| American home prices are sliding as the US Federal Reserve ploughs ahead with rate increases, raising fears that parts of the US property market could be “getting close” to a crash last experienced in 2008.
“It’s a lot different from what it was in 2021. It’s not quite a crash yet, but it’s getting close,” Davis said.“The peak was May 2022. Since then, we have had an 18 per cent correction.

“We have such a low-interest rate on our mortgage, it’s just 2.9 per cent, that our monthly mortgage payment as well as [body corporate fees and taxes] is comparable to that of renting similarly sized units in the area.”, the highest annual rate since 1979. States such as Idaho had notched up a 34 per cent increase in just 12 months.
Airbnb hosts are switching from short- to long-term lets or selling their properties, adding to a growing number of listings.
