    If my family of four can live cramped inside a one bedroom apartment for years, then overleveraged folks can downsize from the large houses they bought during the pandemic. And, if nothing else, it will feel a little like justice.

      That’s not the discussion here though. It was about how the sharp rise in interest rates will flood the market with foreclosed homes… somehow making it magically affordable for people who couldn’t afford a house at the low interest rates.

      And now your family of four in your cramped apartment will be competing with a LOT more people for that same number of cramped spaces… supply/demand… it’s going to hurt EVERYONE not just the overleveraged. Meanwhile corporate housing companies will be playing Scrooge McDuck.
