Reasons given for this inversion:
- Oversupply of new houses.
- Poor quality of construction materials.
- Poor construction.
- HOA dues and restrictions.
An uncertain future and high interest rates also contribute to a collapsing real estate market.
State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

The real estate segment of the economy, both commercial and residential, is a leading indicator of where we are headed. This can be clearly seen if we look back at 2007.
It looks like it’s going to be really bad. Soon.
Consumer sentiment nears lowest level ever as worries build over shutdown – CNBC

It will collapse even further if the idiots on the SCOTUS rule against the tariffs Trump has levied on nations who have been ripping our country off for decades, because of stupid and ignorant Marxist communist democrats and republicrats. If the court rules against the tariffs which they should have no business in anyway because it’s out of there jurisdiction they will thrust our nation into the greatest depression our nation has ever seen and far worse then the 2929 collapse. The collapse will fall squarely on the disgusting and vile libtard and rino court and at this point they will all be dragged from there benches and hanged or shot in front of a military firing squad along with every federal judge, as well as our political leaders who are complicit whores in the deconstruction of our country.
The jobless rate will reach heights never seen before which in turn will cause massive civil chaos or war, all because of an ignorant court who does not follow nor care about the constitution of our republic.
You can still get FAR MORE with an existing home than you can from a new one. Far more character, creativity, better landscaping, etc. Those existing homes were built when materials were WAY LESS EXPENSIVE…not just a bit less.
Given the quality of new construction and materials typically utilized, this isn’t at all surprising. Unless you are custom building, are on the construction site almost daily to keep tabs on what is actually being done (and assuming you know what you are looking at, to actually recognize piss poor work, to demand it be corrected) and have a minimum of a million bucks to spend on better than average materials and labor, you are getting a cardboard box with vinyl siding, that will be ready for the bulldozer in well under 50 years.
As someone in a building trade myself (I do strictly repair work, no new construction) there are entire subdivisions being built right now that I fully expect to see condemned and levelled within my remaining lifetime, and I’m almost 52. Entire tracts of disposable structures are being built and sold to suckers who have grossly overpaid, no matter what the price. The wastefulness of all the materials, effort and capital being burned on this garbage with maybe a 30-40 year lifespan is breathtaking.
Strangely during Covid there was a dearth of new houses available to buy. You mean as soon as construction out paced demand, prices fell.
