Choose One: Housing Is Shelter, Or Housing Is Just Another Asset In A Bubble Economy
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via Of Two Minds,
This will get massive pushback because it's true: either Housing Is Shelter, or Housing Is Just Another Asset in a Bubble Economy - it can't be both. This reality gets pushback because the conversion of housing from shelter into just another asset bubbling higher in a bubble-dependent economy has been so profitable for those inflating the bubble.
The basic pushback goes like this: housing has always been an investment, nothing has changed. This is classic misdirection. This is like saying "stock market options have always been a way to hedge positions" to justify the transition from hedging to extremes of gambling, i.e. zero-day expiration options (ODTE).
Whenever I suggest that housing is being hoarded by the wealthy and corporations as a low-risk asset to park credit-generated capital, I get pushback: no, I'm told, the percentage of housing that's empty mo...

Americans' Average Monthly Mortgage Payment Tops $2000 For The First Time Ever
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,
U.S. households are being financially squeezed at a level that we have never seen before. I have often said that we are in a long-term cost of living crisis that never seems to end, and that is not an exaggeration at all. Just about everything has been getting more expensive in recent years, and as a result our standard of living has been going down. In many areas of the country, you now have to earn six figures just to live a basic middle class lifestyle. The numbers that I am going to share with you in this article may be hard to believe, but they are very real. Inflation has been out of control for many years, and hard working American families are being absolutely crushed.
For the first time in U.S. history, the average monthly mortgage payment now exceeds $2,000…
Homeowners faced a sticker shock at the end of 2025 as the average monthly mortgage pay...

|
|
|
Research shows generations of children in England will grow up homeless unless government addresses council housing debt, charity saysIt would take more than a century to clear the social housing waiting lists in England at the government's current speed of delivering new social homes, research by Shelter has shown.The housing charity found that more than 1.3m households are on a waiting list for a social home, but only 12,198 were built by councils, housing associations or private developers across England last year. This equates to an average of 110 households waiting for every new social home delivered, and it would take 119 years to clear the waiting lists if building continued at the same rate.

Coinbase To Launch Token-Backed Mortgage Down-Payments This Summer
Authored by Turner Wright via CoinTelegraph.com,
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will allow qualified borrowers to pledge digital assets to fund Fannie Mae-backed mortgage apartments beginning this summer.
In a Thursday notice, Coinbase and its partner, Better Home & Finance, said the mortgage structure plan launching “by summer 2026” will allow borrowers to initially use Bitcoin (BTC) or USDC (USDC) as collateral for loans to fund down payments for homes. The initiative, first announced in March, represented a significant shift in companies allowing digital assets to be used for financing houses.
“We're excited to expand access to all qualified borrowers to fix an ongoing issue: buyers who qualify on every measure that matters but cannot clear the down payment hurdle because their wealth isn't where the system expects to find it,” said Better founder and CEO Vishal Garg.
Garg said in a March post on X:
