In an unprecedented turn of events, the housing market is plunging at an unprecedented rate, marking the fastest crash in recorded history. Eric Bowlin, a housing market analyst, reveals chilling statistics, stating that only five periods since 1963 have witnessed housing prices drop by more than 2% over any 12-month span, with 2024 joining the ominous list alongside 1969, 1990, 2008, and 2019.
The distressing reality extends to the median sales price of houses, which has experienced its most substantial year-over-year decline on record. As the housing market trembles, it sends shockwaves through the broader economic landscape, raising concerns about the health of the nation’s economy.
Under the shadow of what some are calling ‘Bidennomics,’ major corporations are taking drastic measures in response to economic uncertainties. Macy’s, an iconic retail giant, is shutting down 150 stores. H&M, a global fashion retailer, has filed for bankruptcy. The impact is not limited to retail, as Outback Steakhouse announces the closure of 41 locations, and Rite Aid is forced to shutter 200 pharmacies.
As the economic downturn continues to unfold, these distressing indicators prompt a closer examination of the current economic policies and their implications. With major players in various industries feeling the pinch, the question looms: Is everything truly fine?

I had to check the numbers a few times, but they seem legit. Now this is just the delinquency rate that Freddie Mac is experiencing but half of the mortgage debt outstanding in this category are from the agencies… pic.twitter.com/Z3WycEumt5
