I think many people here are wrong to assume that most will suffer if crash come. Actually only those who overcommit will feel the pain. For houseowners or long term investors, price up or down makes no difference. Will price come down, I believe so. Desperate speculators will pull down the price, just like they push up the price previously. What is the percentage of speculators and investors in the market now? From a few threads here, it is more than 50%.
Most taikors here, even if they dun believe there is a crash, they r not buying since last yr.
Then the big question is - how many have overcommitted.Most taikors here, even if they dun believe there is a crash, they r not buying since last yr.
Speculators/flippers - yes
Those who overborrowed ? (some banks give DSR of 80%)
Those who overborrowed based on projection of future earnings/ big bonuses?
I hate to mulut celupar, but I do remember the biggest pain in the 1997 crisis was watching friends who had to sell their houses because salary cut/ lost side income/ lost jobs.
Banks in general have been very lax in giving out loans during the 2000-2012 BBB period
