So mortgage rates are dropping this year. Everyone's talking about it like it's some kind of game changer for housing, but is it really?



Sure, lower rates mean cheaper monthly payments on paper. But here's the thing – home prices haven't exactly crashed, have they? In a lot of markets, they're still sitting near record highs. So you're saving a bit on interest, but you're still paying a fortune upfront.

And what does this actually mean for anyone in the crypto space? Well, when traditional assets like real estate start looking more attractive because of rate cuts, money flows there. Less capital floating around for risk assets. It's all connected.

Anyone thinking about jumping into property right now, or are you keeping your powder dry for other opportunities? Rates might be down, but timing is everything.

Really, lowering mortgage rates sounds great, but house prices are still so high. It just feels like a trick to fleece investors.

Housing prices haven't dropped much, and you want to drain our blood with rate cuts? Let's talk later.

Lower interest rates sound sexy, but housing prices are still piling up there, and the actual returns may not surpass crypto volatility. It still depends on where the capital flows.

Housing prices are still so outrageous, what’s the point of cutting interest rates... Money is flowing into real estate, making it even harder for us to grab our risk assets.

Cutting interest rates can save the real estate market? That's a joke. Housing prices are still ridiculously high, and that tiny interest savings will be wiped out by the down payment in minutes.

Housing prices aren't falling, and lowering interest rates is useless; you still have to shell out big money to buy a house. This logic is a bit funny.

Speaking of low interest rates, it seems good, but in reality, housing prices haven't really become cheaper. It's just pure money-grabbing. Funds are flowing into real estate, and our DeFi and altcoin season are being drained dry... Damn.

Housing prices haven't dropped, so what if the monthly payments are cheaper? The down payment is still just as hard to afford. I really can't understand this logic.
