@nic9075 Don’t leave us in suspense, is PITI higher or lower? Is that good or bad? I imagine you’re mentioning this because the monthly mortgage payment is pretty low because of the artificially low mortgage interest rate. Or is it really high because of higher taxes? Or is it about the same because the the monthly payment is actually a mix of different contributors?
what does this look like adjusted for inflation?
and what about rents since 2006?? they have surged especially in the NYC area, but in the suburbs rent have gone parabolic
You cannot talk about home prices without mentioning the actual PAYMENT people are making now compared to 2006.. somehow the total PITI payment is never men
tioned..
22% inflation since 2006, still way off peak in real terms. But it does help the people who bought and the bankers who lent at the peak.
