How I Would Fix the Housing Market | Episode 550

Hey, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it’s a cool 55-degree morning here as I cruise at metaphorical 40,000 feet thinking about one of the biggest, nastiest, most rigged disasters in America today: the housing market.

If you already own your forever home and never plan on moving, maybe this episode won’t hit as hard.
But if you’ve got kids, want to buy someday, or care about your community at all?
This mess affects you.

And today I’m breaking down exactly what I would do to fix this broken, overpriced, overregulated clown show of a market we’re stuck in.

The Housing Market Is Completely Broken

Everything about American housing is upside down:

• Starter homes cost $340–$400k

• Insurance has doubled

• Property taxes have doubled

• Wages have gone up maybe 40% in 25 years

• Home prices have gone up 300%

No one can buy.
No one can sell.
No one can move.

We backed ourselves into a corner where:

• Buyers can’t afford homes

• Sellers don’t want to give up their 3% pandemic mortgages

• Downsizing is impossible

• Moving is pointless
