonder the prices are going up like crazy!
Sarcasm aside, a lot of real estate is being bought by rich assholes and companies that keep rolling debt on top of debt and using their owned property as collateral for getting more loans and keep the ball rolling. This was the case in 80s Japan and is the current case of USA (almost like a repeat of 2008) and China. If the previous bursts are anything to go by, prices won’t go down.
