You'll buy the same house for a higher price and your monthly payment will be the same.Here are some highlights from the article: High interest rates contributing to chronic housing shortage | Tatiana BaileyDuring the Great Recession, our region significantly underbuilt, which is one of the primary reasons we have a standing housing shortage today.

I agree though on commercial real estate also hotels etc there will be a lot of changing of ownership's.. but for each one that goes out of business some one will come in and replace them if its a viable location or business.On the construction side i know we are going to be looking at the sub trades to compete like the old days instead of whats happened the last 10 years with sub contractor price creep.I think with all the service industries letting people go what has been a labor shortage in construction could end up being a flood of labor.. go swing a hammer ?
